ibp: IBP (Internet Backplane Protocol) ibp: ibp: The Internet Backplane Protocol (IBP) is middleware for managing and ibp: using remote storage. It was invented to support Logistical Networking ibp: in large scale, distributed systems and applications. We define ibp: logistical networking as the global scheduling and optimization of ibp: data movement, storage and computation based on a model that takes ibp: into account all the network's underlying physical resources.
