The problem requires no changes to the IPv4/6 protocols to work. What is required is a hardware based subchannel utilization framework that acts like a distributed and self-contained but expanding management network.
Similar to the ISL (Inter Switch Link) technology mentioned above. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/lan-switching/8021q/17056-741-4.html A "software defined network" as per VMWare or Cisco: http://www.vmware.com/se/products/nsx/ http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/cloud-systems-management/extensible-network-controller-xnc/white-paper-c11-729757.html is not appropiate technology as these only replace hardware in a virtualized local stack. .Alex 2014-09-12 5:33 GMT+02:00 Rik <[email protected]>: > On 2014-09-12 00:01, Matthew Lohbihler wrote: > > I think this would be a very interesting problem to work on.
