A Fifty Gigabit Per Second IP Router
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aggressive research on gigabit per second networks has led to dramatic improvements in network transmission speeds. One result of these improvements has been to put pressure on router technology to keep pace. This paper describes a router, nearly completed, which is more than fast enough to keep up with the latest transmission technologies. The router has a backplane speed of 50 Gb/s and can forward tens of millions of packets per second.

10B-1 Routing Lookups in Hardware at Memory Access Speeds
Increased bandwidth in the Internet puts great demands on network routers; for example, to route minimum sized Gigabit Ethernet packets, an IP router must process about packets per second per port. Using the “rule-of-thumb” that it takes roughly 1000 packets per second for every 106 bits per second of line rate, an OC-192 line requires routing lookups per second; well above current router capab...

متن کاملAddress Lookup Solutions for Gigabit Switch/router
The Internet continuous growth and its widespread applications require adequate solutions for scaling routing performance. A number of approaches have been recently proposed by different vendors to prepare for the next generation Internet, and new router architectures, capable of processing millions of packets per second, are starting to appear. The efficient processing of IP addresses in such ...

Routers are key building blocks in networks. They need to cope with high data rates in the range of multiple gigabit per second that are owing through them. Therefore, speciically performance critical functions should be implemented in dedicated hardware units in order to speed up the forwarding task. These units can be embedded within regular workstations or into dedicated router architectures...
متن کاملIP Switching and Gigabit Routers
To cope with the growth in the Internet and corporate IP networks we require IP routers capable of much higher performance than is possible with existing architectures. This paper examines two approaches to the design of a high-performance router, the gigabit router and the IP switch, and then provides some detail on the implementation of an IP switch and the protocols associated with IP switch...
