We evaluate pathchar, a tool that infers the characteristics of links along an Internet path latency, bandwidth, queue delays. Looking at two example paths, we identify circumst...
This paper presents a novel framework for managing network congestion from an end-to-end perspective. Our work is motivated by several trends in traffic patterns that threaten th...

The more information about current network conditions available to a transport protocol, the more efficiently it can use the network to transfer its data. In networks such as the...
We suggest a new simple forwarding technique to speed-up IP destination address lookup. The technique is a natural extension of IP, requires 5 bits in the IP header (IPv4, 7 in IP...
We analyze a seven-week trace of the Metricom metropolitan-area packet radio wireless network to find how users take advantage of a mobile environment. Such understanding is criti...
Wireless wide-area networks (WWANs) are characterized by very low and variable bandwidths, very high and variable delays, significant non-congestion related losses, asymmetric upl...
An ad-hoc network is the cooperative engagement of a collection of typically wireless mobile nodes without the required intervention of any centralized access point or existing ...
Broadcasting is a common operation in a network to resolve many issues. In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) in particular, due to host mobility, such operations are expected to be e...
We present the results of a performance evaluation of link layer error recovery over wireless links. Our analysis is based upon a case study of the circuit-switched data service i...
