ABSTRACT
We present a layered architecture, named MOJOHON, designed to allow the communication among two or more instances of a distributed application while maintaining a high level of abstraction with respect to the communication facilities available. MOJOHON, which encompasses distributed modules for transmission, reception, reflection, adaptation, monitoring and configuration, has been defined so as to be used by applications to exchange control and data messages even when instances of the applications are unable to directly address each other -- for instance, when one or more instances are running behind NAT. We also present a proof-of-concept multimedia application, developed using MOJOHON, which uses an asynchronous communication middleware for control message exchange and RTP/UDP datagrams for data exchange.

IGMPv3-based method for avoiding DoS attacks in multicast-enabled networks
LCN '00: Proceedings of the 25th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer NetworksIP multicast has proven to be very good for many-to-many multimedia communications like audio and video conferencing. However there are only a few Internet service providers offering it as a true Internet service to their customers. The reason is that ...
TCP smoothness and window adjustment strategy
We observe that even when the system throughput is relatively stable,end users of media-streaming applications do not necessarily experience smooth throughput, due to the unsynchronized window adjustments triggered by random congestion indications. We ...
Research: Source-based delay-bounded multicasting in multimedia networks
In multimedia communication networks, the problem of multicasting assumes a new dimension. Apart from minimizing the cost of multicast communication, it is also necessary to ensure that each of the destination nodes receives the message within a bounded ...
