We propose the cross-layer based opportunistic multi-channel medium access control (MAC) protocols, which integrate the spectrum sensing at physical (PHY) layer with the packet sch...
In this paper, we propose a new SLA model for best effort IP traffic over WDM networks. This model jointly considers two QoS metrics, workable traffic volume and availability, as ...
Abstract—In many applications the traffic traversing the network has inter-packet dependencies due to application-level encoding schemes. For some applications, e.g., multimedia...
— Virtual Private Networks (VPN) provide a secure and reliable communication between customer sites over a shared network. With increase in number and size of VPNs, providers nee...
We critically examine the claims that TCP congestion control contributes to the observed self-similar traffic rate correlations. A simulation model is designed to analyze aggregat...
