Our options-based approach to standardization shows that a rational way to standardize some IT technology in uncertain markets is with correct structure and proper staging of the standard. First, highly modularized standards provide a higher option value because of the ability to pick and choose the best modules to change at a fine granularity. Secondly, a modular structure that promotes easy and non-disruptive parallel experimentation (such as end-2-end applications) enhances the option value by providing a larger field of options from which to select. Lastly, allowing the standard to evolve along with the customers' expectations of the technology is a good strategy to match standards with uncertain user markets.", URL="http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~gaynor/ITS-copyright.pdf", } @BOOK{Sun01:Compressed, TITLE="Compressed Video over Networks", EDITOR="Ming-Ting Sun and Amy Reibman", ISBN="0-8247-9423-0", PUBLISHER="Marcel Dekker", ADDRESS="New York", YEAR=2001, KEYWORDS="packet video; Internet", } @INCOLLECTION{Schu01:IP, AUTHOR="Henning Schulzrinne", TITLE="{IP} Networks", BOOKTITLE="Compressed Video Over Networks", EDITOR="Amy Reibman and Ming-Ting Sun", ISBN="0-8247-9423-0", PUBLISHER="Marcel Dekker", YEAR=2001, KEYWORDS="IPv4; RSVP; video measurements; SIP; RTP", } @BOOK{Proc01:Practical, AUTHOR="Paul E.

Here we demonstrate that these results are one end of a continuum of traffic characteristics. At the other end are Poisson behavior and independence. Our study focuses on packets, what devices actually see; we study the statistical properties of packet inter-arrival times and packet sizes. As the traffic load increases --- that is, as the number of simultaneous transport connections increases --- arrivals tend to Poisson and sizes tend to independence. More specifically, long-range dependence of inter-arrivals and sizes decreases to independence, and the marginal distribution of inter-arrivals tends toward exponential; this happens (1) through time on a single link as the load increases due to daily variation, or (2) at a single point in time as the load increases going from lightly loaded links at the edges of the Internet to heavily loaded links at the core.

Many multimedia applications become useless if the continuity is disturbed due to end-to-end or slow re-reservations of resources each time a mobile node moves so that its point-of-presence in the IP network changes. Additionally, due to lack of QoS support from the correspondent node, mobile nodes would need a way to reserve at least local resources, especially wireless link resources. This paper proposes small modifications to the standard Internet resource reservation protocol, RSVP, so that initial resource reservations and re-reservations due to terminal mobility can often be done locally in an access network.

Efficient clustering or topology construction algorithms play a very important role in the fast connection establishment of such networks. The performance of these algorithms is mainly dependent on the device discovery time, i.e., the time taken by a node to discover and to connect to another node in its radio range, as well as the protocols used for organizing them into the required topology. We define metrics for device discovery performance and evaluate them by simulating the inquiry routine in Bluetooth for various ad-hoc scenarios. We indicate the scenario where device discovery in Bluetooth can become a bottleneck. We then describe some recent results on topology construction algorithms for Bluetooth. Data applications running over Bluetooth such as http, ftp and real audio will need transport layer protocols such as TCP and UDP to send packets over the wireless links.

Wireless fair scheduling algorithms must deal with unique domain-specific issues such as location-dependent and bursty channel error. In the past, a number of scheduling disciplines have been proposed for approximating fluid fair queueing in wireless channels, but using only the ARQ-based link-layer retransmit model(Bhagwat et al., in: IEEE INFOCOM, 1996; Lu et al., in: ACM SIGCOMM, 1997; Ng et al., in: IEEE INFOCOM, 1998; Lu et al., WINET 6, 2000, pp. 323---343; Nandagopal et al., in: ACM MOBICOM, 1999). In this work, we generalize past work in three key ways:(a)we use the notion of'utility-based'fair scheduling, wherein the goal of the scheduler is to serve flows in a way that maximizes the aggregate utility of the system,(b)we combine the techniques of FEC and ARQ in a generalized framework in which different scheduling disciplines can be realized by mixing and matching component algorithms within the framework, and(c)we support the notion of'application level fairness'when flows see different channel error probabilities. Specifically, we explore the combination of adaptive FEC and ARQ-based schemes within the utility-based wireless fair scheduling paradigm.

