We describe the implementation of an OpenFlow Switch on the NetFPGA platform.
OpenFlow is a way to deploy experimental or new protocols in networks that carry …

Network Algorithmics: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Designing Fast Networked Devices,
Second Edition takes an interdisciplinary approach to applying principles for efficient …

Power consumption and the footprint of future network elements are expected to become the
main limiting factors for scaling the current architectures and approaches to capacities of …

We consider a circuit-switched multiservice network with non-hierarchical alternative routing
and trunk reservation. Based on the fundamental concept of overflow priority classification …

Decoupling of economic growth and energy consumption becomes a very important goal
that can be achieved only by increasing the energy efficiency of new technologies and …

Recently, a lot of effort has been put into research and development of energy-efficient
devices and systems and into optimization of the network infrastructure with regard to energy …

While it is technically pleasing to believe that IP will dominate all forms of communication,
our delight in its elegance is making us overlook its shortcomings. IP is an excellent means …

We study the performance of an Internet that uses circuit switching (CS) instead of, or in
addition to, packet switching (PS). On the face of it, this would seem a pointless exercise; the …

In this paper we propose a novel hardware-software co-design vision that aims at enhancing
flexibility and reusability of hardware based packet forwarding engines. In particular, we …

Signaling protocols in switches are primarily implemented in software for two important
reasons. First, signaling protocols are quite complex with many messages, parameters and …
