Abstract

What is the secret of a fast-responding network? The ideal network will anticipate the communication needs of all nodes, building the necessary paths proactively. Unfortunately, this level of intelligence is not possible today. A brute-force approach, whereby the network continuously maintains all possible paths among all nodes, is also not a viable proposition because networks are far too vast and dynamic. This chapter explores strategies to reduce the impact of signaling in proactive routing. Through this exercise, we find that a fast network is one that can adaptively switch between “proactive” and “reactive” modes.

The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa W. Heisenberg, Uncertainty Paper, 1927
