—In this paper, we argue that weak cache consistency mechanisms supported by existing Web proxy caches must be augmented by strong consistency mechanisms to support the growing d...
Ad hoc networks are characterized by multihop wireless connectivity, frequently changing network topology and the need for efficient dynamic routing protocols. We compare the perf...

— In this paper we use fluid model techniques to establish two results concerning the throughput of data switches. For an input-queued switch (with no speedup) we show that a ma...
User-perceived latency is recognized as the central performance problem in the Web. We systematically measure factors contributing to this latency, across several locations. Our s...
TCP suffers from low performance over asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. This is mainly because during phases of congestion, ATM drops cells without taking into account th...
—We propose a framework for the creation and maintenance of multicast trees in hierarchical ATM networks. This framework aims at coping with an inherent difficulty of topology a...
Abstract—A challenging aspect of mobile communications consists in exploring ways in which the available run time of terminals can be maximized. In this paper, we present a detai...
— An ad-hoc network of wireless static nodes is considered as it arises in a rapidly deployed, sensor based, monitoring system. Information is generated in certain nodes and need...
—The future Internet is expected to support multicast applications with quality of service (QoS) requirements. To facilitate this, QoS multicast routing protocols are pivotal in ...
—Although IP Multicast is an effective network primitive for best-effort, large-scale, multi-point communication, many multicast applications such as shared whiteboards, multi-pl...
