Unreferenced date December 2009 In chemistry , the path length is defined as the distance that light UV Visible spectrum VIS travels through a sample in an analytical cell. Typically, a sample cell is made of quartz , glass, or a plastic rhombic cuvette with a volume typically ranging from 0.1 mL to 10 mL or larger used in a spectrophotometer . For the purposes of spectrophotometry i.e. when making calculations using the Beer Lambert law the path length is measured in centimeters rather than in meters . In a computer network , the path length is one of many possible router metrics used by a router computing router to help determine the best Routing route among multiple routes to a destination. It consists of the end to end hop count from a source to a destination over the network. More simply, in general computer terminology, it can mean simply the total number of instructions executed from point A to point B in a program Instruction path length . In physics, the path length is defined as the total distance an object travels. Unlike displacement, which is the total distance an object travels from a starting point, path length is the total distance travelled, regardless of where it travelled.

Fast path is a term used in computer science to describe a path with shorter instruction path length through a program compared to the normal path. For a fast path to be effective it must handle the most commonly occurring tasks more efficiently than the normal path, leaving the latter to handle uncommon cases, corner case s, error handling, and other anomalies. Fast paths are a form of Optimization computer science optimization . ref http www.cisco.com application pdf paws 13706 20.pdf How to choose the best router switching path for your network ref For example dedicated router computing packet routing hardware used to build computer networks will often sport hardware dedicated to handling the most common kinds of packets, with other kinds, for example with control information or packets directed at the device itself instead of to be routed elsewhere, put on the metaphorical slow path , in this example usually implemented by software running on the control processor. Specific implementations of networking software architectures have been developed that leverage the concept of a fast path to maximize the performance of packet processing software ref http www.6wind.com products services 6windgate software Maximizing network stack performance ref . In these implementations, the networking stack is split into two layers and the lower layer, typically called the fast path, processes the majority of incoming packets outside the OS environment without incurring any of the OS overheads that degrade overall performance. Only those rare packets that require complex processing are forwarded to the OS networking stack, which performs the necessary management, signaling and control functions.

As such it is the counterpart to needing trustworthy channels in that it assures users that they really are working with the program or system they intended to use. The traditional example is a fake login program e.g. a program is written to look like the login screen of a system, as in Login spoofing .
