Flexible arrays of inexpensive network (FAIN): toward global parallelism in the internet to satisfy future traffic growth

Published: 09 December 2008 Publication History

Abstract

In this study, we present the flexible arrays of inexpensive network (FAIN) architecture: it can be used to maximize parallelism in network systems in order to satisfy future Internet traffic growth. Although the "parallel-in-global" approach used in FAIN overcomes a constraints of serial interfaces, the performance of applications with s small stream can be preserved. FAIN provides thousand of isolated virtualized slices, and enables incremental extensions in the capacity of router systems. FAIN also provides multiple level subscriber differentiation, and power consumption optimization according to the traffic.
