Distributed Multi-party/Multi-stream systems require a multicast subnetwork capable of satisfying QoS constraints such as Delay and Delay Variation Bound so that the messages reac...
The primary goal of the Multimedia Router (MMR) project is the design and implementation of a router optimized for multimedia applications. The router is targeted for use in clust...
URL, or layer-5, switches can be used to implement locally and globally distributed web sites. URL switches must be able to exploit knowledge of server load and content (e.g., of ...
We consider diversity for media streaming in a rate-distortion optimization framework. A sender-driven transmission scenario is investigated, where diversity is achieved by using ...
In this paper we address the problem of constrained optimization (ILP formulation) and propose a set of heuristic algorithms for assigning light-trails [1–4,7,10] to WDM ring ne...
