Networks on Silicon: Combining Best-Effort and Guaranteed Services

We advocate a network on silicon (NOS) as a hardware architecture to implement communication between IP cores in future technologies, and as a software model in the form of a protocol stack to structure the programming of NOSs. We claim guaranteed services are essential. In the ÆTHEREAL NOS they pervade the NOS as a requirement for hardware design, and as foundation for software programming.
