Issues of network reliability are very important in modern computer networks. Even a short failure of a network link can cause substantial consequences. In this paper we concentrat...
We compare the performance of a variant of the standard Dynamic Alternative Routing (DAR) technique commonly used in telephone and ATM networks to a path selection algorithm that ...
—This paper studies the capacity and flow assignment problem arising in the design of self-healing asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks using the virtual path concept. The ...
—We propose a framework for the creation and maintenance of multicast trees in hierarchical ATM networks. This framework aims at coping with an inherent difficulty of topology a...
The lecture notes cover the following topics,
