For collective communications, the upper limit of a network's capacity is its liquid throughput. The liquid throughput corresponds to the flow of a liquid in an equivalent network of pipes. However, in communication networks, the aggregate throughput of a ...
Floating Car Data (FCD) is becoming a more and more popular technique for travel time measurements in road networks. Nevertheless, FCD is a sampling technique which requires controlling the statistical properties of link travel times to obtain accurate est ...

This paper addresses efficient packet loss recovery by retransmission in window-based congestion control protocols. It builds on explicit congestion control mechanisms to decouple the packet loss detection from the congestion feedback signals. Implicit alg ...
A method is proposed for the optimal scheduling of collective data exchanges relying on the knowledge of the underlying network topology. The concept of liquid schedules is introduced. Liquid schedules ensure the maximal utilization of a network's bottlene ...
Numerous approaches have been proposed to manage Quality of Service in the Internet. However, none of them was successfully deployed in a commercial IP backbone, mostly because of their complexity. In this paper, we take advantage of the excess network ban ...
We measure and analyze the single-hop packet delay through operational routers in the Sprint Internet protocol (IP) backbone network. After presenting our delay measurements through a single router for OC-3 and OC-12 link speeds, we propose a methodology t ...
Structured peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are considered as the next generation application backbone on the Internet. An important problem of these systems is load balancing in the presence of non-uniform data distributions. In this paper we propose a complete ...
The synthesis of novel hybrid hydrogels by stepwise copolymn. of multi-arm vinyl sulfone-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) macromers and a-w cysteine oligopeptides via Michael-type addns. is described. Crosslinking kinetics, studied by in situ rheometry, ca ...
We present a model of TCP flows suited to Internet backbone traffic, where links are usually not congested. We characterize the traffic using information on flows, i.e., arrival time, size, and duration. The major contribution of this paper is a model capt ...
