Modelling ip router architecture using system dynamics
(2009-04-01)
Abdul Ghani, Nordina
In a rising environment of high performance IP networks, it is expected that local and campus area backbones, enterprise networks, and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will use multigigabit and terabit networking technologies where IP routers will be used not only to interconnect backbone segments but also to act as points of attachments to high performance wide area links. Special attention must be given to new powerful architectures for routers in order to play that demanding role. This project identifies important trends in the IP Router Architecture. However, I have made analysis of the first generation IP Router Architectures involving Bus-Based Router Architectures with Single Processor. I have also outlined some design issues facing the next generation of routers. It is also observed that the achievement of high throughput IP routers is possible if the critical tasks are identified by using Vensim® PLE and special purpose modules are properly tailored to perform them.
