A Delay-Tolerant Network Architecture for Challenged Internets

by Kevin Fall , 2003
"... The highly successful architecture and protocols of today’s Internet may operate poorly in environments characterized by very long delay paths and frequent network partitions. These problems are exacerbated by end nodes with limited power or memory resources. Often deployed in mobile and extreme env ..."

Resilient Overlay Networks

by David Andersen, Hari Balakrishnan, Frans Kaashoek, Robert Morris , 2001
"... A Resilient Overlay Network (RON) is an architecture that allows distributed Internet applications to detect and recover from path outages and periods of degraded performance within several seconds, improving over today’s wide-area routing protocols that take at least several minutes to recover. A R ..."

Tor: The secondgeneration onion router,”

by Roger Dingledine - in 13th USENIX Security Symposium. Usenix, , 2004
"... Abstract We present Tor, a circuit-based low-latency anonymous communication service. This second-generation Onion Routing system addresses limitations in the original design by adding perfect forward secrecy, congestion control, directory servers, integrity checking, configurable exit policies, an ..."

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, ..."

VL2: Scalable and Flexible Data Center Network”,

by Albert Greenberg , James R Hamilton , Navendu Jain , Srikanth Kandula , Changhoon Kim , Parantap Lahiri , David A Maltz , Parveen Patel , Sudipta Sengupta - ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review, , 2009
"... Abstract To be agile and cost e ective, data centers should allow dynamic resource allocation across large server pools. In particular, the data center network should enable any server to be assigned to any service. To meet these goals, we present VL, a practical network architecture that scales t ..."

Delayed internet routing convergence

by Craig Labovitz, Abha Ahuja, Abhijit Bose, Farnam Jahanian - ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review , 2000
"... Abstract—This paper examines the latency in Internet path failure, failover, and repair due to the convergence properties of interdomain routing. Unlike circuit-switched paths which exhibit failover on the order of milliseconds, our experimental mea-surements show that interdomain routers in the pac ..."

in the packet-switched Internet may take tens of minutes to reach a consistent view of the network topology after a fault. These delays stem from temporary routing table fluctuations formed during the operation of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) path selection process on Internet backbone routers. During

Internet traffic engineering by optimizing OSPF weights

by Bernard Fortz - in Proc. IEEE INFOCOM , 2000
"... Abstract—Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is the most commonly used intra-domain internet routing protocol. Traffic flow is routed along shortest paths, splitting flow at nodes where several outgoing links are on shortest paths to the destination. The weights of the links, and thereby the shortest pa ..."

path routes, can be changed by the network operator. The weights could be set proportional to their physical distances, but often the main goal is to avoid congestion, i.e. overloading of links, and the standard heuristic recommended by Cisco is to make the weight of a link inversely proportional

Improving Reliable Transport and Handoff Performance in Cellular Wireless Networks

by Hari Balakrishnan, Srinivasan Seshan, Randy H. Katz , 1995
"... TCP is a reliable transport protocol tuned to perform well in traditional networks where congestion is the primary cause of packet loss. However, networks with wireless links and mobile hosts incur significant losses due to biterrors and handoff. This environment violates many of the assumptions mad ..."
