Network operators need high-capacity router architectures that can offer scalability, provide throughput and performance guarantees, and maintain packet ordering. However, previou...
The increase of the web traffic has created the need for web switches that are able to balance the traffic to the server farms based on their contents (e.g. layer 7 switching). In...
Control Plane architectures enhance transport networks with distributed signaling and routing mechanisms which allow dynamic connection control. As a result, layer 1 switching net...
