The Design and Research of Cluster Router Based on ForCES Protocol
Cluster router is the trend of router development in the future, it enables every router in cluster to cooperate with each other very well. Besides, it  greatly expands the capacity of router, and makes the network topology and routing strategies become simple and clear. This paper proposed a architecture based on Forwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES) cluster, including control module and forwarding module, they are composed of a large number of PCs. The architecture solved the problem of the dynamic service deployment of Logical Function Block (LFB) model and so on, which is an evidence of improving the performance of the existing router by achieving the forwarding model.