For various restoration methods, the problem is reduced to a vertex coloring problem in a graph. We present routing and wavelength assignment algorithms for service and restoration with varying capacity/restoration time tradeoffs, and evaluate their performance through simulations. We consider three different kinds of traffic patterns in terms of protection requirement: 100\%protected traffic, mixed protected/unprotected traffic, and mixed protected/low-priority traffic. We quantify the capacity cost of protection in mixed traffic patterns as a function of the proportion\rhoof the protected traffic in the mix, and identify the range of\rhowhere protection can be provided at low capacity penalties.

A number of optical layer protection techniques have been discussed. They are examined from the point of view of cost, complexity, and application. Survivability techniques are being made available at multiple layers of the network. This paper also studies the recovery features of each network layer and explains the impact of interaction between layers on survivability. The advantages and issues of multi-layer survivability have been identified. The main idea is that the optical layer can provide fast protection while the higher layers can provide intelligent restoration.

In the paper we evaluate the performance of two cost-based routing schemes: one centralized and one distributed. The latter has a much lower complexity than the former. Although the distributed version does not always use the least-cost path, our results indicate the performance of both schemes are about the same. We also compare them with least-loaded routing to demonstrate the ability of cost-based routing to stabilize the network performance even under an over-loaded condition. But to make cost-based routing a viable option for a high-speed network, we must find a way to compute the cost function. Recently a theory based on the concept of quantization was developed.

Such structures are by no means new and there are two well studied architectures in the literature for such packet switches: pure input queueing(no speedup)and pure output queueing(speedup of N, the number of links), with output queueing switches offering substantial performance benefits. However, as link speeds keep increasing, the speedup of N needed for pure output queueing becomes a significant technical challenge. This is one of the main reasons for the renewed interest in moderately speeded-up switch fabrics. The aim of this paper is to highlight the result that only a moderate speed-up factor(less than two)is sufficient to achieve full input link utilization. In particular, we emphasize that this holds, even without relying on a central switch controller making intelligent decisions on which packets to schedule through the switch. As shown in recent works, i.e.,[5, 17, 20, 23, 25]there are clearly benefits to using intelligent controllers, but they do come at a cost. Instead, in this paper we focus on what can be achieved by relying simply on switch speedup. We do so by means of analysis and simulations. Our analysis provides explicit expressions for the average queue length in switches with integer and rational speedups. The results are complemented by simulations that are used to obtain delay estimates, and which also allow us to extend our investigation to shared memory switches for which we find that good performance can be achieved with an even lower speedup.", URL="http://www.iospress.nl/site/html/09266801.html", } @ARTICLE{Haas0103:Mobile, AUTHOR="Zygmunt J.

Portability is a key element of mobile computing. As mobile devices shrink in terms of size and weight, their computing capabilities are also reduced, constrained by battery capacity. To sustain a good performance level of mobile applications, we devise a solution that reduces the processing complexity on computing-limited mobile devices. Additionally, we aim to minimize the use of wireless resources to further improve performance. Specifically, we develop a streamlined protocol architecture, Mobile TCP(MTCP), that achieves the elimination of IP processing on the wireless segment of the TCP connection. MTCP operates over a single hop wireless link, and, consequently, it eliminates the unnecessary overhead placed on mobile devices, such as the TCP congestion control mechanisms. In addition, we investigate the impact of streamlining the socket layer on offloading the processing overhead. Our experimental results indicate a substantial improvement in the efficiency of protocol processing. For instance, results show that the MTCP processing time per packet is approximately only one fourth that of TCP and the use of CPU resources is reduced by up to 50\%. Furthermore, the protocol incorporates various robust, yet simple, loss recovery techniques to considerably improve the throughput in lossy wireless conditions.", URL="http://www.iospress.nl/site/html/09266801.html", } @ARTICLE{Lee0103:Optimal, AUTHOR="Sang-Kyu Lee and A.

