Many computer network applications impose constraints for multiple quality of service (QoS)
metrics, eg, delay, packet loss, bandwidth, and jitter. These QoS constraints cannot be …

In recent years, overlay networks have emerged as an attractive alternative for supporting
value-added services. Due to the difficulty of supporting end-to-end QoS purely in end-user …

A recent trend in routing research is the use of overlay routing to improve end-to-end QoS
without changing the network level architecture. The key of this technology is to find …

Recently, many overlay applications have emerged in the Internet. Currently, each of these
applications requires their proprietary functionality support. A general unified framework may …

Multipath transmission on overlay network is proved to effectively improve transmission
quality for Internet applications requiring stringent QoS guarantees, eg, real-time …

Recently, a moderate amount of work has been reported on the use of overlay networks to
support value-added network services, such as multicasting, Quality-of-Service (QoS) …

The emergence of new types of popular multimedia services requires in the long run a
quality-of-service (QoS) solution better than the best-effort service provided by IP. Failure to …

In the absence of end-to-end quality of service (QoS), overlay routing has been used as an
alternative to the default best effort Internet routing. Using end-to-end network measurement …

Routing overlays have become a viable approach to working around slow BGP
convergence and sub-optimal path selection, as well as to deploy novel forwarding …

Peer-to-peer systems have recently emerged to address the problem of enabling the
virtualization of distributed resources such as processing, network bandwidth and storage …
