流派:另類搖滾/Alternative Rock 獨立搖滾/Indie Rock在SLSK里意外發現的真實存在的那支地下樂隊Metric2005最新的專輯《Live it out》。據說樂隊是由多倫多藝術大學學生Emily Haines(女主唱)與擁有茱莉亞音樂學院古典音樂背景的James Shaw所領軍的搖滾組合,歸類為朋克搖滾。我自然不清楚音樂的具體流派,只覺得非常喜歡。有股年輕女子才有的暴發力,卻帶著一股執著的天真勁。而聲音也出奇的甜美。在清潔里她在舞台上的髮型和自在表演更是讓我倍增好感。

公制樂隊是一支加拿大新潮流/獨立搖滾樂隊。1998年,這支樂隊在紐約城誕生,他們現在立基於多倫多,安大略湖。這支樂隊由歌手愛米莉.漢納斯(Emily Haines)(她同時也擔任混音師)吉他手詹姆斯.肖(James Shaw),貝斯手喬希.溫斯坦德(Josh Winstead)和鼓手傑勞斯.斯科特(Joules Scott-Key)組成。他們的第一張完整的專輯舊世界的捷運(Old World Underground)你在哪裡(Where Are You Now?)在2003年發布。他們最新的專輯 live it out於2005年10月4日發布,並且作為年度來自加拿大樂隊的專輯獲得2006年Polaris音樂獎項的提名,同時也贏得了朱諾獎(Juno Award)最佳另類搖滾專輯的提名。漢納斯和肖也和Broken Social Scene同台演出過。漢納斯曾經在stars,KC Accidental, Delerium, The Stills和Jason Collett.的專輯中作過嘉賓。斯科特和溫斯坦德曾有過他們自己的第二方案,Bang Lime和漢納斯曾經發布了一首以愛米莉.漢納斯和Soft Skeleton命名的單曲。他們的歌曲怪物醫院(monster hospital)和警察和士兵(Police and the Private)曾被電視劇實習醫生格雷(Greys Anatomy)作為插曲。怪物醫院同時也被CSI: Miami所使用。Metric is a Canadian New Wave/indie rock band. Originally formed in 1998 in New York City, they are currently based in Toronto, Ontario.The band consists of vocalist Emily Haines (who also plays the Synthesizer), guitarist James Shaw, bassist Josh Winstead and drummer Joules Scott-Key. Their first full-length album, Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?, was released in 2003. Their newest album, Live It Out, was released on October 4, 2005 and was nominated for the 2006 Polaris Music Prize for the Canadian Album of The Year as well as earning the Juno Award nomination for Best Alternative Album.Haines and Shaw also perform with Broken Social Scene, and Haines has been a guest on albums by Stars, KC Accidental, Delerium, The Stills, and Jason Collett. Scott-Key and Winstead have their own side project, Bang Lime, and Haines has released a solo album under the name Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton.Their songs Monster Hospital and Police and the Private have been used on the television show Greys Anatomy. Monster Hospital has also been used in CSI: Miami.Metric’s latest album is actually their oldest, though you wouldn’t know it. Grow Up and Blow Away was previously unreleased until now, but this album is just as strong, if a little overly ambitious, than what would follow. Metric couldn’t find a label to release Grow Up and Blow Away, but they soldiered on and hit the radios (in Canada anyway) almost four years later with “Combat Baby”, which sparked so much attention that their album, Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? landed on many critics’ lists as the best of 2003. They seemed so great, where did these quirky Canadians come from anyway? Just like many so-called overnight successes, Metric had been building up to their breakthrough album for years. Focusing now on their newest release, by focusing on the past, Grow Up and Blow Away reveals that even at its inception, Metric was still a great band. This is a great album for the fans, full of interesting experiments and diverse sounds that are both very close to the Metric heard later, and also wildly different. In fact, wild enough that they reminded me at times of another deceptively soft Canadian group from the 90s, the Wild參考資料:《國外音樂勢力》
路由術語,譯為度,指在路由選擇協定算法完成計算後得到的一個變數值,如網路延遲,它的目的是確定最佳路由。metric是路由算法用以確定到達目的地的最佳路徑的計量標準,如路徑長度。常用的metric路由算法使用了許多不同的metric以確定最佳路徑。複雜的路由算法可以基於多個metric選擇路由,並把它們結合成一個複合的metric。常用的metric如下:路徑長度:路徑長度是最常用的路由metric。一些路由協定允許網管給每個網路連結人工賦以代價值,這種情況下,路由長度是所經過各個連結的代價總和。其它路由協定定義了跳數,即分組在從源到目的的路途中必須經過的網路產品,如路由器的個數。可靠性:可靠性,在路由算法中指網路連結的可依賴性(通常以位誤率描述),有些網路連結可能比其它的失效更多,網路失效後,一些網路連結可能比其它的更易或更快修復。任何可靠性因素都可以在給可靠率賦值時計算在內,通常是由網管給網路連結賦以metric值。延遲:路由延遲指分組從源通過網路到達目的所花時間。很多因素影響到延遲,包括中間的網路連結的頻寬、經過的每個路由器的連線埠佇列、所有中間網路連結的擁塞程度以及物理距離。因為延遲是多個重要變數的混合體,它是個比較常用且有效的metric。頻寬:頻寬指連結可用的流通容量。在其它所有條件都相等時,10Mbps的乙太網連結比64kbps的專線更可取。雖然頻寬是連結可獲得的最大吞吐量,但是通過具有較大頻寬的連結做路由不一定比經過較慢連結路由更好。例如,如果一條快速鏈路很忙,分組到達目的所花時間可能要更長。負載:負載指網路資源,如路由器的繁忙程度。負載可以用很多方面計算,包括CPU使用情況和每秒處理分組數。持續地監視這些參數本身也是很耗費資源的。通信代價:通信代價是另一種重要的metric,尤其是有一些公司可能關係運作費用甚於性能。即使線路延遲可能較長,他們也寧願通過自己的線路傳送數據而不採用昂貴的公用線路。
