An Approach Towards Enabling Intelligent Networking Services for Distributed Multimedia Applications
An increase in network speeds and addition of new services in the Internet
has increased the demand for intelligence and flexibility in network
systems. This paper explores the extent to which an emergent class of
programmable networking devices - network processors, can be used to deliver
more efficient, innovative services to multimedia applications. We present
and experimentally evaluate an architecture model, which enables the dynamic
creation of application-specific services on programmable communication
devices, using the Intel IXP2400 network processor and an image manipulation
application.