Unfortunately, the maximum throughput of these systems is restricted by the limited number of channels which can be achieved in practice. To address this problem, two-level hierarchical WDM LANs have been proposed[2---4]. These architectures can increase system capacity by permitting a set of local channels(i.e., the local waveband)to be spatially reused across a number of local optical networks(LONs). Full connectivity is maintained by a globally shared remote waveband. In systems of this kind the channels are typically accessed using a single wavelength-agile transmitter at each station[4]. Since fast receiver tuning is currently more difficult to achieve, practical designs are based on dynamic transmitter tuning only[2---4]. Receiver tuning is performed only rarely or during system initialization. An unfortunate complication with hierarchical networks is that stations must maintain a presence in both wavebands. In fixed-tuned receiver designs this means that each station must have one receiver for each waveband. As a result, the amount of station receiver hardware is at least twice that required for single passive star networks just to maintain full connectivity. In this paper, a simple technique is proposed for eliminating this requirement. In the remote section of the network, fixed wavelength conversion is used to fold certain remote wavelengths onto the local ones. This results in an interesting design where the local/remote allocation of bandwidth is dynamically controlled temporally by the stations from the edge of the network. Full connectivity can be maintained with only half the total number of station receivers and the capacity can scale linearly with the number of LONs, as in conventional hierarchies. The price to pay for this simplification however, is that capacity is lost through the wavelength folding process. New media access protocols are required to prevent conflicts in this case. The capacity and delay performance of the system is investigated for four proposed media access control protocols.", URL="http://www.iospress.nl/site/html/09266801.html", } @ARTICLE{Katz0104:Fault, AUTHOR="Irene Katzela and Georgios Ellinas and Won Yoon and Thomas Stern", TITLE="Fault diagnosis in optical networks", JOURNAL=jhsn, VOLUME=10, NUMBER=4, PAGES="269-291", NOTE="International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS)", YEAR=2001, ABSTRACT="Faults in the optical network environment propagate quickly to different parts of the network raising a large number of alarms.

In particular, we study two strategies based on the 1:1 path protection scheme. The Static strategy establishes protection paths such that once a route and wavelength have been chosen they are not allowed to change. On the other hand, the Dynamic strategy allows for re-arrangement of protection paths, that is, both the route and wavelength chosen for a protection path can change so as to accommodate a new request. With either strategy, we assume that the working paths cannot be re-arranged. This is to prevent the disruption of on-going traffic. The two strategies are compared on the basis of the number of connections requests that can be satisfied for a given number of wavelengths, assuming that the requests come one at a time, and wavelengths are assigned according to the First-Fit policy.

In the case of a failure(either due to a fiber cut or due to equipment failure)in the primary path, data transmission is quickly switched to the backup path. In order to tolerate any single fault, the backup path must be edge(or node)disjoint from the primary path. Most often a shortest path between the source and the destination is chosen as the primary path. To obtain a link(node)disjoint backup(or secondary)path, the links(nodes)of the primary path are removed from the graph and then a shortest path in the modified graph is chosen as the backup path. The attractive feature of this scheme is its simplicity. However, the scheme has a severe drawback. Due to the choice of a shortest path as the primary path, the length of a link disjoint secondary path may be unacceptably large. In this paper, we propose a novel way of choosing the primary and the secondary paths so that the lengths of both the paths are small. Unfortunately, the problem of choosing primary and secondary paths in this way turns out to be NP-complete. We provide the NP-completeness proof of both the edge disjoint and the node disjoint version of the problem. We provide an approximation algorithm for the problem with a guaranteed performance bound of 2 and a mathematical programming formulation for the exact solution of the problem. Though the approximate solution provides a performance bound of 2, through extensive experimental evaluation, we find that the approximate solution is very close to the optimal solution and the ratio between the approximate to the optimal solution never exceeds 1.2.

