Routing in a Delay Tolerant Network

by Sushant Jain, Kevin Fall, Rabin Patra , 2004
"... We formulate the delay-tolerant networking routing problem, where messages are to be moved end-to-end across a connectivity graph that is time-varying but whose dynamics may be known in advance. The problem has the added constraints of finite buffers at each node and the general property that no con ..."

The Performance of TCP/IP for Networks with High Bandwidth-Delay Products and Random Loss.

by Member, IEEE T V Lakshman , Senior Member, IEEE Upamanyu Madhow - IEEE/ACM Trans. Networking, , 1997
"... Abstract-This paper examines the performance of TCP/IP, the Internet data transport protocol, over wide-area networks (WANs) in which data traffic could coexist with real-time traffic such as voice and video. Specifically, we attempt to develop a basic understanding, using analysis and simulation, ..."

Consensus Problems in Networks of Agents with Switching Topology and Time-Delays

by Reza Olfati Saber, Richard M. Murray , 2003
"... In this paper, we discuss consensus problems for a network of dynamic agents with fixed and switching topologies. We analyze three cases: i) networks with switching topology and no time-delays, ii) networks with fixed topology and communication time-delays, and iii) max-consensus problems (or leader ..."

Implementation and performance of Munin

by John B. Carter, John K. Bennett, Willy Zwaenepoel - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 13TH ACM SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS PRINCIPLES , 1991
"... Munin is a distributed shared memory (DSM) system that allows shared memory parallel programs to be executed efficiently on distributed memory multiprocessors. Munin is unique among existing DSM systems in its use of multiple consistency protocols and in its use of release consistency. In Munin, sha ..."

to keep memory consistent. Munin's multiprotocol release consistency is implemented in software using a delayed update queue that buffers and merges pending outgoing writes. A sixteen-processor prototype of Munin is currently operational. We evaluate its implementation and describe the execution

Service Disciplines for Guaranteed Performance Service in Packet-Switching Networks

by Hui Zhang - Proceedings of the IEEE , 1995
"... While today’s computer networks support only best-effort service, future packet-switching integrated-services networks will have to support real-time communication services that allow clients to transport information with performance guarantees expressed in terms of delay, delay jitter, throughput, ..."

A Scheme for Real-Time Channel Establishment in Wide-Area Networks

by Domenico Ferrari, Dinesh C. Verma - IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS , 1990
"... Multimedia communication involving digital audio and/or digital video has rather strict delay requirements. A real-time channel is defined in this paper as a simplex connection between a source and a destination characterized by parameters representing the performance requirements of the client. A r ..."

Kademlia: A Peer-to-peer Information System Based on the XOR Metric

by Petar Maymounkov, David Mazières , 2002
"... We describe a peer-to-peer system which has provable consistency and performance in a fault-prone environment. Our system routes queries and locates nodes using a novel XOR-based metric topology that simplifies the algorithm and facilitates our proof. The topology has the property that every message ..."

A generalized processor sharing approach to flow control in integrated services networks: The single-node case

by Abhay K. Parekh, Robert G. Gallager - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1993
"... The problem of allocating network resources to the users of an integrated services network is investigated in the context of rate-based flow control. The network is assumed to be a virtual circuit, connection-based packet network. We show that the use of Generalized processor Sharing (GPS), when co ..."
Abstract - Cited by 2010 (5 self) - Add to MetaCart
combined with Leaky Bucket admission control, allows the network to make a wide range of worst-case performance guarantees on throughput and delay. The scheme is flexible in that different users may be given widely different performance guarantees, and is efficient in that each of the servers is work

Random Early Detection Gateways for Congestion Avoidance.

by Sally Floyd , Van Jacobson - IEEELACM Transactions on Networking, , 1993
"... Abstract-This paper presents Random Early Detection (RED) gateways for congestion avoidance in packet-switched networks. The gateway detects incipient congestion by computing the average queue size. The gateway could notify connections of congestion either by dropping packets arriving at the gatewa ..."

Simulations of a TCP/IP network are used to illustrate the performance of RED gateways. lNTRODucTION I N high

Topology Control of Multihop Wireless Networks using Transmit Power Adjustment

by Ram Ramanathan , Regina Rosales-hain , 2000
"... We consider the problem of adjusting the transmit powers of nodes in a multihop wireless network (also called an ad hoc network) to create a desired topology. We formulate it as a constrained optimization problem with two constraints- connectivity and biconnectivity, and one optimization objective- ..."

We analyze the throughput, delay, and power consumption of our algorithms using a prototype software implementation, an emulation of a power-controllable radio, and a detailed channel model. Our results show that the performance of multihop wireless networks in practice can be substantially
