RSS wide area networkOPCA: Fault-Tolerant Routing and Load-Balancing
White Paper However, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) today offers route fail-over times as long as 15 minutes and very limited control over incoming traffic across multiple wide area paths. The authors propose policy control architecture, Overlay Policy Control... [10 Jul 2008]
Geographic Load Balancing for Scalable Distributed Web Systems
White Paper Upgrading content site infrastructure from a single node to a locally distributed Web cluster composed by multiple server nodes provides a limited relief, because the cluster wide-area connectivity may become the bottleneck. [10 Jul 2008]
A Reconfigurable Ethernet/SONET Circuit-Based Metro Network Architecture
White Paper This paper proposes a service concept in which high-speed Ethernet interfaces from end hosts are dynamically cross-connected to equivalent-rate Ethernet-over-SONET (EoS) optical circuits for transport across metro-area networks and/or wide-area... [10 Jul 2008]
Optimizing 10-Gigabit Ethernet for Networks of Workstations, Clusters, and Grids: A Case Study
White Paper For local-area, storage-area, and system-area networks in support of networks of workstations, network-attached storage, and clusters, respectively, one can achieve over 7-Gb/s end-to-end throughput and 12- s end-to-end latency between... [10 Jul 2008]
An Experiment of Controlling Gigabit Wide Area Ethernet by GMPLS Supporting Layer-2 Switching Capability
White Paper Currently, due to the growth of Ethernet technologies, Ethernet has been deployed in Wide Area Network (WAN) as well as Local Area Network (LAN). Therefore Wide Area Ethernet is focused on as a high performance transport network. [08 Jul 2008]
