Abstract—While the advantages of multicast delivery over multiple unicast deliveries is undeniable, the deployment of the IP multicast protocol has been limited to “islands” ...
– Efficient data retrieval in a peer-to-peer system like Freenet is a challenging problem. In this paper we study the impact of cache replacement policy on the performance of Fre...
— This paper describes and evaluates a probabilistic packet scheduling (PPS) algorithm for providing different levels of service to TCP flows. With our approach, each router de...

Abstract— This papers explores, primarily by means of analysis, the differences that can exist between individual and aggregate loss guarantees in an environment where guarantees...
Abstract—We propose a simple and robust mechanism for detecting SYN flooding attacks. Instead of monitoring the ongoing traffic at the front end (like firewall or proxy) or a ...
—Caching is a popular technique for reducing both server load and user response time in distributed systems. In this paper, we consider the question of whether caching might be e...
IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control(MAC) is proposed to support asynchronous and time bounded delivery of radio data packets in infrastructure and ad hoc networks. The basis of the I...
— We consider ad hoc wireless networks that use directional antennas and have limited energy resources. The performance objectives of such networks depend largely on the applicat...

—Connected dominating set (CDS) has been proposed as virtual backbone or spine of wireless ad hoc networks. Three distributed approximation algorithms have been proposed in the l...
Abstract— We consider stochastic guarantees for networks with aggregate scheduling, in particular, Expedited Forwarding (EF). Our approach on the assumption that a node can be ab...
