A good amount of research has been developed to support QoS issues in IEEE 802.11 ad hoc networks, such as QoS routing, MAC layer QoS support, and cross-layer QoS design. However,...
Quality of Service (QoS) routing methods are expected to replace existing routing protocols in future QoS-based data networks. QoS routing allows the selection of feasible paths f...
In the next generation Internet, the network should not only be considered as a communication medium, but also as an endless source of services available to the end-systems. These...
In this paper, we present a new hybrid optical burst switch architecture (HOBS) that takes advantage of the pre-transmission idle time during lightpath establishment. In dynamic c...
QoS support poses new challenges to multicast routing especially for inter-domain multicast where network QoS characteristics will not be readily available as in intra-domain multi...
