—In this paper, we propose a link-directionality-based dual channel MAC protocol in an attempt to double the capacities of networks using the single-channel 802.11 protocol. Simu...
Abstract—We investigate the problem of providing a fair bandwidth allocation to each of flows that share the outgoing link of a congested router. The buffer at the outgoing link...
We evaluate pathchar, a tool that infers the characteristics of links along an Internet path latency, bandwidth, queue delays. Looking at two example paths, we identify circumst...
Auctions are a widely used approach for determining the current market price for congested resources. However, using them for real systems, such as the Internet, the auction algor...
ABSTRACT: Hierarchies provide scalability in large networks and are integral to many widely-used protocols and applications. Previous approaches to constructing hierarchies have ty...
