In this work, we address the transport of high quality voice over the Internet with a particular concern for delays. Transport of interactive audio over IP networks often suffers from packet loss and variations in the network delay (jitter). Forward Error ...
In this work, we define a novel Internet service, called ABE (Alternative Best-Effort), which allows interactive multimedia applications to receive low queuing delay within the existing best-effort Internet. We then develop and analyse a number of innovati ...
We consider a queuing problem in which both the service rate of a finite-buffer queue and its rate of arrivals are functions of the same partially observed Markov chain. Basic performance indices of this device, such as long term throughput and loss rates, ...
The min-plus theory of greedy shapers has been developed after Cruz`s results on the calculus of network delays. An example of greedy shaper is the buffered leaky bucket controller. The theory of greedy shapers establishes a number of properties ...
Atomic broadcast primitives are often proposed as a mechanism to allow fault-tolerant cooperation between sites in a distributed system. Unfortunately, the delay incurred before a message can be delivered makes it difficult to implement high performance, s ...
Some of the known results for delivering deterministic bounds on end-to-end queuing delay in networks with constant packet sizes and constant link rates rely on the concept of Route Interference. Namely, it is required to know the number of flows joining o ...
We develop a joint playout buffer and Forward Error Correction (FEC) adjustment scheme for Internet Telephony, which incorporates the impact of end-to-end delay on the perceived audio quality. We show that it provides better quality than the adjustment sch ...
We consider stochastic guarantees for networks with aggregate scheduling, in particular, Expedited Forwarding (EF). Our approach is based on the assumption that a node can be abstracted by a service curve, and the input flows are regulated individually at ...
We develop a joint playout buffer and Forward Error Correction (FEC) adjustment scheme for Internet Telephony that incorporates the impact of end-to-end delay on the perceived audio quality. We show that it provides a better quality than the adjustment sch ...
Network Calculus is a collection of results based on Min-Plus algebra, which applies to deterministic queuing systems found in communication networks. It can be used for example to understand - the computations for delays used in the IETF guaranteed servic ...
