Predicting Short-Transfer Latency From TCP Arcana: A Trace-Based Validation
White Paper Several techniques have been proposed to predict the latency of short TCP transfers based on online measurements of characteristics of the current TCP connection, or of recent connections from the same client. [11 Aug 2008]
Performance Measurements of MPLS Traffic Engineering and QoS
White Paper Providing Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic engineering capabilities in the Internet is very essential, especially to support the requirements of real-time, as well as mission critical applications. [18 Jul 2008]
GRE Encapsulated Multicast Probing: A Scalable Technique for Measuring One-Way Loss
White Paper This paper addresses the problem of scalably performing one-way loss measurements across specific network paths. Internet service providers increasingly wish to monitor the performance of customer traffic within their networks. [18 Jul 2008]
QoS Monitoring System
White Paper The IQ1000 QoS Probe captures and measures the users' actual packets with passive measurements, and then transmits the measured data to the QoS Manager Software. With the explosive growth of the Internet, Quality of Service (QoS) over the networks... [18 Jul 2008]
Gain Uniformity Optimization of SOA-Based Optical Packet Switching Nodes for Performance and Scalability Improvements
White Paper The methodology is tested and verified using a commercial device with measurements performed on the gain, noise figure, optical signal-to-noise ratio, and power penalty. A design methodology is proposed in this paper that can potentially provide... [18 Jul 2008]
The BGRP Plus Architecture for Dynamic Inter-Domain IP QoS
White Paper Finally a trial implementation and some performance measurements are presented. This paper describes a scalable inter-domain resource control architecture for DiffServ networks. The architecture is called BGRP Plus, as it extends the previously... [18 Jul 2008]
Cognitive Packet Networks: QoS and Performance
White Paper Its performance is detailed via several measurements, and the resulting QoS is compared with that of the IP routing protocol under identical conditions showing the gain resulting from the use of CPN. Reliability, security, scalability and QoS... [18 Jul 2008]
On Handling QoS Traffic in Wireless Sensor Networks
White Paper Transmission of data in such cases requires both energy and QoS aware network management in order to ensure efficient usage of the sensor resources and effective access to the gathered measurements. Many new routing and MAC layer protocols have... [18 Jul 2008]
AC Algorithms in AQUILA QoS IP Network
White Paper Moreover, this method is supported by the declarations about the peak bit rate as well as by the measurements of mean bit rate on aggregate flow level. This paper presents the Admission Control (AC) algorithms that are implemented in the prototype... [18 Jul 2008]
Autonomous Smart Routing for Network QoS
White Paper Measurements on an experimental test-bed are provided to show how the system responds to the choice of QoS goals. This paper presents an autonomous adaptive Quality of Service (QoS) driven network system called a "Cognitive Packet Network" (CPN... [17 Jul 2008]
The Failure of "The Failure of Poisson Modeling" for Internet Bandwidth Measurements
White Paper There is a classic paper, which claims that many parameters of network traffic are best modeled by stochastic distributions with infinite variance. The author believes that although this paper is correct, it has commonly been overinterpreted. [11 Jul 2008]
A Min-Plus System Interpretation of Bandwidth Estimation
White Paper Significant research has been dedicated to methods that estimate the available bandwidth in a network from traffic measurements. While estimation methods abound, less progress has been made on achieving a foundational understanding of the bandwidth... [11 Jul 2008]
Scalability Analysis of Rate Adaptation Techniques in Congested IEEE 802.11 Networks: An ORBIT Testbed Comparative Study
White Paper Recent real-world measurements in dense congested radio environments have pointed out the inefficiency of frame error-based bit-rate adaptation mechanisms, which significantly reduce network capacity by misinterpreting frame errors due to collisions. [11 Jul 2008]
Scalable Routing Overlay Networks
White Paper This paper describes a distributed service that constructs a topologically-representative mesh using only passive measurements and static topology information. By eliminating mesh edges that are not likely to be selected by a high-level routing... [11 Jul 2008]
On Cascades of Resonators for High-Bandwidth Integrated Optical Interconnection Networks
White Paper The technique used here has been verified with single-ring experimental measurements. The power penalty characteristics of high-speed optical signals transmitted through a variety of filters based on multiple microring resonator devices are... [11 Jul 2008]
