It has been widely acknowledged that future networks will need to provide significantly more
capacity than current ones in order to deal with the increasing traffic demands of the users …

In this paper, we propose a new gossip-based signaling dissemination method for the Next
Steps in Signaling protocol family. In more detail, we propose to extend the General Internet …

An important technical aspect of achieving end-to-end quality of service (QoS) in next
generation networks refers to allocation of the total performance impairment budget (delay …

Next generation network (NGN) should facilitate a single party to establish quality of service
(QoS) enabled path between the two IP providers mutually interconnected by one or more …

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to inter-provider service class mapping in third
party (3P) negotiation model. The foundation for this mapping is laid on integer …

This paper shows an innovative solution for distributing dynamic sensor data by using
distributed caches. Our proposal is based on the concepts of service modularization and …

The black-haul infrastructures of today's wireless operators must support the triple-play
services demanded by the market or regulatory bodies. To cope with increasing capacity …

Service level agreements between the Internet providers describe aggregate traffic, which is
composed from a large number of individual flows belonging to the same service class …

The high increase of bandwidth‐intensive applications like high definition video streaming in
home and small office environments leads to QoS challenges in hybrid wired/wireless local …

Protocols have been developed to provide various signaling services in IP-based networks-
for example, for quality-of-service (QoS) reservations, or configuring middleboxes such as …
