In this paper we model and study the performance of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing systems in terms of their `service capacity'. We identify two regimes of interest: the tra...
In this paper, we study the problem of dynamic allocation of the resources of a general parallel processing system, comprised of M heterogeneous processors and M heterogeneous tra...

There are many structured P2P systems that use DHT technologies to map data items onto the nodes in various ways for scalable routing and location. Most of the systems require O(lo...
Several recent studies have proposed methods to accelerate the receipt of a file by downloading its parts from different servers in parallel. The schemes suggested in most propose...
This paper proposes a stochastic fluid flow model to compute the transfer time distribution of resources in peer-to-peer file sharing applications. The amount of bytes transferred...

This paper investigates the situation where a group of terminals can be simultaneously connected to several base stations using distinct technologies on nonoverlapping frequency b...
In this paper we consider the problem of sending data in real time from information sources to sets of receivers, using peer-to-peer communications. We consider several models of ...
The DiffServ architecture has been proposed as a scalable approach for upgrading the Internet, adding service differentiation functionalities. However, several aspects of this arc...

TCP-based data flows generate packets and ACKs in two directions, be it in the wireline or wireless networks. In the latter case, packets are typically found in the downlink where...
