Interactive networked applications require high throughput, low latency, and high reliability
from the network to provide a seamless user experience. While meeting these three …

In this paper, we address the problem of discovering the 3D shape of a book surface from
the shading information in a scanned document image. This shape-from-shading problem is …

To reduce the computational complexity of large-scale network simulation, one needs to
distinguish foreground traffic generated by the target applications one intends to study from …

While Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) variants with delay-based congestion control
(eg, TCP Vegas) provide low queueing delay and low packet loss, the key problem with their …

Most existing criteria [3],[5],[8] for sizing router buffers rely on explicit formulation of the
relationship between buffer size and characteristics of Internet traffic. However, this is a non …

Depending on the application level quality requirements, packets on the Internet can broadly
be classified into two classes: Streaming (S) and Elastic (E). Streaming packets require low …

The single best-effort service of the Internet struggles to accommodate divergent needs of
different distributed applications. Numerous alternative network architectures have been …

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) introduces the multi-streaming feature to
avoid the head-of-line (HOL) blocking problem of TCP and facilitate the transport of …

Increasingly, multimedia applications need higher bandwidth to provide better quality, for
example in multi-party HD video conferencing. This demanding class of interactive …

The idea of an Alternative Best Effort (ABE) per-hop behaviour (PHB) emerged about 20
years ago. It provides a low-delay traffic class in the Internet at the expense of more packet …
