Abstract

This paper surveys a novel switching architecture for high-speed networks: Isochronets. Isochronets use the new Route Division Multiple Access (RDMA) switching technique that divides network bandwidth among routing trees. Frame motions need not be delayed at intermediate switches for processing, allowing Isochronets to scale over a large spectrum of transmission speeds and support all-optical implementations. The network functions as a media-access layer that can support multiple framing protocols simultaneously, handled by higher layers at the periphery. Isochronets can provide flexible quality of service control and multicasting through allocation of bands to routing trees.
