White Paper This paper describes and motivates the simplifications and assumptions made to TOPP. This paper describes the active available bandwidth measurement tool DietTopp. It measures the available bandwidth and the link capacity on an end-to-end path... [11 Jul 2008]
Measuring Bandwidth Signatures of Network Paths
White Paper Forecaster is practical since it does not assume any a priori knowledge about the measured path, does not make any simplifying assumptions about the nature of cross-traffic, does not assume the ability to capture accurate packet dispersions or... [11 Jul 2008]
Gov't data retention - how much is too much?
News To centralise all that data for them to data mine….I do not trust people looking at that to not look at mine or your habits and make the wrong assumptions. The Earl of Erroll, Merlin Hay, has warned against holding increasing amounts of data - such... [10 Jul 2008]
Dynamic Load Balancing in Parallel Queueing Systems: Stability and Optimal Control
White Paper Under very mild assumptions, stability (and instability) conditions are developed for this system via a fluid model. This paper considers a system of parallel queues with dedicated arrival streams. At each decision epoch a decision-maker can move... [10 Jul 2008]
Performance and Implementation of Dynamic Frequency Hopping in Limited-Bandwidth Cellular Systems
White Paper Sensitivity to occupancy, Rayleigh fading assumptions, number of carriers, voice activity, and measurement errors are studied. This paper evaluates the performance of recently proposed Dynamic Frequency Hopping (DFH) when applied to cellular... [10 Jul 2008]
Before You Tie a Ribbon Around the Operating Plan
White Paper These ten questions will be explored in this webcast to assess the overall effectiveness of the annual planning process and to highlight best practices, including rolling business outlooks, scenario planning, employee engagement, and a focus on... [09 Jul 2008]
A Bandwidth-on-Demand System Case-Study Based on GN2 Project Experiences
White Paper This paper presents the assumptions and decisions made so far, their background, pros and cons, and their consequences for the further project development. The JRA3 Activity of GN2 project is heading to implement a multi-domain, heterogeneous... [08 Jul 2008]
Embedded Linux - Ready for Real-Time
White Paper This paper responds to such concerns about Linux performance, questioning some basic assumptions about embedded and real-time, and describing how Linux can be applied to solve a variety of real-time problems. [03 Jul 2008]
Performing Effective MTBF Comparisons for Data Center Infrastructure
White Paper When the variables and assumptions behind the numbers are unknown or are misinterpreted, bad decisions are inevitable. This paper explains how MTBF can be effectively used as one of several factors for specification and selection of systems, by... [30 Jun 2008]
Mean Time Between Failure: Explanation and Standards
White Paper MTBF is largely based on assumptions and definition of failure and attention to these details are paramount to proper interpretation. "Mean time between failure" is a reliability term used loosely throughout many industries and has become widely... [30 Jun 2008]
Number of Processes and Process ID Values on HP-UX
White Paper Some existing applications might be coded with built-in assumptions on old process and PID limits. Effective in HP-UX 11i version 3, the maximum number of allowed processes is greater than in prior versions. [05 Jun 2008]
Try, Try Again: Replication-Based Variance Estimation Methods for Survey Data Analysis in SAS 9.2
White Paper Complex survey samples are constructed with selection schemes that affect the usual random assumptions, so SAS/STAT software provides specialized procedures to analyze them: SURVEYMEANS, SURVEYFREQ, SURVEYREG, and SURVEYLOGISTIC for means... [31 May 2008]
Peter Cochrane's Blog: Energy shortages loom
Comment Between 10 and 20 years ago designers and architects made assumptions about the use of office space and people's working practices. Fast-forward to today and those assumptions appear increasingly erroneous. [16 May 2008]
3Com Solutions: Prescription for a Vital Network Health Check
White Paper However, a network health check, performed by a third party with specialized equipment, can augment the IT manager's position by providing new data to back assumptions, a fresh perspective on the network architecture and insight into the impact of... [09 May 2008]
Building a Quick and Simple WebSphere for z/OS V6 Runtime Environment: A Step-by-Step Cookbook Approach
White Paper In order to keep this configuration simple, it had to make some assumptions. One of the key assumptions was that this would be a "Standalone" server, not a "Network Deployment" configuration. This paper assist those people who have never before... [30 Apr 2008]
