Packet delay greatly influences the overall performance of network applications. It is therefore important to identify causes and location of delay performance degradation within ...

Abstract--We propose an efficient parallel switching architecture that requires no speedup and guarantees bounded delay. Our architecture consists of input
A Bloom filter is a simple space-efficient randomized data structure for representing a set in order to support membership queries. Although Bloom filters allow false positives, f...
We consider the problem of multirate network design with point-to-multipoint communications. We give a mathematical formulation for this problem. Using approximations, we show that...
Current means of providing loop-back recovery, which is widely used in SONET, rely on ring topologies, or on overlaying logical ring topologies upon physical meshes. Loop-back is d...
Abstract--This paper addresses multicast routing in circuitswitched multihop optical networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing. We consider a model in which multicast com...
We consider input-queued switch architectures dealing at their interfaces with variable-size packets, but internally operating on fixed-size cells. Packets are segmented into cells...

In multi-hop networks, packet schedulers at downstream nodes have an opportunity to make up for excessive latencies due to congestion at upstream nodes. Similarly, when packets inc...
We present two routing strategies, identified herein as static least loaded routing (SLLR) and dynamic least loaded routing (DLLR). Dynamic routing in circuit-switched networks has...
The notion of timeout (namely, the maximal time to wait before retrying an action) turns up in many networking contexts, such as packet transmission, connection establishment, etc....
