The system we have been developingattempts to become universal, i.e. independent, to a maximum extent,of the producers of particular network devices. Ideally, this effort would meanthe implementation of mechanisms according to the related RFC documents orpertinent IETF recommendations.Unfortunately, the reality is different and the global tendency towards unificationand standardization in this area is relatively low and so we are forced to accommodatethis and pursue a higher level of general abstraction on one hand,and particular and targeted support for specific devices on the other hand. Thefinal architecture is likely to result in a general universal skeleton and a numberof specific drivers for individual products with a permanently reducing shareof generally applicable mechanisms. This will be the direction of our strategyin 2003.High-speed National Research Network and its New Applications 200235
