SUMMARY:Time-Driven Switching: Principles and Implementation - Yury Adzevi
 ch\, University of Cambridge
DTSTART:20110218T160000Z

CONTACT:Simon Moore
DESCRIPTION:As the Internet traffic volume increases exponentially\, so do
 es the demand for fast packet switching between asynchronous network nodes
 . A large number of switching architectures is available on the market tod
 ay\, however\, the majority of them are either not scalable or reach their
  limits in power consumption and complexity. In this talk the Time-Driven 
 Switching architecture will be presented\, which provides a simple way to 
 achieve high scalability\, predictable performance as well as low power co
 nsumption by utilizing UTC-based pipeline forwarding.  Time-Driven Switchi
 ng prototype implementations will also be described which employ electroni
 c and optical off-the-shelf components.
