Graded Channel Reservation With Path Switching in Ultra High Capacity Networks

Tags:
switching

Overview As a result of the existing limitations of TCP/IP, significant efforts have been devoted to develop an alternative protocol stack based on the concept of advanced channel reservation, that is specifically tailored for large file transfers and other high throughput applications. This protocol stack is not intended to replace TCP/IP but rather complement it. This paper introduces a new algorithmic framework for advanced channel reservation in ultra high speed networks, called Graded Channel Reservation (GCR). GCR allows users to specify minimum bandwidth and duration requirements for their connections. GCR returns the highest graded path, selected according to a general, multi-criteria optimization objective.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
