A Well Modularized Computer Network Architecture

Abstract

By analyzing a variety of computer network architectures, we can find that researchers establish different computer network models from their different starting points and get different computer network architectures by different modularization methods. We establish a well modularized non-layered computer network architecture. This paper compares it with the layered architecture and obtains a conclusion that it is superior to the layered architecture. We have developed two framework prototypes of it. In the one of them we develop some application softwares of TCP/IP, including E-mail, FTP, Web and standard IP telephone, which have been tested by the third-party. It could show the accuracy and easily implemented property of this architecture.
