Abstract :
The Clara prototype architecture collocates routing and computational functionality within a network, providing a scalable, high-performance computing switch router for computational services. Multiple off-the-shelf PCs provide Clara with computational power to, for example, perform real-time transcoding of video with minimal overhead
