Treffer: Parallel Processing System for Communication Control.

This paper proposes a parallel processing system dedicated to communication control. The proposed parallel-processing communication-control system contains seven kinds of parallelisms--two reflecting the hierarchical and multiple structures of the communication links, and five reflecting the mutual relations among functions realizing the link control processings. The system efficiently realizes high-performance communication control processings. This paper outlines the system structure, derives the system including the modelling of the communication control processings, and discusses the problems in implementation. By using the communication control device based on the system, it becomes easy to construct economically a large-scale data-communication network system. The proposed scheme also realizes a new network service based on high-speed communication links. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
