NYI: Routing Protocols and Mechanisms for Tolerating Failures in High-Speed Networks

本项目研究分布式网络中允许和路由呼叫的协议，以及这些网络中容忍故障的协议。其目标是了解如何最好地利用高速网络技术（如ATM）来支持并行超级计算，并推进NII（国家信息基础设施）计划。在超级计算领域，它寻求开发既实用又可证明有效的网络结构、路由算法和容错机制。在NII领域，它是分析简单算法的行为，包括贪婪算法，在广域综合业务网络中接收呼叫。

This project studies protocols for admitting and routing calls in distributed networks, and for tolerating failures in these networks. Its goal is to understand how to best use high-speed networking technology, such as ATM, to support parallel supercomputing, and to advance the NII (National Information Infrastructure) initiative. In the supercomputing domain, it seeks to develop network structures, routing algorithms, and mechanisms for tolerating faults that are both practical and provably effective. In the realm of the NII, it is analyzing the behavior of simple algorithms, including greedy algorithms, for admitting calls in wide-area integrated-service networks.
