—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...
— We measure and analyze the single-hop packet delay through operational routers in a backbone IP network. First we present our delay measurements through a single router. Then w...

Abstract—Interactive TCP applications, such as Telnet and the Web, are particularly sensitive to network congestion. Indeed, congestion-induced queuing and packet loss can be a s...
A multigigabit IP router may receive several millions packets per second from each input link. For each packet, the router needs to find the longest matching prefix in the forw...

-- We consider power and server allocation in a multi-beam satellite downlink which transmits data to N different ground locations over N time-varying channels. Packets destined fo...
- This paper describes new optical switching architectures supporting asynchronous variable-length packets. Output line contention is resolved by optical delay line buffers. By int...
— Most of the currently deployed multicast protocols (e.g. DVMRP, PIM, MOSPF) build one shortest path multicast tree per sender, the tree being rooted at the sender’s subnetwor...
— Wavelength routed optical networks allow to design a logical topology, comprising lightpaths and routers, which is overlayed on the physical topology, comprising optical fiber...
