Multimedia is characterized by bursty traffic and often stringent real-time constraints.
Multimedia traffic requires quality of service guarantees. This gives rise to traffic …

The multicast available bit rate (ABR) service in ATM networks is important for many
emerging data service applications. The authors propose a fuzzy-logic-based consolidation …

Connecting enterprise sites requires innovative architectures. Virtual private networks
(VPNs) linking different organizational sites over the Internet are a popular solution. Internet …

The ATM-ABR service category provides minimum cell rate (MCR) guarantees and robust
connections even with insufficient network resources. Recently proposed rate-management …

Block-based coders rely on motion-compensated block prediction with intra refresh to limit
the distortion from channel losses over unreliable channels. We present an algorithm to …

The Internet has experienced a fascinating evolution in recent past. On the other side, many
different multimedia services, particularly high-definition interactive video, demanding …

Although neural networks (NNs) have been applied for traffic and congestion control in ATM
networks, many implementations only consider a single service class with identical traffic …

The available bit rate (ABR) service is designed to provide efficient support of data traffic in
ATM networks. A variety of rate-based flow control approaches have been proposed to …

Multipoint-to-point communication allows a group of sources to transfer data to one
destination. A major requirement of flow control for such connections is to ensure a fair …

Traffic management aims at efficiently allocating network resources and meeting the
negotiated quality of service guarantees. Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks allow …
