ABSTRACT
IP networks today require massive effort to configure and man-
age. Ethernet is vastly simpler to manage, but does not scale be-
yond small local area networks. This paper describes an alterna-
tive network architecture called SEATTLE that achieves the best
of both worlds: The scalability of IP combined with the simplicity
