A mechanism of application-network interactions in a high-speed optical network
Abstract
In a high speed network, application-network interactions are considerations of paramount importance for service responsiveness. The CARRIOCAS project aims to study the high-speed networking features needed to support distributed applications in an operator network. These features will be implemented later. The outcome of this project will be a pilot network for industrial applications used as a grid infrastructure. We propose a mechanism for the introduction of application data in the network which respects the CARRIOCAS architecture. Using simulations, we study the system performance for applications demanding the quality of service in terms of latency and data loss. Our results show that a centralized control of application-network applications is efficient for small and fast networks.
