A common feature of congestion control protocols is the presence of information packets used to signal congestion. We address here the question of how frequently such protocols nee...
We show that the "fractal" behavior of Internet traffic can be efficiently and practically employed to significantly reduce packetloss. Thanks to recent advances in the t...
To support service guarantees in packet-switched networks, three approaches have been proposed. They are the Stateless Core (SCORE) approach, the Integrated Services (IntServ) appr...
This paper performs a comparative evaluation of two QoS architectures, RSVP Reservation Aggregation and Scalable ReservationBased QoS, aimed at providing QoS levels similar to the ...
Firewalls are a well-established security mechanism to restrict the traffic exchanged between networks to a certain subset of users and applications. In order to cope with new appl...
