Most common network protocols (e.g., the Internet Protocol) work with variable size packets, whereas contemporary switches still operate with fixed size cells, which are easier t...
—In the effort of reducing or eliminating per-flow state at routers, hence making QoS schedulers scalable in the core Internet, Flow Aggregation outperforms Dynamic Packet State...
Abstract— In this paper, we propose a cross-layer partnerbased fast handoff mechanism based on HMIPv6, called as PHMIPv6 protocol. Our PHMIPv6 protocol is a cross-layer, layer-2 ...
The IEEE802.11e defines a MAC protocol, which provides EDCA (enhanced distributed channel access) and HCCA (HCF controlled channel access) to support differentiation service over W...
New applications have been introduced to the today’s “best-effort” IP networks having different bandwidth and delay guarantee requirements. The IETF is currently focused on D...
