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 ..."

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 ..."

Congestion control for high bandwidth-delay product networks

by Dina Katabi, Mark Handley, Charlie Rohrs - SIGCOMM '02 , 2002
"... Theory and experiments show that as the per-flow product of bandwidth and latency increases, TCP becomes inefficient and prone to instability, regardless of the queuing scheme. This failing becomes increasingly important as the Internet evolves to incorporate very high-bandwidth optical links and mo ..."

and more large-delay satellite links. To address this problem, we develop a novel approach to Internet congestion control that outperforms TCP in conventional environments, and remains efficient, fair, scalable, and stable as the bandwidth-delay product increases.

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, ..."

, of the properties of TCP/IP in a regime where: 1) the bandwidth-delay product of the network is high compared to the buffering in the network and 2) packets may incur random loss (e.g., due to transient congestion caused by fluctuations in real-time traffic, or wireless links in the path of the connection

An algebraic approach to network coding

by Ralf Koetter, Muriel Médard - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 2003
"... We take a new look at the issue of network capacity. It is shown that network coding is an essential ingredient in achieving the capacity of a network. Building on recent work by Li et al., who examined the network capacity of multicast networks, we extend the network coding framework to arbitrary n ..."
Abstract - Cited by 858 (88 self) - Add to MetaCart
. For the multicast setup we prove that there exist coding strategies that provide maximally robust networks and that do not require adaptation of the network interior to the failure pattern in question. The results are derived for both delay-free networks and networks with delays.

Token flow control

by Amit Kumar, et al.
"... As companies move towards many-core chips, an efficient onchip communication fabric to connect these cores assumes critical importance. To address limitations to wire delay scalability and increasing bandwidth demands, state-of-the-art on-chip networks use a modular packet-switched design with route ..."

Our detailed implementation analysis shows TFC to be highly scalable and realizable at an aggressive target clock cycle delay of 21FO4 for large networks while requiring low hardware complexity. Evaluations of TFC using both

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 ..."

by many active connections with a wide range of round-trip times, tolerances of delay, throughput requirements, etc. Decisions about the duration and magnitude of transient congestion to be allowed at the gateway are best made by the gateway itself. The method of monitoring the average queue size

Consistent hashing and random trees: Distributed caching protocols for relieving hot spots on the World Wide Web

by David Karger, Eric Lehman, Tom Leighton, Matthew Levine, Daniel Lewin, Rina Panigrahy - IN PROC. 29TH ACM SYMPOSIUM ON THEORY OF COMPUTING (STOC , 1997
"... We describe a family of caching protocols for distrib-uted networks that can be used to decrease or eliminate the occurrence of hot spots in the network. Our protocols are particularly designed for use with very large networks such as the Internet, where delays caused by hot spots can be severe, and ..."

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 ..."
Abstract - Cited by 587 (22 self) - Add to MetaCart
, shared program variables are annotated with their expected access pattern, and these annotations are then used by the runtime system to choose a consistency protocol best suited to that access pattern. Release consistency allows Munin to mask network latency and reduce the number of messages required
