- Providing Rate Guarantees to TCP Over the ATM GFR Service
- The ATM Guaranteed Frame Rate GFR service is intended for best e ort traffic that can benefit from minimum throughput guarantees. Edge devices connecting LANs to an ATM network can use GFR to transport multiple TCP/IP connections over a single GFR VC. These devices would typically multiplex VCs into a...

- Effective Computation of Biased Quantiles Over Data Streams
- Skew is prevalent in many data sources such as IP traffic streams. To continually summarize the distribution of such data, a high-biased set of quantiles (e.g., 50th, 90th and 99th percentiles) with finer error guarantees at higher ranks (e.g., errors of 5, 1 and 0.1 percent, respectively) is more useful...

- Adaptive Bandwidth Allocation in Broadband Networks
- New broadband network applications require certain performance guarantees that can be provided through proper resource allocation. Allocation techniques are needed to provide these guarantees as efficiently as possible since resources are limited. MPLS and DiffServ have been widely accepted as the service model to adopt for providing Quality of Services...

- DiffServ Over MPLS: Tuning QOS Parameters for Converged Traffic Using Linux Traffic Control
- MPLS over DiffServ couples the diffserv's per hop guarantees with MPLS traffic engineering capabilities to provide better Quality of Service QoS guarantees than that provided by MPLS or DiffServ alone. Linux provides powerful traffic control features to ensure proper traffic classification and differentiation. However, the current implementation of the traffic...

- On Assuring QoS in Ethernet Access Network
- This paper deals with the problem of assuring strict QoS guarantees for the end to end connections that originate from Ethernet access network. It shows that despite high link capacities in some cases Ethernet network might be the reason of QoS deterioration. The primary reason is the lack of appropriate...

- Bridging the Gap Between Web Application Firewalls and Web Applications: Extended Abstract
- Web applications are the Achilles heel of the current ICT infrastructure. NIST's national vulnerability database clearly shows that the percentage of vulnerabilities located in the application layer increases steadily. Web Application Firewalls WAFs play an important role in preventing exploitation of vulnerabilities in web applications. However, WAFs are very pragmatic...

- QoS Mechanisms for the MAC Protocol of 802.11 WLANs
- There are two essential ingredients in order for any telecommunications system to be able to provide Quality-of-Service QoS guarantees: Connection Admission Control CAC and service differentiation. In Wireless Local Area Networks WLANs, it is essential to carry out these functions at the MAC level. The IEEE 802.11e draft standard includes...

- Achieving Optimal Revenues in Dynamically Priced Network Services With QoS Guarantees
- The authors have previously proposed the use of dynamically priced network services to provide Quality of Service QoS guarantees within a network. End-to-end QoS can be achieved by concatenating several of these services, perhaps from different ISPs. This paper considers the problem of a single ISP determining the bandwidth to...

- Cross-Layer-Model Based Adaptive Resource Allocation for Statistical QoS Guarantees in Mobile Wireless Networks
- This paper proposes a cross-layer-model based adaptive resource-allocation scheme for the diverse Quality-of-Service QoS guarantees over downlink mobile wireless networks. The proposed scheme dynamically assigns power-levels and time-slots for heterogeneous real-time mobile users to satisfy the variation of statistical delay-bound QoS requirements. To achieve this goal, the paper applies Wu...
