In this paper we study the Optical Burst Switching (OBS) paradigm for the support of the TCP flows in an All Optical Network (AON). We analyze the TCP send rate, i.e. the amount of...
—Over the last decade, numerous admission control schemes have been studied to allocate network resources. Although per-flow control schemes can provide guaranteed QoS, such sch...
Transporting video over asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks has been an active area of research. The Variable Bit rate (VBR) service in ATM networks is primarily designed an...
In this paper, we consider a set of HTTP flows using TCP over a common drop-tail link to download files. After each download, a flow waits for a random think time before reques...
Recent measurements of local-area and wide-area traffic have shown that network traffic exhibits variability at a wide range of scales. In this paper, we examine a mechanism that ...
