Development of terabit‐class super‐networking technologies

We propose terabit-class super-networking technologies, designed to improve the scalability, reliability and performance of optical Internet protocol networks. Our technologies comprise both intra- and interlayer traffic engineering technologies. The intralayer technologies include an optical path protection scheme, an electrical load-balancing scheme and a distributed content-caching scheme. These provide an effective and economical way of improving performance and reliability. The interlayer technologies include both traffic-driven and application-driven optical cut-through control schemes and a policy control scheme. These provide an effective and economical way of improving scalability and performance. The feasibility of our technologies has been verified by means of experiments using prototype systems. The results showed that the different techniques can be combined to form a single network architecture for dynamic optical path control. Copyright

Implementation and Analysis of Scalable and Flexible Node for Large-scale Networks

It is necessary to improve the performance of packet forwarding nodes that form part of large-scale and functionally advanced networks to ensure that they function easily and effectively. In this paper, we propose a separation method, in which functions in the network node are divided into forwarding functions and control functions, and each set of functions is executed on different hardware (forwarder and controller). With this method, we configure resources in the forwarder as the controllers own virtual resources. By doing so, the software, which runs on the controller, is able to treat the forwarders resources as its own. We evaluate the effect of this method by applying it to a router, and clarify the performance improvement by the proposed method. And we select a stateful packet filtering as another test target, which executes the complex processing in packet forwarding. We then examine the field where the pro-posed method is effective
