Several research efforts as well as deployments have chosen IEEE 802.11 as a low-cost, long-distance access technology to bridge the digital divide. In this paper, we consider the...
BitTorrent and Practical Network Coding are efficient methods for sharing files in a peer-to-peer network. Both face the problem to distribute a given file using peers with dif...

—Burst loss and delay are two main issues in optical hop-count. Network diameter is the hop-count of the shortest burst switching (OBS) networks. In OBS, if the hop-count path be...
This work analyzes the connectivity of large diameter networks where every link has an independent probability p of failure. We give a (relatively simple) topological condition th...
