While today's computer networks support only best-effort service, future packet-switching
integrated-services networks will have to support real-time communication services that …

VBR compressed video is known to exhibit significant, multiple-time-scale bit rate variability.
In this paper, we consider the transmission of stored video from a server to a client across a …

This paper gives an overview of the methods and models used for the performance
evaluation of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)-based broad-band integrated services …

The up-coming Gbps high-speed networks are expected to support a wide range of real-
time, communication-intensive applications. The quality-of-service (QoS) requirements for …

In this paper we present a novel network-conscious approach to the problem of end-to-end
video delivery over wide-area networks using proxy servers situated between local-area …

Variable bit-rate (VBR) compressed video is known to exhibit significant, multiple-time-scale
rate variability. A number of researchers have considered transmitting stored video from …

Actions in real world applications typically take place in cluttered environments with large
variations in the orientation and scale of the actor. We present an approach to …

Compressed digital video is one of the most important types of traffic in future integrated
services networks. It is difficult to support this class of traffic since, on one hand, compressed …

Current solutions to providing statistical performance guarantees to bursty traffic such as
compressed video encounter several problems:(1) source traffic descriptors are often too …

Due to the dramatic increase in competition over the last few years, it has become more and
more important for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to run an efficient business and offer an …
