A Shrew attack, which uses a low-rate burst carefully designed to exploit TCP’s retransmission timeout mechanism, can throttle the bandwidth of a TCP flow in a stealthy manner....
— To achieve high performance and resilience to failures, a client can make connections with multiple servers simultaneously and receive different portions of the data from each ...
With the rapid advances in Internet and Grid technique, an increasing number of applications will involve computing systems. These applications in turn create an increasing demand ...
The need to provide performance guarantee in high performance servers has long been neglected. Providing performance guarantee in current and future servers is difficult because ï...
We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
