摘要:We describe the Circuit Reservation Software (CRS) developed by the ESLEA Project. Switchedcircuit
networks can offer improved performance over conventional packet-switched networks
for applications with some demanding types of network requirements. However, if switchedcircuit
networks are used to connect scarce and expensive resources, such as supercomputers,
then advanced reservations or bookings of circuits are necessary if the resources and networks are
all to be used efficiently. We describe and discuss the CRS, a demonstrator system for making
such advanced bookings.
