The Phoebus project seeks to encourage a paradigm shift
in the way traditional edge and backbone networks are
utilized in order to improve end-to-end throughput over
long distances. By augmenting the current Internet
model with an additional service layer, Phoebus embeds
``intelligence'' in the network that allows a connection
to become articulated and adapt to the environment on a
segment by segment basis. The system includes a
protocol and software infrastructure that addresses many
of the fundamental issues in long distance data movement
and allows the Internet infrastructure to evolve.
- Allows existing applications to utilize dynamic
circuit allocation with no changes.
- Allows adaptation to segment-specific transport
protocols.
- Automatically improves end-to-end performance
without extensive host tuning.
