The ESLEA Circuit Reservation Software
Clive Davenhall, Peter Clarke, Lihao Liang, Nicola Pezzi · 2007
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.
