In many network design problems clients are required to be connected to a facility under
path-length constraints and budget limits. Each facility is associated with a tree network …

This thesis analyzes the performance of a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) multimedia content delivery
system for a network architecture based on next-generation Passive Optical Networks …

In this paper we present an optimization algorithm to minimize caching storage occupation
in a peer-to-peer localityaware multimedia distribution service. Our proposed solution uses …

Mass deployment of fibre access networks is without doubt the next short to medium term
goal of many network operators around the globe. Long-Reach Passive Optical Network (LR …

Access Networks provide the backbone to the Internet connecting the end-users to the core
network thus forming the most important segment for connectivity. Access Networks have …

Long reach passive optical networks (LR-PONs), which integrate fibre-to-the-home with
metro networks, have been the subject of intensive research in recent years and are …
