Network Communication
Published in Jerry C. Whitaker, Microelectronics, 2018
The delivery of data packets to destination addresses across multiple LANs, and perhaps over wide area network links, is the responsibility of a class of internetworking devices known as routers. Routers are primarily employed for the following reasons: To build large hierarchical networks. Routers are used to create the backbone network itself.To take part in or gain access to a larger hierarchical network such as the Internet.
Photonic Network
Published in Naoaki Yamanaka, High-Performance Backbone Network Technology, 2020
The backbone network is a broadband information transfer network that connects all the local networks. The backbone network architecture is simplified and dedicated to simple point-to-point connections because of cost effectiveness and reliability. The capacity needed to carry all the traffic among local networks must be very large. The wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) optical path technology will be indispensable for realizing such high capacity easily and flexibly [5]. The ATM switching technology will be also used for flexible division of the optical path bandwidth to support many links between local networks [6], [7].
In-network caching in information-centric networks for different applications: A survey
Published in Cogent Engineering, 2023
Since the Internet was formed and designed in the 1960s, it has played a more prominent role in people’s life. So far, the vast majority of content usages in the current Internet is distributed from a source to several/many users (like multicast) both disseminating multi-media file from producers (e.g., Netflix, IPTV, Web, etc.) and sharing generated data from users (e.g., social networking Facebook, Weibo, YouTube, Youku, etc.). Along with the rapidly growing the number of users and demand service providers, the backbone network is improved by deploying a large number of routers, high-speed transmission, and private network systems for more efficient data delivery (Gill et al., 2008).
