Advances in High-Performance Switching and Routing

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the forthcoming Special Issue on "Advances in High-Performance Switching and Routing".

This Special Issue is dedicated to showcasing cutting-edge research, highlighting the latest findings and addressing the ongoing challenges pertaining to high-performance switching and routing in next-generation networks and systems. In the face of escalating traffic demands, the imperative for high-performance switching and routing has never been greater. Effectively managing the burgeoning requirements for bandwidth and minimized latency in the realm of multimedia services and cloud computing applications, alongside the optimization of data center capabilities and enhancements in switching efficiency, underscores the critical challenges confronting today's digital landscape. As we navigate this terrain, achieving elevated energy efficiency in the realm of switching and routing equipment has emerged as an additional cornerstone in reshaping the future of the Internet.

The landscape of high-performance switching and routing is evolving rapidly, and this Special Issue seeks to capture the pulse of innovation in this dynamic field. We invite researchers, scholars, and practitioners to contribute their valuable insights to this discourse, fostering the development of smarter, more effective, and more resilient switching and routing capabilities.

Key topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

• Innovative paradigms in high-performance switching and routing;
• QoS (Quality of Service) enhancement strategies for next-generation networks;
• Scaling data center architectures for enhanced switching capabilities;
• Latency reduction techniques in multimedia and cloud environments;
• Energy-efficient designs for switching and routing;
• Novel algorithms for routing optimization in high-traffic scenarios.

We are privileged to have the honor of serving as Guest Editors for this Special Issue; we eagerly anticipate the diverse array of contributions that will enrich the conversation surrounding the advancement of high-performance switching and routing.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Computers is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
