Receiver-driven Layered Multicast

by Steven McCanne, Van Jacobson, Martin Vetterli , 1996
"... State of the art, real-time, rate-adaptive, multimedia applications adjust their transmission rate to match the available network capacity. Unfortunately, this source-based rate-adaptation performs poorly in a heterogeneous multicast environment because there is no single target rate — the conflicti ..."

with a layered transmission system. By selectively forwarding subsets of layers at constrained network links, each user receives the best quality signal that the network can deliver. We and others have proposed that selective-forwarding be carried out using multiple IP-Multicast groups where each

Scalable Application Layer Multicast

by Suman Banerjee, Bobby Bhattacharjee, Christopher Kommareddy , 2002
"... We describe a new scalable application-layer multicast protocol, specifically designed for low-bandwidth, data streaming applications with large receiver sets. Our scheme is based upon a hierarchical clustering of the application-layer multicast peers and can support a number of different data deliv ..."

delivery trees with desirable properties. We present extensive simulations of both our protocol and the Narada application-layer multicast protocol over Internet-like topologies. Our results show that for groups of size 32 or more, our protocol has lower link stress (by about 25%), improved or similar

Requirements for Internet Hosts - Communication Layers

by R. Braden - RFC1812] [RFC2277] Baker, F., "Requirements for IP Version 4 Routers", RFC 1812 , 1989
"... This RFC is an official specification for the Internet community. It incorporates by reference, amends, corrects, and supplements the primary protocol standards documents relating to hosts. Distribution of this document is unlimited. Summary This is one RFC of a pair that defines and discusses the r ..."

Distortion invariant object recognition in the dynamic link architecture

by Martin Lades, Jan C. Vorbrüggen, Joachim Buhmann, Christoph v. d. Malsburg, Rolf P. Würtz, Wolfgang Konen - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTERS , 1993
"... We present an object recognition system based on the Dynamic Link Architecture, which is an extension to classical Artificial Neural Networks. The Dynamic Link Architecture ex-ploits correlations in the fine-scale temporal structure of cellular signals in order to group neurons dynamically into hig ..."

A comparison of mechanisms for improving TCP performance over wireless links

by Hari Balakrishnan, Venkata N. Padmanabhan, Srinivasan Seshan, Randy H. Katz - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1997
"... Reliable transport protocols such as TCP are tuned to perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. However, networks with wireless and other lossy links also suffer from significant losses due to bit errors and handoffs. TCP responds to all losses by i ..."

-to-end protocols, where loss recovery is performed by the sender; link-layer protocols, that provide local reliability; and split-connection protocols, that break the end-to-end connection into two parts at the base station. We present the results of several experiments performed in both LAN and WAN environments

Approximation by Superpositions of a Sigmoidal Function

by G. Cybenko , 1989
"... In this paper we demonstrate that finite linear combinations of compositions of a fixed, univariate function and a set ofaffine functionals can uniformly approximate any continuous function of n real variables with support in the unit hypercube; only mild conditions are imposed on the univariate fun ..."

In particular, we show that arbitrary decision regions can be arbitrarily well approximated by continuous feedforward neural networks with only a single internal, hidden layer and any

A Case for End System Multicast

by Yang-hua Chu, Sanjay G. Rao, Srinivasan Seshan, Hui Zhang - in Proceedings of ACM Sigmetrics , 2000
"... Abstract — The conventional wisdom has been that IP is the natural protocol layer for implementing multicast related functionality. However, more than a decade after its initial proposal, IP Multicast is still plagued with concerns pertaining to scalability, network management, deployment and suppor ..."

I-TCP: Indirect TCP for mobile hosts

by Ajay Bakre, B. R. Badrinath , 1995
"... Abstract — IP-based solutions to accommodate mobile hosts within existing internetworks do not address the distinctive features of wireless mobile computing. IP-based transport protocols thus suffer from poor performance when a mobile host communicates with a host on the fixed network. This is cause ..."
Abstract - Cited by 614 (7 self) - Add to MetaCart
. This is caused by frequent disruptions in network layer connectivity due to — i) mobility and ii) unreliable nature of the wireless link. We describe the design and implementation of I-TCP, which is an indirect transport layer protocol for mobile hosts. I-TCP utilizes the resources of Mobility Support Routers

Multicast Routing in Datagram Internetworks and Extended LANs

by Stephen E. Deering, David R. Cheriton - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1990
"... Multicasting, the transmission of a packet to a group of hosts, is an important service for improving the efficiency and robustness of distributed systems and applications. Although multicast capability is available and widely used in local area networks, when those LANs are interconnected by store- ..."

describe modifications to the single-spanning-tree routing algorithm commonly used by link-layer bridges, to reduce the costs of multicasting in large extended LANs. Finally, we discuss how the use of multicast scope control and hierarchical multicast routing allows the multicast service to scale up
