We compare the performance of ABR and UBR for providing high-speed network interconnection services for TCP traffic. We test the hypothesis that UBR with adequate buffering in the ATM switches results in better overall goodput for TCP traffic than explicit ...
In this paper we present the main challenges in mobile ad-hoc wide area networks (MAWANs). A MAWAN is a wide area, large, (potentially) entirely wireless networks. We describe the Terminodes Project (a 10-year-long research program (2000-2010) in MAWANs, s ...
Consider a network with an arbitrary topology and arbitrary communication delays, in which congestion control is based on additive--increase and multiplicative--decrease. We show that the source rates tend to be distributed in order to maximize an objectiv ...
In this article, we propose an architecture for hybrid services, i.e., services that span many network technologies, such as the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), cellular networks and networks based on the Internet Protocol (IP). These services wi ...

The Terminode project follows a system approach to investigate wide area, large, totally wireless networks that we call mobile ad-hoc wide area networks. A netw ork of terminodes is an autonomous, self-operated, wireless multimedia network, independent of ...

We analyse and illustrate two approaches that we have developed for providing reservations to flows. The first approach uses the explicit reservation model: a traffic profile is negotiated between users and the network. ATM and RSVP are two examples for th ...
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) is a high speed local area network operating at 100Mbps using a fiber optic ring transmission medium. The purpose of this paper is to build a Petri net model for the FDDI media access control (MAC) protocol. This mod ...
