White Paper Founded in 1953, Texas Plywood and Lumber Company, Inc.supplies builders with doors and trim for houses that range from starter to one-of-a-kind custom homes. Locating signed customer invoices became a challenge within Texas Plywood's accounting... [18 Jul 2008]
Early Drop and Wavelength Grouping Schemes for Providing Absolute QoS Differentiation in Optical Burst-Switched Networks
White Paper A number of schemes have been proposed to support QoS in Optical Burst-Switched (OBS) networks. Most schemes only support relative QoS differentiation instead of absolute QoS guarantee. However, absolute QoS differentiation is a basic requirement... [18 Jul 2008]
A Near Optimal Scheduler for Switch-Memory-Switch Routers
White Paper Routers are ubiquitous in modern computing, appearing in wide-area networks, multiprocessor servers, and data storage systems. Modern routers achieve high performance by solving computationally intensive tasks using custom hardware. [18 Jul 2008]
Threshold-Based Burst Assembly Policies for QoS Support in Optical Burst-Switched Networks
White Paper This paper proposes a threshold-based burst assembly scheme in conjunction with a burst segmentation policy to provide QoS in Optical Burst Switched (OBS) networks. Bursts are assembled at the network edge by collecting packets that have the same... [18 Jul 2008]
A Distributed System Reference Architecture for Adaptive QoS and Resource Management
White Paper This paper deals with large, distributed real-time systems that have execution times and resource utilizations which cannot be characterized a priori. The motivation for ones work is provided in part by the characteristics of combat systems. [18 Jul 2008]
Peak Power Control for a QoS Capable On-Chip Network
White Paper In recent years integrating multiprocessors in a single chip is emerging for supporting various scientific and commercial applications, with diverse demands to the underlying on-chip networks. Communication traffic of these applications makes... [17 Jul 2008]
Achieving QoS for IEEE 802.16 in Mesh Mode
White Paper The MAC protocol of IEEE 802.16 standard specifies scheduling mechanisms about mesh mode in detail, while its channel resource allocation and reservation management protocols are open for further standardization. [17 Jul 2008]
3 jumps on board Symbian Foundation
News The original members of the Symbian Foundation are Nokia, Symbian, Motorola, AT&T, NTT DoCoMo, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Vodafone.s director of products, Fergal Walker, said yesterday: "3 is pleased to... [11 Jul 2008]
Analytical Model and Performance Analysis of a Network Interface Card
White Paper One of the key concerns for practitioners and academicians is that there are almost no platforms based on analytical models for testing the impact of various architectural and design modifications for intelligent Network Interface Cards (NICs). [11 Jul 2008]
Addressing Heterogeneity and Scalability in Layered Multicast Congestion Control
White Paper This paper designs SIM, a protocol that integrates three distinct mechanisms - Selective participation, Intra-group transmission adjustment, and Menu adaptation - to solve the general multicast congestion control problem. [11 Jul 2008]
Removing Architectural Bottlenecks to the Scalability of Speculative Parallelization
White Paper Speculative thread-level parallelization is a promising way to speed up codes that compilers fail to parallelize. While several speculative parallelization schemes have been proposed for different machine sizes and types of codes, the results so... [11 Jul 2008]
Shared Protection Routing Algorithm for Optical Network
White Paper In a connection-oriented network such as an all-optical transport network, shared protection provides the same level of protection against single path failures as dedicated protection, with potentially higher network utilization. [11 Jul 2008]
Local Detection and Recovery From Multi-Failure Patterns in MPLS-TE Networks
White Paper MPLS Fast Reroute advocates local protection mechanisms to rapidly reroute traffic onto pre-computed and signaled bypass tunnels. When the network is subject to multiple element failures, it becomes challenging to handle all the possible failure... [11 Jul 2008]
Local Recovery Solutions From Multi-Link Failures in MPLS-TE Networks With Probable Failure Patterns
White Paper MPLS TE Fast Reroute proposes a local protection mechanism to quickly reroute protected TE LSPs onto pre-computed and signaled bypass tunnels. This paper explores the case of multiple network element failure scenarios. [11 Jul 2008]
A Heuristic Routing Algorithm for Shared Protection in Connection-Oriented Network
White Paper In a connection-oriented network, shared protection provides the same level of protection against single path failures as dedicated protection, with potentially higher network utilization. This paper lists the requirements of path protection and... [11 Jul 2008]
