VIBRANT RECONSTRUCTION IN POLY-HOP SWITCHED ETHERNET NETWORKS

C A KANNADASAN

Abstract


The FTT-SE protocol provides adaptive concurrent communication on Ethernet networks. To promise a continued concurrent behavior, FTT-SE integrates admission control with a quality-of-service mechanism, which screens all adaptation and reconstruction requests, accepting only those that do not compromise the system timeliness. The adaptability and reconfigurability have been deeply studied in the case of single switch FTT- SE architectures, whereas the extension of that for the poly- hop FTT-SE architecture was not yet investigated. Therefore, in this paper we study the challenges of enabling vibrant reconstruction in poly-hop FTT-SE networks, we put forward two methods (one centralized and one distributed) and we present a qualitative evaluation between them.
