New algorithm set to improve router efficiency | | 2008/08/21 | | A new algorithm developed by a group of computer scientists in the US could bring an end to the router slowdown on large networks.
Created by a group of four researchers at the University of California at San Diego, the algorithm automatically limits the number of link-state updates a router receives.
This could in turn improve website monitoring services effeciency while safeguarding against network failures and slowdowns at large companies.
Developer Professor Stephan Savage presented the new Approximate Link State (XL) algorithm at the Association for Computing Machinery's conference.
"Updates may only be relevant to very localised areas," he told attendees.
He went on to explain that the XL router automatically sorts out where updates are required to prevent loops from occurring that are often responsible for slowing down an entire network.
Meanwhile, in an article by Jeff Aaron for Sci-Tech today, it has been suggested that recovery data lost through downtime can be made more cost effective by creating a virtual server environment.
