This paper introduces the Axon, a network device that employs source-routed Ethernet to improve the scalability of local-area networks. Axons provide transparent compatibility with unmodified hosts, which see the network as a single switched Ethernet segment. Prototypes of the Axon have been implemented on the NetFPGA platform and used to demonstrate the performance and backwards compatibility ...

Why Ethernet? Due to the worldwide deployment of Ethernet in office environments, there is increasing demand for using this technology for networking time-critical embedded applications, too. Seamless transparent communication from within the application to the outside world, based on one single standard, device availability and familiarity with this technology are the main advantages. However,...

This paper evaluates the real-time distribution of data over Ethernet for upgraded LHCb acquisition cluster at CERN. The system commissioning ends in 2021 and its total estimated input throughput is 32 Terabits per second. After events are assembled, they must be distributed further selection to filtering farm online trigger. High-throughput very low overhead transmissions will an essential fea...

We are developing a new readout board with newer generation field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and the 10-gigabit ethernet to improve performance usability of current based on 1-gigabit ethernet. In this board, SiTCP-XG network processor supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet was implemented. SiTCP is circuit running FPGA, newly developed version that supports Before we constructed prototype system u...

Since its conception by Xerox in the mid-1970s and standardization as IEEE 802.3 in 1983, Ethernet has become the de facto standard for computer communication in the business world. Ethernet networks have evolved from coaxial cable-based systems delivering 3-Mbps performance to systems built from unshielded twisted pair (Cat5 UTP) cables that deliver high reliability, low cost, and 100-Mbps per...

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. This memo obsoletes RFC 1650 "Definitions of Managed Objects for the Ethernet-like Interface Types using SMIv2". This memo extends that specification by including management information useful for the management of 100 Mb/s Ethernet interfaces. Ethernet techn...

The Internet is increasingly being called upon to provide di erent levels of service to di erent applications and users. A practical problem in doing so is that although Ethernet is one of the hops for nearly all communication in the Internet, it does not provide any QoS guarantees. A natural question, therefore, is the effect of o ered load on Ethernet throughput and delay. In this paper, we p...

The implementation of protocol P on a sending host S decides, through protocol P’s routing mechanism, that it wants to transmit to a target host T located some place on a connected piece of 10Mbit Ethernet cable. To actually transmit the Ethernet packet a 48.bit Ethernet address must be generated. The addresses of hosts within protocol P are not always compatible with the corresponding Ethernet...

Ethernet is becoming the de facto standard networking technology for a vast area of application domains, including industrial and factory automation systems, computerized machinery and cars. Many of these applications have specific requirements, namely in terms of temporal determinism, that cannot be efficiently fulfilled by Common Off-the-Shelf Ethernet technology. This scenario motivated the ...

i ABSTRACT Ethernet switching is provided to interconnect multiple Ethernets for the exchange of Ethernet data frames. Most Ethernet switches require data buffering and Ethernet signal regeneration at the switch which incur the problems of substantial signal processing, power consumption, and transmission delay. To solve these problems, a cross bar architecture switching system for 10GBASE-T Et...
