Middleboxes are ubiquitous in today’s networks and perform a variety of important functions, including IDS, VPN, firewalling, and WAN optimization. These functions differ vastl...
This paper presents a distributed scheduling algorithm for the support of QoS in multiaccess networks. Unlike most contention-based multiaccess protocols which o er no QoS guarant...
The end-to-end characteristic is an important factor for QoS support. Since network users and their required bandwidths for applications increase, the efficient usage of networks h...
The assignment problem originally arising from parallel and distributed computing has been investigated intensively since the 70’s when Harold Stone proposed a method to solve i...
—Bandwidth estimation techniques seek to provide an accurate estimation of available bandwidth such that network applications can adjust their behavior accordingly. However, most...
