Surviving the IPocalypse: IPv6, Linux, and You

Everyone who has a presence on the web is going to be forced to more about IPv6 in the coming years. Get ahead of the curve! Quick, grab your smartphone, e-reader, computer and family (in that order), pack some supplies, and head for the hills! (except in Kansas, which is too flat.) The Internet as we currently know it is coming to an end! We're running out of host addresses! In a matter of months, not decades they will all be used up. Are you prepared for the single biggest network event since broadband? Say goodbye to your old friends like 209.85.225.99 and hello to 2001:4860:b007::6a (google.com). The existing IP version 4 numbering system with 32-bit addresses is nearly exhausted. In 2013, the last one will be gone. History! But, there is hope of rescue. It's not the cavalry, it's the Internet protocol version 6, with new-fangled 128-bit addresses, and it will impact every networked digital device, router and service you use. What does this all mean?

SCARAB: A Single Cycle Adaptive Routing and Bufferless Network / Light Speed Arbitration and Flow Control for Nanophotonic Interconnects

Mitch Hayenga: "SCARAB: A Single Cycle Adaptive Routing and Bufferless Network"

Recent research has proposed bufferless routers as a means to alleviate the power and area constraints for on-chip networks. To date all designs exhibit poor operational frequency, throughput, or latency. In this paper, we propose an efficient bufferless router which lowers average packet latency by 17.6% and dynamic energy by 18.3% over existing bufferless on-chip network designs.
