Current TCP-friendly congestion control mechanisms adjust the packet rate in order to adapt to network conditions and obtain a throughput not exceeding that of a TCP connection op...
Allocating resources in networks to QoS flows may require undesirable delays or costs. We consider a dynamic Service Level Agreement (SLA) negotiation scheme between peer autonomo...
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...
In ATM networks, the guaranteed frame rate (GFR) service category has been defined to support user applications which are neither able to specify the range of traffic parameter va...
A novel algorithm for buffer management and rate allocation is presented for providing loss and delay differentiation for traffic classes at a network router. The algorithm, calle...
