Current practice of shaping subscriber traffic based on token bucket by Internet service provider (ISP) allows short-term fluctuations in its shaped rate and thereby enables a subscriber to transmit traffic at a higher rate than a…
Shaping subscriber traffic based on token bucket filter (TBF) by Internet service providers (ISPs) results in waste of network resources in shared access when there are few active subscribers, because it cannot allocate excess bandwidth in…
Recent studies on the practice of shaping subscribers' traffic by ISPs give a new insight into the actual performance of broadband access networks at a packet level. Unlike metro and backbone networks, however, access networks directly…
In shared access shaping subscriber traffic based on token bucket by ISPs wastes network resources when there are few active subscribers, because it cannot allocate excess bandwidth in the long term. To address it, traffic control schemes…
The current practice of shaping subscriber traffic using a token bucket filter by Internet service providers may result in a severe waste of network resources in shared access networks; except for a short period of time proportional to the…
Owning to the sub-standards being developed by IEEE Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) Task Group, the traditional IEEE 802.1 Ethernet is enhanced to support real-time dependable communications for future time- and safety-critical…
ISPs are increasingly selling "tiered" contracts, which offer Internet connectivity to wholesale customers in bundles, at rates based on the cost of the links that the traffic in the bundle is traversing. Although providers have already…
Network slicing has emerged as a key network technology, providing network operators with the means to offer virtual networks to vertical users over a single physical network infrastructure. Recent research has resulted mainly in techniques…
To approach different business objectives, online traffic shaping algorithms aim at improving exposures of a target set of items, such as boosting the growth of new commodities. Generally, these algorithms assume that the utility of each…
An increasing number of systems have been proposed or deployed to the transit core of the Internet with the goal of observing and manipulating traffic in flight, systems we term Traffic Manipulating Boxes. Examples of these include: decoy…
This paper considers networks where user traffic is regulated through deterministic traffic profiles, e.g., token buckets, and requires hard delay bounds. The network's goal is to minimize the resources it needs to meet those bounds. The…
Transport services (TAPS) is a working group of the Internet's standardization body, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). TAPS defines a new recommended API for the Internet's transport layer. This API gives access to a wide variety…
The Internet is constantly changing, and its hierarchy was recently shown to become flatter. Recent studies of inter-domain traffic showed that large content providers drive this change by bypassing tier-1 networks and reaching closer to…
We analyze the benefits of network sharing between telecommunications operators. Sharing is seen as one way to speed the roll out of expensive technologies such as 5G since it allows the service providers to divide the cost of providing…
Video services in vehicular networks play a significant role in our daily traveling. In this paper, we propose a cooperative communication scheme to facilitate video data transmission, utilizing the mobility of vehicles and the cooperation…
Supervising internet traffic is essential for any Internet Service Provider (ISP) to dynamically allocate bandwidth in an optimized manner. BitTorrent is a well-known peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol for bulky file transfer. Its extensive…
Next generation wireless architectures are expected to enable slices of shared wireless infrastructure which are customized to specific mobile operators/services. Given infrastructure costs and the stochastic nature of mobile services'…
The challenges of optimizing end-to-end performance over diverse Internet paths has driven widespread adoption of in-path optimizers, which can destructively interfere with TCP's end-to-end semantics and with each other, and are…
Fixed Communication Provider (FCP) is a consortium of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) which users can switch easily and freely between their ISPs. In order to increase the QoS of the ISPs, we propose a two class service model as the…
The design of transport protocols, embedded in end-systems, and the choice of buffer sizing strategies, within network routers, play an important role in performance analysis of the Internet. In this paper, we take a dynamical systems…
