UETS/EFR: The Next-Generation Ethernet-Only Network

摘要

Nowadays, everyone agrees that the future is "everything IP." However, we should ask ourselves whether the future of the networks might be "everything Ethernet." UETS is a datagram network architecture that combines the advantage of circuits, the flexibility of datagram packet switching, the resilience of micro-routing, the physical speed and scalability of ATM switches, and the control capabilities of Layer 2 protocols.rnThe key is the new node concept (CUE), which can use the EFR technique, which switches Ethernet frames using local MAC addresses.
