We report on measurements from two OC-3 trunks in MCI’s commercial Internet backbone over two time ranges (24-hour and 7

This paper proposes a mechanism for equation-based congestion control for unicast traffic. Most best-effort traffic in the current Internet is well-served by the dominant transport protocol, TCP. However, traffic such as best-effort unicast streaming multimedia could find use for a TCP

Active networks are a novel approach to network architecture in which the switches of the network perform customized computations on the messages flowing through them. This approach is motivated by both lead user applications, which perform user-driven computation at nodes within the network today, and the emergence of mobile code technologies that make dynamic network service innovation attainable. In this paper, we discuss two approaches to the realization of active networks and provide a snapshot of the current research issues and activities. Introduction – What Are Active Networks? In an active network, the routers or switches of the network perform customized computations on the messages flowing through them. For example, a user of an active network could send a “trace ” program to each router and arrange for the program to be executed when their packets are processed. Figure 1 illustrates how the routers of an IP
