With the development of technology, the speed, attack resistance and efficiency of routers have become increasingly higher, but the basic structure of the router, monolithic circuit, has never changed. The monolithic circuit structure uses a single processor to perform all routing calculations. This structure has become a bottleneck in the system. One of the feasible solutions to this problem is multi-router technology.
Multi-routing technology can serve multiple users simultaneously on a physical router, that is, use a physical router to complete the functions of multiple routers, and the operation of these routers is autonomous, independent and controllable.
Traditional routers use a centralized computing structure and use a single processor to run routing computing, error handling and router management functions. However, generally at the edge of the network, the number of users is concentrated and the number of services is very large, so the router's routing processing capabilities are very high. However, due to structural limitations of monolithic circuit routers cannot effectively expand their processing capabilities. Multi-routing technology allows multiple routers to operate and coexist independently on a single device, and allows the combined use of multiple routing protocols on a separate routing engine.
Multi-routing technology generally uses separate, redundant multigigabit data forwarding and fiber optic technology to ensure system elasticity and scalability. Multi-routing technology distributes the system's routing processing capabilities, memory and other hardware resources to each router for dedicated purpose, so that each router can run its own protocols, policies and security functions independently, maintain its own separate routing and forwarding, and ensure that each company user or service provider is independent of each other. Since multi-routing technology uses a distributed dedicated routing processing engine, the system's processing power can be expanded linearly with the increase of ports.
Multi-routing technology can attach any port to the dedicated resources of any router in the system. This flexible port allocation capability gives service providers more choices when renting bandwidth, ports and resources, and also allows service providers to better optimize the routing system structure and their ability to allocate routes according to ports.
For multi-routing technology that runs multiple routing environments simultaneously, multi-layer management functions are very important. Multi-tier management can provide separate viewing and control capabilities for router owners and users. The service provider provides each user with a single separate router and resources associated with it, such as memory, bandwidth and I/O. Router users have autonomous control and complete management capabilities, and users can configure and manage routers according to required protocols, access controls and other features.
Multi-routing technology opens the door to some important new telecommunications and enterprise applications, including: optimization and compression of network edges, routing as an application, and the creation of real private network RPNs. Because multi-routing systems support the independent coexistence of multiple routing environments, providing physical routers to service providers as a service has also become a feasible solution. Such services can significantly reduce capital input and operation costs and speed up service providers to follow up with the market. For enterprise users, multi-routing technology enables them to build true private network RPNs. RPN enables telecommunications companies to provide each company with their own physically separate routers and dedicated lines at the price of a virtual network. Businesses don’t have to sacrifice their control, privacy or performance to save money.
Allegro Systems' Multirouter System solution, which has been acquired by Cisco, saves businesses the cost of purchasing and maintaining large routers at the edge of the network, allowing customers to meet their functional needs by configuring and managing routers rented from the carrier.
Lucent and CoSine use a similar solution - "virtual router" to achieve the same purpose as multirouter technology, so that a physical router of the company forms multiple private networks. Article entry: csh Editor in charge: csh
