An efficient communication protocol for high-speed packet-switched multichannel networks

This paper proposes a new media-access protocol for high-speed packet-switched multichannel networks based on a broadcast topology, for example, optical passive star networks using wavelength-division multiple access. The protocol supports connection-...

Supporting real-time applications in an Integrated Services Packet Network: architecture and mechanism

This paper considers the support of real-time applications in an Integrated Services Packet Network (ISPN). We first review the characteristics of real-time applications. We observe that, contrary to the popular view that real-time applications ...

A language-based approach to protocol implementation

Morpheus is special-purpose programming language that facilitates the efficient implementation of communication protocols. Protocols are divided into three categories, called shapes, so that they can inherit code and data structures based on their ...

Scalable inter-domain routing architecture

As internets grow, both in size and in the diversity of routing requirements, providing inter-domain routing that can accommodate both of these factors becomes increasingly crucial. We propose a scalable inter-domain routing architecture consisting of ...

Dynamic multi-path routing and how it compares with other dynamic routing algorithms for high speed wide area network

In this paper we describe briefly a dynamic multi-path routing scheme that has been considered for connection oriented homogeneous high speed networks. The fundamental objective of the scheme is to bridge the gap between routing and congestion control ...

Internet routing over large public data networks using shortcuts

With the emergence of large switched public data networks that are well-suited to connectionless internets, for instance SMDS, it is possible that larger and larger numbers of internet users will get their connectivity from large public data networks ...

Architecture design for regulating and scheduling user's traffic in ATM networks

The asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technique provides a standardized and flexible scheme to transport and switch traffic effectively for different services. To provide satisfactory quality of service (QOS) to all users on the network, it is necessary ...

Continuous media communication with dynamic QOS control using ARTS with an FDDI network

Continuous media communication requires timely delivery of data such as digital video and audio packets. Quality of Service (QOS) parameters specify the temporal and spatial characteristic of such continuous media data. To insure timely delivery of ...

A continuous media transport and orchestration service

The desire to transfer continuous media such as digital audio and video across packet switched networks imposes a number of new requirements on transport level communication services. This paper identifies a number of these requirements in the context ...

A hop by hop rate-based congestion control scheme

The flow/congestion control scheme of TCP is based on the sliding window mechanism. As we demonstrate in this paper, the performance of this and other similar end-to-end flow control schemes deteriorates as networks move to the gigabit range. This has ...

Dynamic Time Windows: packet admission control with feedback

We present a feedback congestion control method, Dynamic Time Windows, for use in high speed wide area networks based on controlling source variance. It is part of the two-level integrated congestion control system introduced in our earlier work[1].

The ...

Analysis of a rate-based control strategy with delayed feedback

In this paper we analyze a class of delayed feedback schemes that achieves the dual goal of keeping buffers small and utilizations high, despite propagation delays and regardless of network rates. We analyze delayed feedback schemes as a system of delay-...

Performance analysis of an asynchronous multi-rate crossbar with bursty traffic

One of the most promising approaches to building high speed networks and distributed multiprocessors is the use of optical interconnections. The basic component of such a system is a switch (interconnection network) that has a capacity of ...

An effective scheme for pre-emptive priorities in dual bus Metropolitan Area Networks

The IEEE 802.6 standard for Metropolitan Area Networks does not provide multiple priority traffic for connectionless data services. A priority mechanism that was considered for the standard showed to be not effective. As of now, there exists no protocol ...

A labeling algorithm for just-in-time scheduling in TDMA networks

This paper describes a scheduling algorithm for high speed, TDMA communication networks. The problem is to find a route and determine switch schedules so that a burst of information can traverse the network from source to destination. We show that this ...

An evaluation framework for Multicast Ordering Protocols

A new framework for evaluating Multicast Ordering protocols is presented. It allows to compare solutions to the problem of ordering multicast messages in an identical way at all receiving sites when multiple senders operate concurrently. A new type of ...

Reliability and scaling issues in multicast communication

The efficiency with which multicast communication can take place is largely determined by the network level support available for such communication. Two factors contribute to the complexity of supporting current multicast applications: the lack of ...

Performance evaluation of Forward Error Correction in ATM networks

If the packet loss rate in a network is higher than the loss rate requested by an application, the transport protocol must make up for the difference in loss rate. In high bandwidth delay-product networks the latency introduced by retransmission-based ...

Efficient demultiplexing of incoming TCP packets

When a transport protocol segment arrives at a receiving system, the receiving system must determine which application is to receive the protocol segment. This decision is typically made by looking up a protocol control block (PCB) for the segment, ...
