This paper presents Smart Box Management (SBM) - an end-to-end remote management
framework for Internet enabled devices. In SBM, client devices securely
communicate over the public Internet for device management specific services
such as remote registration, remote configuration, dynamic updates (downloads)
and device diagnostic uploads with the SBM server. The SBM client device is a
smart box - a... hiện toàn bộ
This paper discusses the multicast routing problem with multiple QoS
constraints, which may deal with the delay, delay jitter, bandwidth and packet
loss metrics, and describes a network model for researching the routing problem.
It presents a distributed multicast routing protocol (DMRP). The DMRP attempts
to significantly reduce the overhead of constructing a multicast tree with
multiple QoS cons... hiện toàn bộ
The tremendous demands from the social market are pushing the development of
mobile communications faster than ever before, leading to the emergence of many
new techniques. Within those techniques, mobility management has widely been
recognized as one of the most important problems for seamless access to wireless
networks and services. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for mobility
and mo... hiện toàn bộ

The emerging heterogeneous network environments and the wide widespread
deploying Internet applications introduce an interesting requirement: how to use
any type of Internet application with any type of device, on any type of
network. To this end, previous researchers have introduced concepts of adaptive
network architectures. They address problems associated with the heterogeneity
by using distri... hiện toàn bộ
For video sources the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) compression scheme has
become the defacto standard for video compression since then. However, even with
the huge reduction of bits that MPEG compression provides, it does not smooth
the video traffic. Indeed the variable bit rate (VBR) MPEG compression algorithm
guarantees that the MPEG stream will be bursty. A service, where an asynchronou... hiện toàn bộ

We propose an integrated quality of service (QoS) manager (IQM) that determines
and enforces the QoS given to HTTP requests that a Web server receives. In order
to determine the required QoS, both the identity of the client as well as the
URL being accessed are used. To provide end-to-end service guarantees, it is not
sufficient to provide QoS in the network layer or in the Web server alone. QoS

We present the finding of an investigation into an energy and performance
enhancing technique for TCP operating in wireless networking environments. This
technique, in contrast to other schemes that have been studied to date, is based
on the concept of minimizing the probability of packet loss in wireless links
rather than on error recovery. The scheme we propose intelligently suspends
transmissio... hiện toàn bộ

Firewalls are now an integral part of network security and a variety of
architectures have been developed. These architectures, however, are normally
static and offer little opportunity to adapt to common attacks or to take
account of past behaviour. To date, development in modifiable firewall
configurations has been very limited. We propose an extension to the semantics
of stateful packet filteri... hiện toàn bộ
In this paper, a buffer management scheme called pushout with global thresholds
(PGT) is proposed for a shared buffer ATM switch. The PGT can be viewed as the
combination of the per-port basis pushout and the global threshold schemes. The
key idea of the global threshold scheme is to separate the output ports into
active and inactive output ports according to whether their queue lengths are
larger... hiện toàn bộ

In this paper, we report the design and implementation of a new JINI/JAVA based
multimedia-streaming framework. It is modeled after the OMG A/V stream
specification with the additional support of multipoint-to-multipoint stream
(MMS). A receiver-based group communication mechanism is also proposed in this
framework to extend the semantics of membership management from joining/leaving
of individual... hiện toàn bộ
