- On the Scalability of an Image Transcoding Proxy Server
- Image transcoding proxies are used to improve Web browsing over low bandwidth networks by adapting content-rich web images to bandwidth-constrained clients. Such transcoding proxies dynamically analyze, manipulate and transcode images (e.g. quality reduction, down sampling) on the fly enabling significant reductions in download times over low bandwidth links. However, transcoding...

- Optical Switching and Wire-Speed Packet Processing in Optical Backbone Networks
- In this paper, the wire-speed packet processing issue is analyzed for Optical Packet/Burst Switching (OPS/OBS) switching nodes, and wavelength-routing WR switching nodes. Some assumptions are made which allow to obtain simple estimates of these values, which are then compared with the packet processing performance of commercial electronic devices which implement...
