—BGP allows routers to use general preference policies for route selection. This paper studies the impact of these policies on convergence time. We first describe a real-time mo...
Advances in fabrication technology have resulted in a continual shrinkage of device dimensions. This has resulted in smaller device delays, greater resistance along interconnect w...
This paper studies the system parameters that affect the total cost of managing the multicast group on a router. A Petri net model is first proposed to describe the states and t...
Network virtualization has emerged as a powerful technique to deploy novel services and experimental protocols over shared network infrastructures. Although recent research has hi...
Jim Propp's rotor router model is a simple deterministic analogue of a random walk. Instead of distributing chips randomly, it serves the neighbors in a fixed order. We analy...
