– We examine in this paper the tradeoff between application complexity, network complexity, and network efficiency. We argue that the design of the current Internet reflects a ...
Abstract— Application-layer multicast (ALM, or overlay multicast) has been proposed to overcome limitations in IP multicast. While much measurement work (such as delay or connect...
— We consider ad hoc wireless networks that use directional antennas and have limited energy resources. The performance objectives of such networks depend largely on the applicat...
