Recently there has been a renewed interest in the application of economic models to the management of computational resources. Most of this interest is focused on pricing models f...
— Efficient network provisioning mechanisms that support service differentiation and automatic capacity dimensioning are essential to the realization of the Differentiated Servi...
—Traditionally uncooperative rate control schemes have implied open loop protocols such as UDP, CBR. In this paper we show that closed loop uncooperative rate control schemes als...
— End-to-end congestion control mechanisms such as those in TCP are not enough to prevent congestion collapse in the Internet (for starters, not all applications might be willing...
The convergence on IP of a wide variety of traffic types has strengthened the need for service differentiation. Service differentiation relies on two equally important components:...
