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 ...
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 use active and passive traffic measurements to identify the issues involved in the deployment of a voice service over a tier-1 IP backbone network. Our findings indicate that no specific handling of voice packets (i.e. QoS differentiation) is needed in ...

Current TCP-friendly congestion control mechanisms such as those used in TFRC adjust the packet rate in order to adapt to network conditions and obtain a throughput not exceeding that of a TCP connection operating under the same conditions. In an environme ...
We consider the definition of the Expedited Forwarding Per-Hop Behaviour (EF PHB) as given in RFC 2598\ \cite{rfc2598}, and its impact on worst case end-to-end delay jitter. On one hand, the definition in RFC 2598 can be used to predict extremely low end-t ...
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 such as th ...
The controller synthesis paradigm provides a general framework for scheduling real-time applications. Schedulers can be considered as controllers of the applications; they restrict their behavior so that given scheduling requirements are met. We study a mo ...
We consider the problem of routing in a wide area mobile ad hoc network called Terminode Network. Routing in this network is designed with the following objectives. First, it should scale well in terms of the number of nodes and geographical coverage; seco ...
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 ...
