Abstract
We have developed a new traffic measuring tool and applied it to the real-time simulation of a network. It monitors IP traffic on an ATM link and continuously transfers the length and timestamp of each IP packet to a post-processing system. The post-processing system receives the [...]Abstract
This study uses regression analysis to evaluate long-run traffic management system performance. Three important traffic management systems in the Twin Cities metro area - Ramp Metering, Variable Message Signs (VMS), and Freeway Service Patrol (the Highway Helper Program) were evaluated [...]Abstract
In the Internet, the traffic crosses between two to eight autonomous systems before reaching its destination. Consequently, end-to-end quality of service requires provisioning across more than one domain. This paper proposes a new scheme for introducing MPLS technology into an inter-domain [...]Abstract
We consider the problem of allocating bandwidth to competing flows in an MPLS network, subject to constraints on fairness, efficiency, and administrative complexity. The aggregate traffic between a source and a destination, called a flow, is mapped to label switched paths (LSPs) across [...]Abstract
In this paper, to improve the burst loss performance, we actively avoid contentions by proposing a novel congestion control scheme that operates based on the highest (called peak load) of the loads of all links over the path between each pair of ingress and egress nodes in an Optical [...]Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of pricing-based distributed resource allocation via scheduling in a communication network. Introducing the temporal aspect in the resource allocation problem presents new challenges e.g. in accounting for the durations and deadlines of the resource [...]Abstract
Admission control in wired networks has been traditionally used as a way to control traffic congestion and guarantee quality of service. Here, we propose an admission control mechanism which aims to keep the power consumption at the lowest possible level by restricting the more energy-demanding [...]Abstract
Part 1: Autonomic and Decentralized Management International audience Energy efficiency has become a major research topic in the Internet community as a result of unprecedented rise in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector. One typical approach towards energy [...]
