We analyze the maximum throughput that known classes of reliable multicast transport protocols can attain. A new taxonomy of reliable multicast transport protocols is introduced ba...
Retransmission can be used for loss recovery in continuous media applications but the number of retransmission attempts is bounded by the size of the playout buffer. For efficient...
Failures of all forms happen: from losing single network packets to site-wide disasters. Since businesses rely heavily on their data, it is imperative that failures require minima...
Multimedia applications have unique characteristics that can be leveraged to design energy-efficient loss recovery mechanisms. Given their loss tolerance and strict timing requirem...
—This paper deals with decentralized, QoS-aware middleware for checkpointing arrangement in Mobile Grid (MoG) computing systems. Checkpointing is more crucial in MoG systems than...
