We examine the use of a hop-limit constraint with techniques to provide survivability for connection-oriented ATM group communications. A hop-limit constraint is an approach that ...
Communications systems, encompassing VoIP, IM, and other personal media, present different challenges for P2P environments than other P2P applications. In particular, reliable com...
Scalability and reliability are inseparable in high-performance computing. Fault-isolation through hardware is a popular means of providing reliability. Unfortunately, such isolat...
Reliable multicast requires that all packets are safely delivered to the destinations. Such communication patterns are intensively used in the so-called grid computing infrastructu...
— Data collected in a sensor network is transported hop-by-hop to a sink for further analysis. The quality of the analysis depends on the amount of data reaching the sink. Hence,...
