— Optical Burst Switching (OBS) is an experimental network technology that enables the construction of very high capacity routers, using optical data paths and electronic control...
Abstract—We propose probabilistic location to enhance the performance of existing peer-to-peer location mechanisms in the case where a replica for the queried data item exists cl...
—This paper describes a novel framework, called Distributed Partial Information Management (or DPIM). It addresses several major challenges in achieving efficient shared path pr...
— A number of large-scale distributed Internet applications could potentially benefit from some level of knowledge about the relative proximity between its participating host no...

—Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a popular protocol for routing within an autonomous system (AS) domain. In order to scale for large networks containing hundreds and thousands...

— This paper presents a new mechanism for improving the convergence properties of path vector routing algorithms, such as BGP. Using a route’s path information, we develop two ...

—Supporting quality of service (QoS) in large-scale broadband networks poses major challenges, due to the intrinsic complexity of the corresponding resource allocation problems. ...
Abstract-In this paper, a new preemption policy is proposed and complemented with an adaptive scheme that aims to minimize rerouting. The preemption policy combines the three main ...

—To provide flexibility in deploying new protocols and services, general-purpose processing engines are being placed in the datapath of routers. Such network processors are typi...
—BGP allows routers to use general preference policies for route selection. This paper studies the impact of these policies on convergence time. We first describe a real-time mo...
