Major features of the Crossbow project include:

  • Virtual NIC (VNIC) pseudo-network interface technology
  • Exclusive IP zones
  • Bandwidth management and flow control on a per interface and per VNIC basis

Famous quotes containing the words open, network, resource and/or control:

    Rain falls into the open eyes of the dead
    Again again with its pointless sound
    When the moon finds them they are the color of everything
    William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)

    Of what use, however, is a general certainty that an insect will not walk with his head hindmost, when what you need to know is the play of inward stimulus that sends him hither and thither in a network of possible paths?
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Your kind doesn’t just kill men. You murder their spirits, you strangle their last breath of hope and freedom, so that you, the chosen few, can rule your slaves in ease and luxury. You’re a sadist just like the others, Heiser, with no resource but violence and no feeling but fear, the kind you’re feeling now. You’re drowning, Heiser, drowning in the ocean of blood around this barren little island you call the New Order.
    Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)

    I am the center of the world, but the control panel seems to be somewhere else.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
