meetings are increasingly common, but they are often less effective than face-to-face meetings. This paper describes the user research behind the Sun Labs TM Meeting Suite, summarizes the core features, and describes a set of new features including support for high-fidelity audio and confidential

Sun has recently announced it will support a form of “best effort” hardware transactional memory in its forthcoming multicore processor, code-named “Rock”. In this paper, we report on early results and experience from an exploration of software mechanisms that exploit this feature in a variety

A Framework for Integrated Services Operation over Diffserv Networks Status of this Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2000). All Rights Reserved. The Integrated Services (Intserv) architecture provides a means for the delivery of end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) to applications over heterogeneous networks. To support this end-to-end model, the Intserv architecture must be supported over a wide variety of different types of network elements. In this context, a network that supports Differentiated Services (Diffserv) may be viewed as a network element in the total end-to-end path. This document

Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (1998). All Rights Reserved. This document defines an architecture for implementing scalable service differentiation in the Internet. This architecture achieves scalability by aggregating traffic classification state which is conveyed by means of IP-layer packet marking using the DS field [DSFIELD]. Packets are classified and marked to receive a particular per-hop forwarding behavior on nodes along their path. Sophisticated classification, marking, policing, and shaping operations need only

Status of this Memo Neighbor Discovery for IP Version 6 (IPv6) This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards " (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (1998). All Rights Reserved. This document specifies the Neighbor Discovery protocol for IP Version 6. IPv6 nodes on the same link use Neighbor Discovery to discover each other’s presence, to determine each other’s link-layer addresses, to find routers and to maintain reachability information

The NEon system offers an integrated approach to architecting, operating, and managing network services. NEon uses policy rules defining the operation of individual network services and produces a unified set of rules that generic packet-processing engines enforce.

In this paper, we describe TSOtool, a program to check the behavior of the memory subsystem in a shared memory multiprocessor. TSOtool runs pseudo-randomly generated programs with data races on a system compliant with the Total Store Order (TSO) memory consistency model; it then checks the results of the program against the formal TSO specification. Such analysis can expose subtle memory errors like data corruption, atomicity violation and illegal instruction ordering. While verifying TSO compliance completely is an NPcomplete problem, we describe a new polynomial time algorithm which is incorporated in TSOtool. In spite of being incomplete, it has been successful in detecting several bugs in the design of commercial microprocessors and systems, during both pre-silicon and post-silicon phases of validation.

Status of this Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. This document describes the applicability of RSVP along with the Integrated Services protocols and other components of resource reservation and offers guidelines for deployment of resource reservation at this time. This document accompanies the first submission of RSVP and integrated services specifications onto the Internet standards track.

This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2002). All Rights Reserved. This document defines two extensions (Select and Sort) for the Service Location Protocol (SLP). These extensions allow a User Agent (UA) to request that the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) entries in a Service Reply (SrvRply) be limited to the specified number, or be sorted according to the specified sort key list. Using these two extensions together can facilitate discovering the best match, such as finding a service that has the maximum speed or the minimum load. 1.
