— The Assured Forwarding (AF) service of the IETF DiffServ architecture provides a qualitative service differentiation between classes of traffic, in the sense that a low-priori...
We introduce a technique that can be used to model the behaviour of protocols. In our model each process within a protocol belongs to a particular class. A set of rules governs th...
Most of the existing medium access control (MAC) protocols for wireless local area networks (WLANs) provide prioritized access by adjusting the contention window sizes or interfram...
In Differentiated Service (DiffServ) networks, the routing algorithms used by the premium class traffic, due to the high priority afforded to that traffic, may have a significant ...
In this work, we embark on a study of the possibility (or impossibility), and the corresponding costs, of devising concurrent, low-contention implementations of atomic Read-Modify...