The current WCDMA specification fully satisfies the IMT-2000 requirements, including support for data rates of up to 2 Mbit/s in indoor or small-cell outdoor environments, wide-area coverage at rates of up to 384 kbit/s, and support for high-rate packet-data and circuit-switched services. Thus, the introduction of third-generation cellular systems allows operators to offer a vast selection of services to meet subscriber demands. Ericsson’s WCDMA products are positioned to guarantee cost-effective delivery of these services. When launching a WCDMA network, most operators will initially focus on delivering stable coverage over a large area—capacity is a lesser concern. The initial deployment will also support essential end-user services, including radio access bearers for circuit- and packet-switched data communication as well as location-based services. Over time, the capacity requirements will increase as more and more subscribers enter the system. Likewise, greater support will be needed for end-user services - that is, multimedia services, high-precision location services, and high-speed packet-data services will become increasingly important. These evolving requirements can be supported through enhancements and additions of new functionality in the current WCDMA standard (R99) and through future additions to it.

Therefore, this book was written in a way that enables all these groups to understand the impact of active networking in their sphere of interest. Information services managers, network administrators, and e-commerce developers would like to know the potential benefits of the new technology to their businesses, networks, and applications. The book introduces the basic active networking paradigm and its potential impacts on the future of information handling in general and on communications in particular. This is useful for forward-looking businesses that wish to actively participate in the development of active networks and ensure a head start in the integration of the technology in their future products, be they applications or networks. Areas in which active networking is likely to make significant impact are identified, and the reader is pointed to any related ongoing research efforts in the area. The book also provides a deeper insight into the active networking model for students and researchers, who seek challenging topics that define or extend frontiers of the technology. It describes basic components of the model, explains some of the terms used by the active networking community, and provides the reader with taxonomy of the research being conducted at the time this book was written. Current efforts are classified based on typical research areas such as mobility, security, and management. The intent is to introduce the serious reader to the background regarding some of the models adopted by the community, to outline outstanding issues concerning active networking, and to provide a snapshot of the fast-changing landscape in active networking research.

However, the results also indicate that no single statistic is able to classify application flows with reasonable certainty but that this might be achieved when several statistics and their analysis results are combined.

Energy-aware performance analysis is shown to provide new insights into costly protocol behaviors and suggests opportunities for improvement at the protocol and link layers.", URL="http://www.sics.se/~lmfeeney/monet.ps", } @TECHREPORT{Voigt:docstech01, AUTHOR="Thiemo Voigt and Per Gunningberg", TITLE="Dealing with Memory-intensive Web Requests", INSTITUTION="Dept. of Information Technology, Uppsala University", NUMBER="2001--010", MONTH="MAY", YEAR=2001, } @INPROCEEDINGS{Voi:paws01, AUTHOR="Thiemo Voigt and Per Gunningberg", TITLE="Kernel-based Control of Persistent Web Server Connections", BOOKTITLE="Performance and Architecture of Web Servers (PAWS)", ADDRESS="Cambridge, MA, USA", MONTH="JUN", YEAR=2001, ABSTRACT="Several overload admission control architectures have been developed to protect web servers from overload.

It is becoming essential for Web servers to provide performance isolation, have fast recovery times, and provide continuous service during overload at least to preferred customers. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of three kernel-based mechanisms that protect Web servers against overload by providing admission control and service differentiation based on connection and application level information. Our basic admission control mechanism, {\em TCP SYN policing}, limits the acceptance rate of new requests based on the connection attributes. The second mechanism, {\em prioritized listen queue}, supports different service classes by reordering the listen queue based on the priorities of the incoming connections. Third, we present {\em HTTP header-based connection control} that uses application-level information such as URLs and cookies to set priorities and rate control policies. We have implemented these mechanisms in AIX 5.0. Through numerous experiments we demonstrate their effectiveness in achieving the desired degree of service differentiation during overload.

