— We consider an edge optical burst switching (OBS) node with or without converters, and with no buffering. The OBS node serves a number of users, each connected to the switch ov...
— Rate adaptive multimedia streams offer significant system and client benefits over non-adaptive streams. These benefits come at the price of increased complexity in providin...
Abstract— Protocols such as TCP require packets to be accepted (i.e., delivered to the receiving application) in the order they are transmitted at the sender. Packets are sometim...
TCP-AQM protocols can be interpreted as distributed primal-dual algorithms over the Internet to maximize aggregate utility over source rates. In this paper we study whether TCP–...
Abstract—A medium access control (MAC) protocol is developed for wireless multimedia networks based on frequency division duplex (FDD) wideband code division multiple access (CDM...
Abstract—Link bundling is a way to increase routing scalability whenever a pair of Label Switching Routers in MPLS are connected by multiple parallel links. However, link bundlin...
—Network flow control regulates the traffic between sources and links based on congestion, and plays a critical role in ensuring satisfactory performance. In recent studies, glob...
