RSS functionHow Bad Is Selfish Routing?
White Paper A network, a rate of traffic between each pair of nodes, and a latency function for each edge specifying the time needed to traverse the edge given its congestion is given; the objective is to route traffic such that the sum of all travel times... [11 Jul 2008]
Utility Proportional Fair Bandwidth Allocation: An Optimization Oriented Approach
White Paper With the concept of utility functions, where each source uses a utility function to evaluate the benefit from achieving a transmission rate, it is interpreted the resource allocation problem as a global optimization problem. [11 Jul 2008]
Path Selection and Bandwidth Allocation in MPLS Networks
White Paper The optimization is based upon the minimization of a non-linear objective function which under light load simplifies to OSPF routing with link metrics equal to the link propagation delays. Multi-protocol Label Switching extends the IP destination... [11 Jul 2008]
Routing Networks for Distributed Hash Tables
White Paper Two new protocols are described which improve average latency as a function of out-degree. Routing topologies for distributed hashing in peer-to-peer networks are classified into two categories: deterministic and randomized. [11 Jul 2008]
Anytime Coding on the Infinite Bandwidth AWGN Channel: A Sequential Semi-Orthogonal Code
White Paper Maximum-likelihood decoding of the code results in an exponentially small probability of error as a function of tolerated receiver delay and thus eventually a zero probability of error on every transmitted bit. [11 Jul 2008]
Scalability of Two Reliable Multicast Protocols
White Paper The paper also shows that SRM latencies can be very large and that latency distributions are unstable as a function of group size and network topology. Growing demand for multicast communication in large network settings has focused attention on... [11 Jul 2008]
Locality Preserving Load Balancing in Structured P2P System
White Paper Instead of using consistent hash function of Chord, proposed algorithm uses load-balancing function that support locality-preserving. Emerging P2P applications such as telematics require an ability to efficiently discover information using partial... [10 Jul 2008]
A Framework for Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing in Heterogeneous Cluster
White Paper Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing (DDLB) is an important system function destined to distribute workload among available processors to improve throughput and/or execution times of parallel computer in Cluster Computing. [10 Jul 2008]
Locality-Aware and Churn-Resilient Load Balancing Algorithms in Structured Peer-to-Peer Networks
White Paper Structured peer-to-peer overlay networks like Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) map data items to the network based on a consistent hashing function. Such mapping for data distribution has an inherent load balance problem. [10 Jul 2008]
Efficient, Proximity-Aware Load Balancing for Structured P2P Systems
White Paper Structured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems address the load balancing issue in rather naive way, by simply resorting to the uniformity of the hash function utilized to generate object IDs. Such a random choice of object IDs could result in O(logN) load... [10 Jul 2008]

Using sFlow and InMon Traffic Server for Intrusion Detection and Other Security Applications
White Paper With organizations becoming more and more dependent on network infrastructure for business critical applications, unauthorized access to networks can have a significant impact on the ability of a business to function. [10 Jul 2008]
White Paper: Tips for Writing Good Use Cases
White Paper In this IBM Rational white paper "Tips for writing good use cases," IBM requirements evangelist Jim Heumann explores the history and function of the use case, then provides a set of tips to help teams incorporate best practices in use-case driven... [10 Jul 2008]
Configuration Managements for BGP/MPLS VPN and DiffServ-aware-MPLS VPN
White Paper Since the request of reliable information exchange through Internet is increasing explosively, and the MPLS network can offer efficient traffic-engineering function, the necessity of MPLS VPN is also increasing rapidly. [10 Jul 2008]
Joint MAC-Aware Routing and Load Balancing in Mesh Networks
White Paper Since the underlying objective function has high combinatorial complexity, MaLB uses a greedy approach. Past approaches to routing in mesh networks either do not account for the MAC-layer interactions between the links in a tractable manner, or are... [10 Jul 2008]
