The Virtual Token-Passing Ethernet Implementation and Experimental Results

Tags:
ethernet

Overview This paper presents the design and first experimental results of VTPE (Virtual Token-passing Ethernet). VTPE is a deterministic protocol for real-time applications based on shared Ethernet, aimed to be used either in small processing power processors or in powerful ones. It is based on implicit token rotation similar to the virtual token-passing used in the P-NET protocol. The VTPE implementation leads to reduced program code, thus fitting in small microcontrollers' memory and imposing low communication overhead.

Technologies that time forgot: 100VGAnyLan

It was called AnyLan because it would run both Ethernet and IBM's baby, Token Ring. It would, it followed, allow network managers to migrate to the cheaper Ethernet, without having to junk heir Token Ring installed base.

That syncs with the SDTimes report, which talks about Midori as an OS for the age in which computing resources can be either local or in the internet cloud and in which processing tasks can be split among multiple processors and multiple machines.

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.
