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 ...
Analyzing communication latency using the Nectar communication processor
For multicomputer applications, the most important performance parameters of a network is the latency for short messages. In this paper we present an analysis of communication latency using measurement of the Nectar system. Nectar is a high-performance ...
Scheduling algorithms for multi-hop radio networks
New algorithms for transmission scheduling in multihop broadcast radio networks are presented. Both link scheduling and broadcast scheduling are considered. In each instance scheduling algorithms are given that improve upon existing algorithms both ...
Joint scheduling and admission control for ATS-based switching nodes
A joint scheduling and admission control algorithm is presented for Asynchronous Time-Sharing (ATS)-based switching nodes carrying real-time traffic. Systems based on ATS guarantee quality of service, at both the levels of cells and calls, for three ...
Pre-allocation media access control protocols for multiple access WDM photonic networks
Media access control protocols for an optically interconnected star-coupled system with pre-allocated WDMA channels are introduced and compared. The photonic network is based on a passive star-coupled WDM–based configuration with high topological ...
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 ...
Image transfer: an end-to-end design
The transfer of digital images between data archives and scientific workstations is likely to consume a significant amount of network bandwidth in the very near future. This paper examines the image transfer problem from an end-to-end perspective, that ...
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, ...
An analysis of wide-area name server traffic: a study of the Internet Domain Name System
Over a million computers implement the Internet's Domain Name System of DNS, making it the world's most distributed database and the Internet's most significant source of wide-area RPC-like traffic. Last year, over eight percent of the packets and four ...
Visualizing packet traces
This paper describes an environment for visualizing packet traces that greatly simplifies troubleshooting protocol implementations. Network management centers routinely collect packet traces to tally traffic statistics and to troubleshoot protocol ...
Observing TCP dynamics in real networks
The behavior of the TCP protocol in simple situations is well-understood, but when multiple connections share a set of network resources the protocol can exhibit surprising phenomena. Earlier studies have identified several such phenomena, and have ...
