The size of computer networks, along with their bandwidths, is growing exponentially. To support these large, high-speed networks, it is neccessary to be able to forward packets in...
Popular myths that cheaper memory, high-speed links and high-speed processors will solve the problem of congestion in computer networks are shown to be false. A simple definition f...
An analysis is made of the impact of various design decisions on the error detection capability of the fiber distributed data interface (FDDI), a 100-Mb/s fiber-optic LAN stardard ...
The performance of Fiber-Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) depends upon several workload parameters; for example; the arrival pattern, frame size, and configuration parameters, suc...
Using a trace of address references, we compared the efficiency of several different hashing functions, such as cyclic redundancy checking (CRC) polynomials, Fletcher checksum, fol...
Weaknesses in several recently proposed ideas about congestion control and avoidance in high-speed netwroks are identified. Both sides of the debate concerning prior reservation of...
This paper represents the technical core of a pre-competitive consortium formed by AT&T, DEC and MIT to study the technology, architecture and applications of wide-band all-opt...
Key issues in upcoming FDDI standards including low-cost fiber, twisted-pair, SONET mapping, and FDDI follow-on LAN are discussed after a brief introduction to FDDI and FDDI-II
Congestion control mechanisms for ATM networks as selected by the ATM Forum traffic management group are described. Reasons behind these selections are explained. In particular, se...
