A Demonstration of a Flexible Network Architecture

In order to test and demonstrate some key ideas of the FlxeiNet project, a demonstrator of a surveillance camera system has been implemented. This document describes the design and implementation of the demonstrator. At first it introduces several key technologies for implementing a flexible network architecture: switchlet, open signaling, open switching, virtual network, QoS based routing, and group-based connection control,. Then it describes how these technologies are used in the demonstrator. Although it is impossible to get the performance statistics from the demonstrator because of the nature of simulation, the flexibility of the architecture has been clearly shown.
