- Efficient Use of Memory Bandwidth to Improve Network Processor Throughput
- This paper considers the efficiency of packet buffers used in packet switches built using Network Processors NPs. Packet buffers are typically implemented using DRAM, which provides plentiful buffering at a reasonable cost. The problem addressed in this paper is that a typical NP workload may be unable to utilize the...

- Competitive Analysis of Buffer Policies With SLA Commitments
- This paper considers an abstraction of the problem of managing buffers where traffic is subject to service level agreements SLA. The service provider must on one hand deliver all committed packets, and on the other hand can get extra revenue for any excess packet delivered. Using competitive analysis, they have...

- Dynamic Input Buffer Allocation (DIBA) for Fault Tolerant Ethernet Packet Switching
- This paper describes a new fault-tolerant architecture to realize an Ethernet layer-2 switch. This architecture includes a memory buffer scheduler to assign memory buffers dynamically to the input ports of the switch. To evaluate this architecture and produce throughput and latency projections, the paper has developed a switch simulator called...

- Mac versus Windows vulnerability stats for 2007I'm sure......certain people would say that this can only mean one of three things:1. Microsoft simply isn't reporting and fixing its flaws, since Windows obviously must have more flaws than OS X.2. Microsoft is fixing flaws "stealthily" and not reporting them.3. You're a Microsoft...

- TCP WestwoodVT: A Novel Technique for Discriminating the Cause of Packet Loss in Wireless Networks
- Conventional TCP in wireless environment cannot differentiate packet losses caused by network congestion from those caused by wireless link errors, thus, resulting in severe performance degradation. Accordingly, efficient operation of TCP in wireless networks is a critical issue in the context of differentiation between packet loss. Towards this issue, the...

- Design and Performance of FDL Buffers in Optical Switches
- A key technique for reducing packet blocking in optical switches is by temporarily buffering packets in Fiber Delay Lines FDLs. The packet blocking probability depends on the FDLs design as well as on how packets are scheduled to the FDL buffers. This study compares between the blocking probabilities of the...

- Dynamic Ethernet Link Shutdown for Energy Conservation on Ethernet Links
- Off late studies of network traffic utilization on campus networks have shown that data networks remain heavily under-utilized. Yet currently there is little attempt to save energy on network interfaces by using the low power modes available in Ethernet transceivers during periods of inactivity or low utilization. This paper designs...
