- A VLAN Ethernet Backplane for Distributed Network Systems
- In a network system, such as a router or a switch, it is difficult to achieve flexibility and performance at the same time. This paper proposes an architecture that consists of network processors for packet processing and a VLAN-based Ethernet backplane for switching. This allows to use flexible network processors...

- Dynamic Issues in MPLS Service Restoration
- Packet loss and reordering are the most significant negative effects resulting from protection switching. In conventional MPLS networks, the detection and retransmission of out-of-order or lost packets is left to the higher layers, which in effect, degrades the overall performance. This paper proposes a signaling mechanism to minimize the impact...

- Scalable Ethernet Using VLAN Stacking
- Thanks to the recent standardisation of long-range, high-bandwidth Ethernet interfaces, Ethernet can now be used in metropolitan networks. It can be said that Ethernet now offers the same bandwidth and range as traditional WAN technologies. However, adapted interfaces alone do not turn Ethernet into a WAN technology. A carrier-class network...
