Many network applications that require Quality-ofService QoS support, such as transmission of digital voice and video, tolerate a certain level of service degradation. In this s...
In this paper we advocate a service paradigm, profile-cast, within the communication framework of delay tolerant networks (DTN)[2]. This novel approach leverages the behavioral pat...
—Recent studies show that network coding improves multicast session throughput. In this paper, we demonstrate how random linear network coding can be incorporated to provide netw...
Abstract. Core-based multicast trees use less router state, but have significant drawbacks when compared to shortest-path trees, namely higher delay and poor fault tolerance. We e...
Communication delay is a key source of uncertainty in distributed systems. Existing approaches to reduce this uncertainty focus on maintaining sufficient surplus bandwidth; appli...
