Traffic shaping is a mechanism used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to limit subscribers' traffic based on their service contracts. This paper investigates the current implementation of traffic shaping based on the token bucket filter…
We consider \emph{plurality consensus} in a network of $n$ nodes. Initially, each node has one of $k$ opinions. The nodes execute a (randomized) distributed protocol to agree on the plurality opinion (the opinion initially supported by the…

The distributed computing literature considers multiple options for modeling communication. Most simply, communication is categorized as either synchronous or asynchronous. Synchronous communication assumes that messages get delivered…

We consider a multihop wireless system. There are multiple source-destination pairs. The data from a source may have to pass through multiple nodes. We obtain a channel scheduling policy which can guarantee end-to-end mean delay for the…
