of their subscribers, who consistently finds ways to eschew these controls or simply switch providers. In this paper, we present the design, deployment and evaluation of an approach to reducing this costly cross-ISP traffic without sacrificing system performance. Our approach recycles network views gathered at low

Compressed digital video is one of the most important traffic types in future integrated services networks. However, a network service that supports delay-sensitive video imposes many problems since compressed video sources are variable bit rate (VBR) with a high degree of burstiness. In this paper

. An extension of the analysis to a multi-node scenario shows that the output rate of a flow in a network with many overloaded FIFO switches approaches the pessimistic values given by blind multiplexing.

mesh and fixed shortest path (X-Y based) multi-class wormhole routing. Once communication requirements of the target SoC are identified, the network is customized as follows: The SoC modules are placed so as to minimize spatial traffic density, unnecessary mesh links and switching nodes are removed

S enabled Access Networks deployment. In this paper, we present efficient hardware architectures for Ethemet switches to implement wire speed packet classification, bandwidth policing and rate shaping. The Packet Classification Engine can support configurable multi-dimensional classification at 15Mpacketds

It has been known for several years now that variable-bit-rate video sources are strongly auto-correlated. Recently, several studies have indicated that the resulting stochastic processes exhibit long-range dependence properties. This implies that large buffers at intermediate switching points may

lookup. Once the forwarding information is retrieved, the router can transfer the packet from the incoming link to the appropriate outgoing link, in a process called switching. The exponential growth of the Internet has stressed its routing system. While the data rates of links have kept pace

Abstract—The paper proposes a new analytical method for determining traffic characteristics of multi-stage switching networks implementing threshold mechanism with hysteresis. The proposed method makes it possible to calculate point-to-group blocking probability in switching networks with multi-rate

Many different traffic models have been proposed for the data generated by variable bit rate (VBR) video coders. It has been observed in simulation studies that use of different coders results in a wide variation in predicted cell loss statistics. In this paper, several models are studied
