- Boston University's College of Engineering Simplifies Management of Complex Data Center
- The Boston University's College of Engineering includes 37 research centers and labs in which some 3,000 students, faculty, staff, and affiliates create and share large, complex data files and run compute-intensive applications. In 2005, the college's IT team resolved to make a change. They needed something easier to manage, but...

- Graded Channel Reservation With Path Switching in Ultra High Capacity Networks
- As a result of the existing limitations of TCP/IP, significant efforts have been devoted to develop an alternative protocol stack based on the concept of advanced channel reservation, that is specifically tailored for large file transfers and other high throughput applications. This protocol stack is not intended to replace TCP/IP...

- Scalable Coordination Techniques for Distributed Network Monitoring
- Emerging network monitoring infrastructures capture packet-level traces or keep per-flow statistics at a set of distributed vantage points. Today, distributed monitors in such an infrastructure do not co-ordinate monitoring effort, which both can lead to duplication of effort and can complicate subsequent data analysis. The paper argues that nodes in...

- Efficient Monitoring of End-to-End Network Properties
- It is often desirable to monitor end-to-end properties, such as loss rates or packet delays, across an entire network. However, active end-to-end measurement in such settings does not scale well, and so complete network-wide measurement quickly becomes infeasible. More efficient measurement strategies are therefore needed. Previous work, examining this problem...

- A Two-Tiered On-Line Server-Side Bandwidth Reservation Framework for the Real-Time Delivery of Multiple Video Streams
- The advent of virtualization and cloud computing technologies necessitates the development of effective mechanisms for the estimation and reservation of resources needed by content providers to deliver large numbers of Video-On-Demand VOD streams through the cloud. Unfortunately, capacity planning for the QoS-constrained delivery of a large number of VOD streams...

- Scalable Overlay Multicast Tree Construction for Media Streaming
- This paper compares various methods to construct multicast trees between end-systems, that vary in terms of implementation costs and their quality of mapping from logical overlay to physical network. They describe several algorithms that make trade-offs between algorithmic complexity, physical link stress and latency. While no algorithm is best in...

- Lock IT Down: Are peer-to-peer networks worth the risk?
- Why SETI is a good P2P toolClearly, peer-to-peer networks (P2Ps) are popular with end users. Take, for example, SETI@Home, which has more than three million participants—some of whom may be on your network.For the IT manager, P2Ps should raise serious questions about security. An illustration of this: Hackers recently infiltrated...
