DARPA Adaptive amd Reflective Middleware Systems (ARMS) Program: Phase I. Pervasive Instrumentation and Adaptation for Distributed Real-Time Embedded Systems: Final Technical Report

摘要

This is the final technical report on the Adaptive and Reflective Middleware Systems (ARMS) Phase I work by a team lead by Telcordia. Our focus in the ARMS program is in the development of an adaptive and reflective network Quality of Service (QoS) infrastructure for the Total Ship Computing Environment (TSCE) of next generation surface ships. Our technology uses a Bandwidth Broker to provide admission control, and leverages Differentiated Services and Class of Service functionality of high-end routers and switches for enforcement. The technology employs an integrated QoS treatment across a hybrid layer-2/layer-3 network and adapts to changes in mission requirements, work load, and configurations. This report discusses architecture, implementation, and validation aspects of the network QoS technology developed and lessons learned.
