Open Source Routing in High-Speed Production Use
نویسندگان
چکیده
In almost 10 years we have used Open Source Routers in mission critical networking to bring Internet connectivity to many tens of thousands users. Needless to say Uppsala University is one of the largest universities in Sweden and it is a well-connected university. It is currently using four Gigabit (including two for its student network UpUnet-S) connections towards our ISP (SUNET), and a production for 10G connection is planned. Uptime for our users is close 100% due to the testing and verification efforts and also due to the redundancy of the dual access. This makes it possible to, without loss of connectivity, replace and upgrade core routers. Reporting this success does not mean it is without effort or simple. It requires skill and planning, and the network managers must understand issues like packet budget and bandwidth needs, and be able to match them to the used equipment/routers. It is also important to understand traffic patterns and routing protocols, and of course how to operate and monitor the routers.

Non-Blocking Routers Design Based on West First Routing Algorithm & MZI Switches for Photonic NoC
For the first time, the 4- and 5-port optical routers are designed by using the West First routing algorithm for use in optical network on chip. The use of the WF algorithm has made the designed routers to provide non-blocking routing in photonic network on chip. These routers not only are based on high speed Mach-Zehnder switches(Which have a higher bandwidth and more thermal tolerance than mi...

متن کاملA HYBRID ALGORITHM FOR THE OPEN VEHICLE ROUTING PROBLEM
The open vehicle routing problem (OVRP) is a variance of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) that has a unique character which is its open path form. This means that the vehicles are not required to return to the depot after completing service. Because this problem belongs to the NP-hard problems, many metaheuristic approaches like the ant colony optimization (ACO) have been used to solve OVRP in...
متن کاملA Fast Bypass Algorithm for High-Speed Networks
In this work we suggest an algorithm that increases the reservation success probability for bursty traac in high speed networks by adding exibility to the construction of the routes. The algorithm is simple enough to be implemented by cheap hardware. It causes no additional delay to packets that use the original route, and a very small delay to the packets that are rerouted. In addition, the pr...
