Internet Routers: Architecture, Trends and Directions

Arif Shouqi, IOS Technology Group, Cisco

Thursday 23rd February 2006 at 19:30

Palmer Building, Whiteknights Campus, The University of Reading

Light refreshments available from 19:00-19:30

With traffic over the internet predicted to grow fourfold over the
next three years, and with growing demand from service providers to
roll out business-enabling features, router designers are faced with
conflicting requirements of massive scales with more flexibility,
higher performance while retaining simplicity of management and
increasing complexity with high-availability. In this talk, I propose
to take you through basic router architecture and on to emerging
trends in routing, and discuss how networking devices are changing to
cope with these conflicting requirements.

If you want to know more, come along. All are welcome and no ticket is
required. Simply turn up on the night. For more details please contact
Dr Richard Mitchell at rjmitchell@iee.org, or 0118 378 6790

Directions: Enter the University at the main entrance from the A327
Shinfield Road. Follow the road until until it bends right, when you
turn left and almost immediately right. Go straight on when the road
goes to the left and park adjacent to the Palmer Building. See also
