Abstract--The traffic grooming problem is of high practical importance in emerging wide-area wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks, yet it is intractable for any ...
— A number of analytical models have been proposed to describe the priority schemes of the Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) mechanism of the IEEE 802.11e standard. EDCA...
Abstract--A statistical network service which allows a certain fraction of traffic to not meet its QoS guarantees can extract additional capacity from a network by exploiting stati...
— A research issue under investigation in the context of differentiated services (DiffServ) is the fair distribution of bandwidth between aggregates sharing the same Assured Forw...
There is much experimental evidence that network traffic processes exhibit ubiquitous properties of self-similarity and long-range dependence, i.e., of correlations over a wide ran...
