SUMMARY:MOOSE: Boosting Ethernet's Scalability - Malcolm Scott (University

DESCRIPTION:Layer-2 technologies\, in particular Ethernet\, are increasing
 ly being used to create large-scale network infrastructures capable of sus
 taining many independent higher-layer (e.g. IP) networks.  However\, Ether
 net is showing its age: it scales poorly in several different aspects.  In
  this talklet I will outline some of Ethernet's failings\, and my work to 
 address one of these: the requirement for switches to learn and store the 
 location of every node on the network.  My modified Ethernet\, named MOOSE
 \, addresses this issue in a novel way which solves the problem more compl
 etely than previous attempts.
