We present the NBA framework, which extends the architecture of the Click modular router to exploit modern hardware, adapts to different hardware configurations, and reaches close to their maximum performance without manual optimization. NBA takes advantages of existing performance-excavating solutions such as batch processing, NUMA-aware memory management, and receive-side scaling with multi-queue network cards. Its abstraction resembles Click but also hides the details of architecture-specific

The Click modular router has been one of the most popular software router platforms for rapid prototyping and new protocol development. Unfortunately, its internal architecture has not caught up with recent hardware advancements, and the performance remains sub-optimal in high-speed networks despite its benefit of flexible module composition.

This paper examines recent incidences of 'economic patriotism' to determine whether this new wave of protectionism against foreign ownership represents a new breed of mercantilist fervor or a reincarnation of protectionism from years past. By placing the examples in their socioeconomic and historical context, the paper analyzes the future of economic nationalism within the world economy and the global trade system. This paper predicts that the current round of ownership protectionism will remain

Abstract This book provides an introduction to more than 140 arbitral cases and commentaries in Korea. It introduces the arbitration community to the jurisprudence and scholarship of this underappreciated but well-developed jurisdiction. The book encompasses all the major current and historical arbitration cases in Korea, alongside practical and scholarly commentary. In keeping with the growth of international arbitration in Asia, Korea is emerging as an alternative centre of arbitration, and th

At the end of 1999, one of the largest conglomerates in the world, the Daewoo Group, collapsed in a spectacular fashion. During its peak, Daewoo was a sprawling enterprise with over 320,000 employees with 590 subsidiaries overseas that operated in over 110 countries. Its management received widespread praise and academic recognition for its success. Yet, when the Asian financial crisis hit in 1997, it managed to commit a deception worth 22.9 trillion won ($15.3 billion) that was termed the "bigg

Corporate law in Korea has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years. In an effort to revamp Korean corporations, the Korean government made sweeping reforms to Korea's Commercial Code (sang-bup) three times in the past four years -- in 1995, 1998, and 1999. These newly amended provisions have set in motion unprecedented changes for the Korean corporate environment. Korean management is finally beginning to be monitored and challenged in a more meaningful manner, while at the same time

This article seeks to explore whether East Asia countries can complete a transition from “fast followers” of emulating leading jurisdictions and institutions in the world to join the ranks of “first movers” that lead the development of new arbitration innovation and reforms. It first examines how the use of international arbitration practice has expanded in the region. Despite the breadth and diversity of countries, the article focuses on the top five jurisdictions in the region that are respons

As one of the world’s most resource dependent countries, Korea has been trying to utilize a proactive resource policy to obtain energy, food and minerals from overseas resource providers. Government-owned and government-controlled enterprises largely in consortium with private sector companies have become key actors in this process. From passively purchasing resources through the marketplace, they have instead begun to pursue direct ownership, development and investment arrangements, leading to

Abstract This paper will focus on the role that the judiciary has played in improving public sector governance in Korea. It will argue that the increased level of enforcement has become a cornerstone for the consolidation of rule of law and good governance. The paper will concentrate particularly on enforcement through the level of judicial sentencing against senior public officials who have committed violations in two areas: campaign financing and election laws, and anti-corruption laws. The pa

Over the past two decades, Korea has aggressively concluded a vast range of international investment agreements (IIAs) in the form of free trade agreements (FTAs) or bilateral investment treaties (BITs). Tracing how Korea&s;s investment treaties have evolved over the years is significant also for other emerging countries, particularly given Korea&s;s rapid economic development and transition from primarily a net capital importer to a capital exporter. An analysis of the major transformations in
