In next generation networks we assume a somewhat greater level of conjestion under high traffic rate conditions, combined with a requirement for more preserved state, to accomodate a higher level of complexity overall.

The basic idea for our preliminary research is to allow all dynamic delay sensitive processes to be parallelized, as much as possible, to accomodate a potential increase in activity not handled by custom integrated circuits.

Our preliminary model uses "micro-handler tree structures" which are are tied together by a distributed message system.

From preliminary estimates the new router prototype will apparently be able to facilitate millions of high performance communication sessions concurrently, with minimal delay.
