A Case for Mesh-Tree-Interaction in End System Multicasting
Abstract. End System Multicasting (ESM) is fast becoming a feasible alternative to IP multicasting. ESM approaches can be broadly classified into two main categories: (i) Tree firs...

Reducing Packet-Loss by Taking Long-Range Dependences into Account
We show that the "fractal" behavior of Internet traffic can be efficiently and practically employed to significantly reduce packetloss. Thanks to recent advances in the t...

Loss Strategies for Competing TCP/IP Connections
We study in this paper two competing TCP connections that share a common bottleneck link. When congestion occurs, one (or both) connections will suffer a loss that will cause its t...

The Role of Information Update in Flow Control
A common feature of congestion control protocols is the presence of information packets used to signal congestion. We address here the question of how frequently such protocols nee...

Scalable Packet Classification through Maximum Entropy Hashing
In this paper we propose a new packet classification algorithm, which can substantially improve the performance of a classifier by decreasing the rulebase lookup latency. The algor...
