In this paper, we present the index-permutation (IP) graph model, and apply it to the systematic development of efficient hierarchical networks. We derive several classes of inter...
— Designing optimal measurement infrastructure is a key step for network management. In this work we address the problem of optimizing a scalable distributed polling system. The ...
— Traditional SLAs, defined by average delay or packet loss, often camouflage the instantaneous performance perceived by end-users. We define a set of metrics for service avai...
We present an MPI topology discovery tool for homogeneous Ethernet switched clusters. Unlike existing Ethernet topology discovery methods that rely on Simple Network Management Pr...
— Mobility in packet networks has become a critical issue in the last years. Mobile IP and the Network Mobility Basic Support Protocol are the IETF proposals to provide mobility....
