Abstract;Our terabit-class super-networking architecture is designed to improve both the performance and scalability of a network used by a service provider to offer Internet protocol virtual private network services. Specifically, we aim to achieve terabit-class performance among a thousand provider edge routers. To do this, we deploy IP-in-IPv6 overlay networking, cut-through optical path control, and cut-through IP forwarding, working together in cooperation. High scalability is achieved by retaining reachability in a connectionless manner and high performance is achieved by assigning cut-through forwarding resources according to traffic demands. As a result, this architecture achieves our objectives economically. (author abst.)
