After comparing and analyzing, it concluded that the ultimate realization of network storage will be in the eventual convergence of NAS and SAN architectures. Currently, all the integration methods are based on the architecture level. This paper presented a device level integration scheme based on IXP1200 network processor. The device can be used as an NAS file server or an SAN’s storage node. Furthermore, it can be used as a bridge to connect NAS and SAN, and then be shared by their clients.展开更多

To overcome the drawbacks from FC, we employ iSCSI to implement the USN( Unified Storage Network) . To evaluate whether iSCSI is more suitable for implementing the USN, we analyze iSCSI protocol and compare it with FC protocol from several components of a network protocol which impact the performance of the network. From the analysis and comparison, we can conclude that the iSCSI is more suitable for implementing the storage network than the FC under condition of the wide-area network. At last, we designed two groups of experiments carefully.展开更多

This paper presents the efficient design and implementation of fast Frouier transform （FFT） and inverse fast Frouier transform （IFFT） for the application in IEEE 802. 16d orthogoual frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） system. In this design, a novel pipeline structure for the branch of butterfly unit （BU） is proposed, which can improve the processing symbol rate by adding the number of branch flexibly. The symmetrical ping-pang structure of random access memory （RAM） is performed to increase the system throughput. Simulation results reveal that only with 1 branch of BU, the proposed FFF/IFFT design can almost achieve the maximum bandwidth requirement of IEEE 802. 16d OFDM system. And this design has been verified by FPGA and successfully implemented in the prototype of WiMAX transceiver.展开更多
