—Determining how to transport delay-sensitive voice data has long been a problem in multimedia networking. The difficulty arises because voice and best-effort data are different...
High contention of flows is associated with unstable network behavior and unmanageable resource administration, i.e., convergence to equilibrium becomes a difficult task. In this ...
Abstract—We propose an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) centric Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) scheme based on individual requests from service queues in Optical Network Units (ON...
—Dynamic Bandwidth allocation in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPONs) has been an area of intense research in recent years. Most of the proposed solutions offer clever metho...
Tit-for-tat is widely believed to be the most effective strategy to enforce collaboration among selfish users. However, it has been shown that its usefulness for decentralized an...
