In this brief, we consider a generic type of communication network consisting of two kinds of
nodes, ie, hosts and routers, and only the hosts can generate and receive packets. In this …

For efficient and reliable data transmission, the traffic load should be as uniformly distributed
as possible in the network, and the average distance traveled by the data should be short …

Traffic dynamics on single or isolated complex networks has been extensively studied in the
past decade. Recently, several coupled network models have been developed to describe …

It has been widely demonstrated that the structure of a network is a major factor that affects
its traffic dynamics. In this work, we try to identify the optimal topologies for maximizing the …

Most modern infrastructures are coupled with or are dependent on one another to form
multilayer networks. Contrary to a single-layer transportation network, multilayer …

The capacity distribution plays a crucial role to determine the traffic performance. In this
paper, we use a flow model to study the optimal capacity distribution, with the consideration …

This paper settles an open question with a positive answer: Optimal traffic engineering (or
optimal multicommodity flow) can be realized using just link-state routing protocols with hop …

This paper presents Caliper, a highly-accurate packet injection tool that generates precise
and responsive traffic. Caliper takes live packets generated on a host computer and …

In this paper we present an intelligent multi-topology IGP (MT-IGP) based intra-domain traffic
engineering (TE) scheme that is able to handle unexpected traffic fluctuations with near …

As networks grow in size and complexity, network management has become an increasingly
challenging task. Many protocols have tunable parameters, and optimization is the process …
