TL;DR: Narada as discussed by the authors is an alternative architecture for end-to-end multicast, where end systems implement all multicast related functionality including membership management and packet replication, and self-organize into an overlay structure using a fully distributed protocol.
Abstract: The conventional wisdom has been that Internet protocol (IP) is the natural protocol layer for implementing multicast related functionality. However, more than a decade after its initial proposal, IP multicast is still plagued with concerns pertaining to scalability, network management, deployment, and support for higher layer functionality such as error, flow, and congestion control. We explore an alternative architecture that we term end system multicast, where end systems implement all multicast related functionality including membership management and packet replication. This shifting of multicast support from routers to end systems has the potential to address most problems associated with IP multicast. However, the key concern is the performance penalty associated with such a model. In particular, end system multicast introduces duplicate packets on physical links and incurs larger end-to-end delays than IP multicast. We study these performance concerns in the context of the Narada protocol. In Narada, end systems self-organize into an overlay structure using a fully distributed protocol. Further, end systems attempt to optimize the efficiency of the overlay by adapting to network dynamics and by considering application level performance. We present details of Narada and evaluate it using both simulation and Internet experiments. Our results indicate that the performance penalties are low both from the application and the network perspectives. We believe the potential benefits of transferring multicast functionality from end systems to routers significantly outweigh the performance penalty incurred.

TL;DR: Two approaches to the design of a high-performance router, the gigabit router and the IP switch are examined, and some detail on the implementation of an IP switch and the protocols associated with IP switching is provided.
Abstract: To cope with the growth in the Internet and corporate IP networks, we require IP routers capable of much higher performance than is possible with existing architectures. This article examines two approaches to the design of a high-performance router, the gigabit router and the IP switch, and then provides some detail on the implementation of an IP switch and the protocols associated with IP switching.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for congestion management in a frame relay network, where a virtual channel associated with a frame (39) to be transferred is determined, and when the result of the comparison falls outside a predetermined value range, the frame is discarded.
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for congestion management in a frame relay network. In the method, a virtual channel associated with a frame (39) to be transferred is determined. In order to provide a congestion management method which is reliable and capable of rapid responding and which allows event virtual connections to be prioritized with respect to the throughput probability, (a) at least some of the virtual channels are assigned a respective service level; (b) a congestion level having values in a predetermined relationship to the values of the service levels is determined for a network resource (15) liable to congestion; (c) the value representing the service level of the virtual channel of the FR frame (39) is compared with the value representing the congestion level of said resource; and (d) when the result of the comparison falls outside a predetermined value range, the frame (39) is discarded.
