It is communication-oriented and designed around the constraints of network-connected devices like set-top boxes. The Scout researchers had in mind a class of devices that they called \"network appliances\", which include cameras and disks attached to a network. They believed that these devices have in common the following three characteristics: \n* Communication-Oriented \n* Specialized/Diverse Functionality \n* Predictable Performance with Scarce Resources To satisfy these three requirements, Scout was designed around an abstraction called a \"path\"; was highly configurable; and offered scheduling and resource allocation policies that provided predictable performance under load."@en .
