This work investigates the benefits and drawbacks of using a lottery to schedule and drop packets within a router. We find that a lottery can provide many distinct levels of serv...
Abstract. Multipath routing schemes distribute traffic among multiple paths instead of routing all the traffic along a single path. Two key questions that arise in multipath rout...
To create acceptable levels of Quality of Service (QoS), designers need to be able to predict users’ behaviour in response to different levels of QoS. However, predicting behavio...
— Recent extensions to the Internet architecture allow assignment of different levels of drop precedence to IP packets. This paper examines differentiation predictability and imp...
Ad-hoc wireless networks consist of mobile nodes interconnected by multi-hop wireless paths. Unlike conventional wireless networks, ad-hoc networks have no fixed network infrastru...
The growing use of multimedia communication applications with specific bandwidth and real time delivery requirements has created the need for a new Internet in which traditional be...
We propose a novel approach to Quality of Service, intended for IP over SONET (or IP over WDM) networks, that offers end-users the choice between two service classes defined acco...
