High efficiency in capacity utilization and fast restoration are two primary goals of survivable design in optical networks. Shared backup path protection has been shown to be effi...
Due to hidden terminals and a dynamic topology, contention among stations in an ad-hoc network is not homogeneous. Some stations are at a disadvantage in opportunity of access to ...
In multi-hop networks, packet schedulers at downstream nodes have an opportunity to make up for excessive latencies due to congestion at upstream nodes. Similarly, when packets inc...
Abstract-- Information about the topology and link-level characteristics of a network is critical for many applications including network diagnostics and management. However, this ...
Development of portable network-aware applications demands an interface to the network that allows an application to obtain information about its execution environment. This paper...
