RSS measuringOn Active Measurements in QoS-Enabled IP Networks
White Paper Many performance monitoring applications rely on active measurement techniques, which involve injecting traffic into the network and then measuring relevant characteristics of that traffic. Network monitoring applications are often used by service... [04 Aug 2008]
The Design and Performance of an Adaptive CORBA Load Balancing Service
White Paper Finally, they present the results of benchmark experiments that evaluate the pros and cons of different load balancing strategies empirically by measuring the overhead of each strategy and showing how well each strategy balances system load. [04 Aug 2008]
GRE Encapsulated Multicast Probing: A Scalable Technique for Measuring One-Way Loss
White Paper Internet service providers increasingly wish to monitor the performance of customer traffic within their networks. This paper addresses the problem of scalably performing one-way loss measurements across specific network paths. [18 Jul 2008]
Live video broadcast: Data Loss Prevention from the Inside Out
White Paper Discover why monitoring and measuring can be just as important as prevention and see new ways to safeguard data on USB keys and other portable storage devices. Firewalls and intrusion prevention systems can protect your network from outside threats... [17 Jul 2008]
QoS Controlling for IBM Network Processor Based Gigabit Metro Switch
White Paper Contemporary many NPs have diffserv-based intrinsic QoS technologies which are multi-field classification, DiffServ attributes marking, flow metering, flow measuring, packet dropping, packet scheduling, DSCP(DiffServ Code Point) remarking, etc. [17 Jul 2008]
Measuring Bandwidth Signatures of Network Paths
White Paper This paper proposes a practical and efficient technique, Forecaster, to estimate the end-to-end available bandwidth, and the speed of the most congested (tight) link along an Internet path. Forecaster is practical since it does not assume any a... [11 Jul 2008]
System Capability Effects on Algorithms for Network Bandwidth Measurement
White Paper A large number of tools that attempt to estimate network capacity and available bandwidth use algorithms that are based on measuring packet inter-arrival time. However in recent years network bandwidth has become faster than system Input/Output (I... [11 Jul 2008]
The Failure of "The Failure of Poisson Modeling" for Internet Bandwidth Measurements
White Paper As an example, the paper shows that the end-to-end available bandwidth must have finite variance, outline a method for measuring it, and present some experimental data. There is a classic paper, which claims that many parameters of network traffic... [11 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing on a Grid Using Data Characteristics
White Paper In this paper, an efficient partitioning scheme is developed for a grid environment to increase performance by measuring the characteristics of the data. It designs a model that simulates a real life distributed grid environment, and tests this... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing Distributed Inverted Files
White Paper Measuring load balance is avoided at the search engine side because this can lead to imprecise evaluation. This paper present a comparison of scheduling algorithms applied to the context of load balancing the query traffic on distributed inverted les. [10 Jul 2008]
LOBS: Load Balancing for Similarity Peer-to-Peer Structures
White Paper LOBS is based on the following principles: measuring the computational load of the peers, separation of the logical and the physical level of the system, and detailed analysis of the load source to exploit either data relocation or data replication. [10 Jul 2008]
End-to-End Available Bandwidth: Measurement Methodology, Dynamics, and Relation With TCP Throughput
White Paper The paper describes an end-to-end methodology, called Self-Loading Periodic Streams (SLoPS), for measuring avail-bw. The available bandwidth (avail-bw) in a network path is of major importance in congestion control, streaming applications, quality... [10 Jul 2008]
TechNet Webcast: "Ask the IT Security Expert" Series: Assessing and Measuring Security - Level 200
White Paper This webcast brings together some of the sharpest security-focused Microsoft IT professionals to provide expert answers to the questions about assessing and measuring security in the environment. This webcast will begin with a brief presentation... [10 Jul 2008]
Tradeoffs Between Stretch Factor and Load Balancing Ratio in Routing on Growth Restricted Graphs
White Paper This paper study the tradeoff between two important quality measures of routing algorithms for wireless networks and growth-restricted networks: the stretch factor for measuring the path length and the load balancing ratio for measuring the load... [10 Jul 2008]
DNS Based Load Balancing With Fault Tolerance
White Paper They range from local switch based load balancers to sophisticated appliances measuring server performance and distributing load according to available resources. There are several load-balancing systems on the market. [10 Jul 2008]
