Imminent Content Switch (ICS)

 

The imminent Content Switch (ICS) is a next-generation intelligent application platform built for distributing and delivering content to a variety of users. ICS moves beyond existing web switching and content delivery products and provides a Layer 2-7 framework for building key content delivery services. It was multi-disciplinary and combined proprietary hardware, firmware, common software, and applications. In this project, I served as a team lead and led the architectural design of QoS subsystem and Packet Tracking and Monitoring (PTM) subsystem for ICS. We designed a complete infrastructure to support QoS for value-added services from Layer 2-7, and designed a Packet Tracking and Monitoring subsystem to support high-speed data tracking, statistics monitoring for service verification, and detailed data records for flexible data and content billing.
