A hardware-assisted design, dubbed cache-oriented multistage structure (COMS), is proposed for fast packet forwarding. COMS incorporates small on-chip cache memory in its constitu...
As the demand for high bandwidth on the Internet increases, it is required to build next generation routers with the capability of forwarding multiple millions of packets per secon...
The reconvergence of routing protocols in response to changes in network topology can impact application performance. While improvements in protocol specification and implementati...

Abstract—Several popular simulation and emulation environments fail to account for realistic packet forwarding behaviors of commercial switches and routers. Such simulation or em...
As forwarding tables and link speeds continue to grow, fast packet forwarding becomes increasingly challenging for enterprise edge routers. Simply building routers with ever large...
