The paper considers a network with many apparently-independent periodic processes and discusses one method by which these processes can inadvertently become synchronized. In parti...
There is a common unjustified belief that OSI management technology, despite being very powerful, is difficult to implement because of the complexity of the underlying service/prot...
: With the advent of Optical Networks, an important opportunity for the application of Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) framework emerges. At present, most such networks ...

A new model of nonuniform traffic is introduced for a single-hop packet-switching system. This traffic model allows arbitrary traffic streams subject only to a constraint on the nu...
We consider the ring network with spatial reuse. Tra c streams may enter and exit the network at any node. We adopt an arrival tra c model with deterministic constraints on its sa...
A multihop, wavelength division multiplex (WDM)based network, CayleyNet, is proposed for the realization of terabit lightwave networks. CayleyNets are attractive virtual topologie...
Current standards reserve one bit in the ATM cell header to indicate loss priority. When congestion occurs ai a queue lower priority cells can be discarded in order to insure a sm...
