This paper describes GulfStream, a scalable distributed software system designed to address the problem of managing the network topology in a multi-domain server farm. In particul...
To construct high performance Web servers, system builders are increasingly turning to distributed designs. An important challenge that arises in such designs is the need to direc...

In this paper, we propose a novel bit-stream switching scheme for the multiple bit-rate (MBR) video streaming, in which a Wyner-Ziv coded frame is used to overcome the mismatch be...
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...
- This paper describes new optical switching architectures supporting asynchronous variable-length packets. Output line contention is resolved by optical delay line buffers. By int...
