Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a flexible switch for constructing of next-generation layer-2 networks. The proposed switch can dynamically implement a new service and a new protocol. A wide-area layer-2 network will provide many kinds of services including end-to-end QoS guarantees, protection mechanisms, and performance monitoring. When new protocols are developed, it is necessary to compatible them with existing networks. Thus, a complicated network structure and complicated protocol processing are introduced into the network. By using the flexible switch, protocol developers can design it freely, and propose the best protocol. Moreover, the next generation layer-2 networks will be controlled by GMPLS (Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching). Then, by using the flexible switch, we implemented that the switch loads a necessary function to provide the requested services when a LSP (Label Switched Path) is established by RSVP-TE. In this implementation, we realized the dynamic construction of the switch processing and the establishment of the LSP that adapted the services.
