Abstract

A clear target for computer communication technology is to support a high performance global network. The implementation bottleneck of high performance network is the operation of nodes not the bandwidth. There are some disadvantages at the process of forwarding packet both in IP and ATM networking architecture. This paper describes a hierarchical networking architecture based on new switching address. It makes source routing the basis for interconnection, rather than an option as in IP. This architecture requires node neither table lookup nor header re-writing, and only operation is to strip off part of switching address. Its benefits include simple switching with low packet processing and delay, and scalability to a global network with no address starvation problem.