Ad hoc networks can be realized due to the ability of stations to route connections according to the current meshing of the network. The decentrally organized network is able to guarantee the bandwidth contracted to a connection in a hidden station environment by means of contention-free data transmission, for both cannel and packet switched services, based on real channel connections. Channels are established and used for the duration of a so called train of data packets, released when the train ends and re-established when the next train arrives. To guarantee available capacity of the network for the re-establishment of a connection and to guarantee the quality of service needed for a wireless extension of a fixed ATM network, connection admission control is applied considering the overall interference situation and the current meshing of the stations in the network.\n For the purpose of realistic and reliable performance analysis a simulation tool appropriate for the investigation of the proposed network is introduced, and performance results for the proposed protocols are given by means of event-driven simulation studies in example scenarios. the simulated protocols have been formally specified in SDL, translated to C++, and embedded into a simulation environment", ANNOTE="System Analysis, Ad hoc, Multihop, Self-organizing network, Decentral control", } @INPROCEEDINGS{Sinh01:Enhancing, AUTHOR="Prasun Sinha and Raghupathy Sivakumar and V.

We show that all three Petri net-based paradigms provide very similar performance predictions for some of the considered realistic configurations of GSM/GPRS systems, and for some of the performance metrics of interest. This proves that FSPNs can be an adequate tool for the performance analysis of wireless Internet access systems, and allow the investigation of large system configurations, thanks to the availability of very efficient solution algorithms for FSPN models. However, we also show that in other cases (which can be clearly characterized), the performance predictions generated by FSPN models may become quite optimistic, and thus not suitable for a careful design and planning of GSM/GPRS systems. In those cases, both DSPNs and GSPNs can provide a viable modeling alternative, at least in the case of medium scale systems.", } @ARTICLE{Kaly01:Use, AUTHOR="Shivkumar Kalyanaraman and Raj Jain and Rohit Goyal and Sonia Fahmy and Seong-Cheol Kim", TITLE="Use-it or Lose-it Policies for the Available Bit Rate {(ABR)} Service in {ATM} Networks", JOURNAL=cnis, MONTH=jan, YEAR=2001, ABSTRACT="The Available Bit Rate (ABR) service has been developed to support 21st century data applications over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).

This paper looks at the problem of achieving specific QoS goals of individual flows by flexibly managing resources available to an aggregated source. The paper shows that an aggregated source can maintain state of individual flows at the edge of the network and utilize this state effectively in adaptively marking packets of individual flows to meet their QoS goals. The paper also proposes a simple scheme for improving the service provided to a receiving-intensive application by transferring resources to the edge of the network on the sender's side.

The objective is to facilitate a user-specified QoS end-to-end i.e. without special network support for real-time MPEG video whose timing constraints rule out the use of retransmission-based congestion control and QoS provisioning schemes. The degree of redundancy overcode in forward error correction injected into the network is adjusted as a function of network state, decreasing when the network is well-behaved to minimize unnecessary network resource consumption, and increasing when it is not to compensate for adverse network effects so as to maintain an invariant level of end-to-end QoS. We describe an adaptive packet-level forward error correction protocol called AFEC and analyze its properties with respect to optimality and stability. The optimal control problem is nontrivial due to the fact that increased redundancy, beyond a certain point, can backfire resulting in self-induced congestion which impedes the timely recovery of information MPEG video frames at the receiver. We experimentally evaluate the efficacy of our end-to-end QoS control by implementing and customizing AFEC to the transport of real-time MPEG video. We realize the system as a transport/application layer protocol running on UNIX workstations, and measure its performance over controlled network environments. We show that AFEC is able to effectively hide potentially adverse network effects such as packet drops and delays stemming from traffic burstiness and nonstationary structural changes using adaptive redundancy control, exporting a constant QoS service commensurate with user-specified QoS.", URL="http://www.elsevier.nl/gej-ng/10/15/19/47/24/30/abstract.html", } @ARTICLE{Jeon0101:QoS, AUTHOR="Sangjin Jeong and Henry Owen and John Copeland and Jr. Sokol", TITLE="{QoS} support for {UDP/TCP} based networks", JOURNAL=comcom, VOLUME=24, NUMBER=1, PAGES="64-77", MONTH=jan, YEAR=2001, KEYWORDS="QoS provisioning; Queue policy; Resource reservation; Router-based QoS", ABSTRACT="To support UDP-based real-time applications over the Internet, it is necessary to provide bandwidth to the UDP applications within the network so that the performance of the UDP applications will not be seriously affected during periods of congestion. UDP flows do not typically back off when they encounter congestion. Thus, UDP flows aggressively use up more bandwidth than TCP friendly flows. Therefore, while it is important to have router algorithms support UDP flows by assigning appropriate bandwidth, it is also necessary to protect responsive TCP flows from unresponsive or aggressive UDP flows so that all users get a reasonable quality of service (QoS). In this paper, we propose a set of router-based QoS mechanisms including queue policy, resource reservation, and metering.

