Network Processor Load Balancing for High-Speed Links

Tags:
load balancing

Overview While transmission rates already achieve speeds beyond 40 Gb/s, today's network processors are only slowly approaching 10 Gb/s. This paper presents a load-balancing scheme that enables system designers to bridge the performance gap using multiple slower NPs in parallel to serve high-speed links. The proposed scheme works in a flow-preserving manner to ensure in-sequence packet delivery as well as local validity of connection state information, while avoiding inter-processor communication. The effectiveness of the algorithms is evaluated by simulation with extrapolated workloads, and the impact of specific parameters on system performance is the subject of a factor-relevance analysis.

Rural broadband rollout hits roadblock

Clearly it's not an easy process, and there's more opportunity for potential customers to 'fall through the gap', perhaps because they change their mind or spend the money on something else. Yorkshire market town Knaresborough has fallen foul of BT...

Wi-Fi Cloud could be silver lining for rural broadband

In many parts of the UK, activists are keen to set up high-speed wireless networks to serve those who cannot get broadband. Many of these Wi-Fi hot spots will be based in pubs, as Inspired Broadcast Networks is planning to connect its wireless...

WiMax comes to Westminster

It is starting slowly, though - its first base-station will be installed in Westminster next week, and it believes it will need just three base stations to serve businesses in the Westminster area. Urban WiMax will operate in the 5.8GHz band, which...

High speed TGV trains get online

The system automatically switches to the wi-fi terminals - with a transmission range tweaked to cope with the high speeds - when the antenna on the train loses its line of sight with the Eutelsat satellite.

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?
