— Although there is a trend in reducing the number of layers in core and metropolitan area networks, still the optimal design of multi-layer networks (like IP over WDM) remains a...
Designing an optimal overlay communication network for a set of processes on the Internet is a central problem of peer-to-peer (P2P) computing. Such a network defines membership a...
All the proposed IP mobility protocols assume that the mobile nodes always have a mobility-aware IP stack. On the other hand, efficient micro-mobility solutions entail specific to...
Network topology design problems find application in several real life scenarios. However, most designs in the past either optimize for a single criterion like delay or assume sim...
—Burst loss and delay are two main issues in optical hop-count. Network diameter is the hop-count of the shortest burst switching (OBS) networks. In OBS, if the hop-count path be...
