We propose a novel approach to Quality of Service, intended for IP over SONET (or IP over WDM) networks, that offers end-users the choice between two service classes defined according to their level of transmission protection. The first service class (call ...
We model traffic on an uncongested backbone link of an IP network using Poisson Shot-noise process and M/G/∞ queue. We validate the model by simulation. We analyze the model accuracy with real traffic traces collected on the Sprint IP backbone netwo ...
We propose Alternative Best-Effort (ABE), a novel service for IP networks, which retains the simplicity of the original Internet single class, best effort service, while providing low delay to interactive, adaptive applications. With ABE, applications choo ...
We propose an algorithm for localizing multiple failures in an IP/WDM network. They can be either hard failures (unexpected events that interrupt suddenly the established channels) or soft failures (events that progressively degrade the quality of transmis ...
In the context of Differentiated Services (DiffServ), we investigate the effect of acknowledgment marking on the throughput of TCP connections. We carry out experiments on a testbed offering three classes of service (Premium, Assured and Best-Effort), and ...
We propose Alternative Best-Effort (ABE), a novel service for IP networks, which relies on the idea of providing low-delay at the expense of maybe less throughput. The objective is to retain the simplicity of the original Internet single class, best effort ...
We present a novel scheduling algorithm, Duplicate Scheduling with Deadlines (DSD). This algorithm implements the ABE service which allows interactive, adaptive applications, that mark their packets green, to receive a low bounded delay at the expense of m ...
Fault identification and location in optical networks is hampered by a multitude of factors: (i) the redundancy and the lack of coordination (internetworking) of the managements at the different layers (WDM, SDH/SONET, ATM, IP) ...
