In this paper we consider some models for contention resolution in cable networks, in case
the contention pertains to requests from a finite population of stations and is carried out by …

A set of simple queuing theory models which can model the average response of a network
of computers to a given traffic load has been implemented. The impact of variations in traffic …

Inspired by a problem regarding cable access networks, we consider a two station tandem
queue with Poisson arrivals. At station 1 we operate a gate mechanism, leading to batch …

Reservation procedures constitute the core of many popular data transmission protocols.
They consist of two steps: A request phase in which a station reserves the communication …

In this paper we consider some models for contention resolution in cable networks, in case
the contention pertains to requests and is carried out by means of contention trees. More …

In the pelican project, several mathematical models have been developed that are relevant
to the performance analysis of cable networks. The aim of this report is to give a short …

Contention trees are a popular tool to provide access to a shared resource for an unknown
population of contenders. In this report, some of the basic properties of contention trees are …

Een kabelnetwerk is tegenwoordig niet meer alleen een medium waarover analoge TV-
signalen vanuit een centraal punt, kopstation genaamd, naar de aangesloten huizen …
