Promoting the Use of End-to-End Congestion Control in the Internet

by Sally Floyd, Kevin Fall - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1999
"... This paper considers the potentially negative impacts of an increasing deployment of non-congestion-controlled best-effort traffic on the Internet.’ These negative impacts range from extreme unfairness against competing TCP traffic to the potential for congestion collapse. To promote the inclusion ..."

of end-to-end congestion control in the design of future protocols using best-effort traffic, we argue that router mechanisms are needed to identify and restrict the bandwidth of selected high-bandwidth best-effort flows in times of congestion. The paper discusses several general approaches

Managing Energy and Server Resources in Hosting Centers

by Jeffrey S. Chase, Darrell C. Anderson, Prachi N. Thakar, Amin M. Vahdat - In Proceedings of the 18th ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles (SOSP , 2001
"... Interact hosting centers serve multiple service sites from a common hardware base. This paper presents the design and implementation of an architecture for resource management in a hosting center op-erating system, with an emphasis on energy as a driving resource management issue for large server cl ..."

clusters. The goals are to provi-sion server resources for co-hosted services in a way that automati-cally adapts to offered load, improve the energy efficiency of server dusters by dynamically resizing the active server set, and respond to power supply disruptions or thermal events by degrading service

Search and replication in unstructured peer-to-peer networks

by Qin Lv, Pei Cao, Edith Cohen, Kai Li, Scott Shenker , 2002
"... Abstract Decentralized and unstructured peer-to-peer networks such as Gnutella are attractive for certain applicationsbecause they require no centralized directories and no precise control over network topologies and data placement. However, the flooding-based query algorithm used in Gnutella does n ..."

not scale; each individual query gener-ates a large amount of traffic and, as it grows, the system quickly becomes overwhelmed with the query-induced load. This paper explores, through simulation, various alternatives to gnutella's query algorithm, data replicationmethod, and network topology. We

The SPLASH-2 programs: Characterization and methodological considerations

by Steven Cameron Woo, Moriyoshi Ohara, Evan Torrie, Jaswinder Pal Singh, Anoop Gupta - INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE , 1995
"... The SPLASH-2 suite of parallel applications has recently been released to facilitate the study of centralized and distributed shared-address-space multiprocessors. In this context, this paper has two goals. One is to quantitatively characterize the SPLASH-2 programs in terms of fundamental propertie ..."

properties and architectural interactions that are important to understand them well. The properties we study include the computational load balance, communication to computation ratio and traffic needs, important working set sizes, and issues related to spatial locality, as well as how these properties

An Energy-Efficient MAC Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

by Wei Ye, John Heidemann, Deborah Estrin , 2002
"... This paper proposes S-MAC, a medium-access control (MAC) protocol designed for wireless sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices. A network of these devices will collaborate for a common application such as environmental monitoring. We expect senso ..."

, on a source node, an 802.11-like MAC consumes 2--6 times more energy than S-MAC for traffic load with messages sent every 1-10s.

A Hierarchical Internet Object Cache

by Anawat Chankhunthod , Peter B. Danzig, Chuck Neerdaels, Michael F. Schwartz, Kurt J. Worrell - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1996 USENIX TECHNICAL CONFERENCE , 1995
"... This paper discusses the design andperformance of a hierarchical proxy-cache designed to make Internet information systems scale better. The design was motivated by our earlier trace-driven simulation study of Internet traffic. We believe that the conventional wisdom, that the benefits of hierarch ..."

Split Multi-path Routing with Maximally Disjoint Paths in Ad Hoc Networks

by Sung-ju Lee - In Proc. Int. IEEE Conf. on Comm., 2001
"... Abstract – In recent years, routing has been the most focused area in ad hoc networks research. On-demand routing in particular, is widely developed in bandwidth constrained mobile wireless ad hoc networks because of its effectiveness and efficiency. Most proposed on-demand routing protocols however ..."

process and control message overhead. Our protocol uses a per-packet allocation scheme to distribute data packets into multiple paths of active sessions. This traffic distribution efficiently utilizes available network resources and prevents nodes of the route from being congested in heavily loaded

The iSLIP Scheduling Algorithm for Input-Queued Switches

by Nick McKeown , 1999
"... An increasing number of high performance internetworking protocol routers, LAN and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switches use a switched backplane based on a crossbar switch. Most often, these systems use input queues to hold packets waiting to traverse the switching fabric. It is well known th ..."

On Positive Harris Recurrence of Multiclass Queueing Networks: A Unified Approach Via Fluid Limit Models

by J. G. Dai - Annals of Applied Probability , 1995
"... It is now known that the usual traffic condition (the nominal load being less than one at each station) is not sufficient for stability for a multiclass open queueing network. Although there has been some progress in establishing the stability conditions for a multiclass network, there is no unified ..."
