Networking: High fliers

Fliers as Stagnation Knots in Planetary Nebulaew

Towards High-Performance Active Networking

Network processors have been developed to ease the implementation of new network protocols in high-speed routers. Being embedded in network interface cards, they enable extended packet processing at link speed as is required, for instance, for active network nodes. Active network nodes start using network processors for extended packet processing close to the link. The control and configuration...

High-performance application-specific networking

Experience with parallel and distributed systems has shown that different application domains require different communication models in order to perform efficiently and be programmed conveniently [37, 57, 60]. Unfortunately, programmers traditionally have had to choose between inflexible but efficient inkernel protocols and flexible but inefficient user-level protocols. This thesis presents app...

FLIERs as stagnation knots from partially collimated outflows

We propose a new model for the formation of fast, lowionization emission regions (FLIERs) in planetary nebulae that is able to account for many of their attendant characteristics and circumvent the problems on the collimation/formation mechanisms found in previous studies. In this model, FLIERs are formed in the stagnation zone of partially collimated stellar winds with reduced momentum flow al...
