— This paper investigates in detail the blocking and nonblocking behavior of multirate Clos switching networks at the connection/virtual connection level. The results are applica...
We consider the problem of maximizing the lifetime of a given multicast connection in a wireless network of energyconstrained (e.g. battery-operated) nodes, by choosing ideal tran...
Overlay networks have become popular in recent times for content distribution and end-system multicasting of media streams. In the latter case, the motivation is based on the lack...
Application-layer overlay networks have recently emerged as a promising solution for live media multicast on the Internet. A tree is probably the most natural structure for a mult...
This paper develops simple cost models for provisioning content distribution networks that use the simple and highly scalable bandwidth skimming protocol for streaming. New insight...
