Network operators need high-capacity router architectures that can offer scalability, provide throughput and performance guarantees, and maintain packet ordering. However, previou...
Abstract— We consider stochastic guarantees for networks with aggregate scheduling, in particular, Expedited Forwarding (EF). Our approach on the assumption that a node can be ab...
While ATM bandwidth-reservation techniques are able to o er the guarantees necessary for the delivery of real-time streams in many applications (e.g. live audio and video), they s...
The increase of the web traffic has created the need for web switches that are able to balance the traffic to the server farms based on their contents (e.g. layer 7 switching). In...
AQM (Active Queue Management) mechanism is a congestion control mechanism at a router for controlling the number of packets in the router’s buffer by actively discarding an arri...
