Abstract—Fair bandwidth sharing at routers has several advantages, including protection of well-behaved flows and possible simplification of endto-end congestion control mechan...
—Although IP Multicast is an effective network primitive for best-effort, large-scale, multi-point communication, many multicast applications such as shared whiteboards, multi-pl...
– We examine in this paper the tradeoff between application complexity, network complexity, and network efficiency. We argue that the design of the current Internet reflects a ...
—When congestion builds up in a packet network, two general approaches are possible to cope with the shortage of buffer space. One approach is to drop incoming packets for which ...
Abstract. Rent's rule and related concepts of connectivity such as dimensionality, line-length distributions, and separators have found great use in fundamental studies of di ...
