Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology provides a way of protecting information being transmitted over the Internet, by allowing users to establish a virtual private “tunnel” to securely enter an internal network, accessing resources, data and communications via an insecure network such as the Internet. A VPN is a communications environment in which access is controlled to permit peer connections only within a defined community of interest, and is constructed though some form of partitioning of a common underlying communications medium, where this underlying communications medium provides services to the network on a nonexclusive basis. arabic 6 English 50

This paper describes a proposal for FAT tree based Network-on- Chip system based on MPLS forwarding mechanism. The FAT tree includes processing nodes and communication switches. IP node (processing nodes) has a message generator unit which randomly generates messages to different destinations with different packet lengths and buffering. The switch is based on MPLS technique and consists of the following units: crossbar switch, input/output link controllers and routing and arbitration units. A simulator has been developed in C++ to analyze the proposed architecture. A comparison with wormhole switch is provided to show the efficiency of the MPLS designed switch arabic 12 English 65

Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a core networking technology that operates essentially in between Layers 2 and 3 of the OSI model; for this reason, MPLS has been referred to as operating at Layer 2.5. MPLS can overlay existing technologies such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) or Frame Relay, or it can operate in an entirely IP native environment; this can allow users to take advantage of existing Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) while making a move towards converging all network traffic, such as data, video and voice, at a pace that users can accommodate and afford. MPLS provides. its users a number of advantageous features such as traffic engineering, network convergence, failure protection, and the ability to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) over IP. arabic 2 English 27
