Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) provide rapidly deployable and self-configuring network capacity required in many critical applications, e.g., battlefields, disaster relief and ...
— Traditional SLAs, defined by average delay or packet loss, often camouflage the instantaneous performance perceived by end-users. We define a set of metrics for service avai...
It is commonly agreed that scheduling mechanisms in general purpose operating systems do not provide adequate support for modern interactive applications, notably multimedia appli...
—Allocating resources for multimedia traffic flows with real-time performance requirements is an important challenge for future packet networks. However, in large-scale networks,...
— Buffered crossbar (CICQ) switches have shown a high potential in scaling Internet routers capacity. However, they require expensive on-chip buffers whose cost grows quadratical...
