Distributed hash table (DHT) networks based on consistent hashing functions have an inherent load balancing problem. The problem becomes more severe due to the heterogeneity of ne...
Traditional techniques for a distributed web server design rely on manipulation of central resources, such as routers or DNS services, to distribute requests designated for a sing...
Active networks allow code to be loaded dynamically into network nodes at run-time. This code can perform tasks specific to a stream of packets or even a single packet. In this pa...
