Determining an appropriate sending rate when beginning data transmission into a network with unknown characteristics is a fundamental issue in best-effort networks. Traditionally,...
through suitable abstractions and tools is a viable option for improving servicebased computations. T he past few years have witnessed end users' increasing involve ment in th...
In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating link loss rates based on end-to-end path loss rates in order to identify lossy links on the network. We first derive a maximu...
We present a mechanism for auctioning bandwidth on a network-wide basis to end users or ISPs that will utilize it for the same time period. This mechanism consists of a set of sim...