Otherwise, the call is rejected. Hence, the study of call blocking probabilities in such communication networks is a problem of growing importance. Application of queueing theory to solve these problems has received considerable attention in the research community. Due to the real-time nature of the applications, it is pertinent to study the time-dependent behaviour of such systems.

Alternatively, the DiffServ solution achieves scalability via aggregate control, yet cannot ensure a particular QoS to individual flows. To simultaneously achieve scalability and a strong service model, we have designed and implemented a novel architecture and admission control algorithm termed Egress Admission Control. In our approach, the available service on a network path is passively monitored, and admission control is performed only at egress nodes, incorporating the effects of cross traffic with implicit measurements rather than with explicit signaling. In this paper, we describe our implementation of the scheme on a network of prototype routers enhanced with ingress-egress path monitoring and edge admission control.

The EB function depends on two parameters, namely the time scale and the space scale, whose values represent the link operating point and they are related to the link capacity, the buffer size and the traffic mix. In this paper we present a study of the Many Sources Asymptotic (MSA), a Large Deviations technique that employs the notion of EB to evaluate the performance of a queueing system. Since the MSA requires to determine the time and space parameters, we firstly analysed their sensitivity to the variation of the traffic mix. We subsequently applied the results of this analysis to the refinement of a CAC algorithm based on the MSA, by using suitable thresholds for bounding the smallest mix variation beyond which a new estimation of the link operating point is required.

The presence of distributed access multiplexers is assumed, which are both geographically dispersed (e.g., at the user premises) and hierarchically structured. Such multiplexers are intelligent devices with decision making capabilities that operate jointly, in order to make the best possible use of the transport capacity of the access network and to maintain the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of different users and service classes. Following the physical system organization, a hierarchical control structure is defined, where the admission of calls for real-time traffic classes (or different users) is performed by independent controllers; the latter are parametrized by the bandwidths allocated by a common link agent, playing the role of a ``link coordinator'' in the hierarchical control scheme. This decision maker aims at minimizing a general cost that captures QoS requirements both at the call-level (call blocking probability) for QoS-aware, connection-oriented services and at the cell-level (cell loss probability) for connectionless, best-effort, ones. The control architecture also reflects the multilayer hierarchy introduced by the presence of multiple teletraffic time scales, by essentially decoupling the above problem from that of ensuring QoS at the cell-level for services of the first type. We derive the optimal parameters' setting from the numerical solution of a mathematical programming problem. Then, the same structure is applied to link multiplexers of the transport network nodes, which are supposed to possess both ATM and IP switching/routing capabilities. Routing strategies at both ATM and IP levels are defined, which are combined with the above described CAC and bandwidth allocation scheme.

In order to provide such guarantees to single flows (or flow aggregates), the end-to-end analysis of de-lay and loss performance in a Diffserv domain is needed. The impact of jitter should be considered in the performance analysis at the successive nodes along the path of a flow (flow aggregate). Worst-case analysis is a solution to provide deterministic quantitative guarantees, at the price of very low efficiency. As an alternative this paper proposes a probabilistic approach, aimed at providing statistical quantitative guarantees and achieve higher efficiency. The proposed analytical approach is based on the insertion of a discarding device before the FIFO queue, called "dropper". The purpose of the dropper is to avoid the analysis of the congestion at the burst level in the queue, allowing for the application of an analytical result derived for packet scale conflicts in the modulated ND/D/1 queue. Simulations are presented that validate the analytical bound.
