An Ultra-Low-Latency Guaranteed-Rate Internet for Cloud Services.

An Enhanced-Internet network that provides ultra-low-latency guaranteed-rate (GR) communications for Cloud Services is proposed. The network supports two traffic classes, the Smooth and Best-Effort classes. Smooth traffic flows receive low-jitter GR service over virtual-circuit-switched (VCS) connections with negligible buffering and queueing delays, up to 100% link utilizations, deterministic end...
