- Measuring End-to-End Bandwidth With Iperf Using Web100
- End-to-end bandwidth estimation tools like Iperf though fairly accurate are intrusive. This paper describes how with an instrumented TCP stack (Web100), one can estimate the end-to-end bandwidth accurately, while consuming significantly less network bandwidth and time. The paper modified Iperf to use Web100 to detect the end of slow-start and...

- Landmark Selection and Greedy Landmark-Descent Routing for Sensor Networks
- This paper study the problem of landmark selection for landmark-based routing in a network of fixed wireless communication nodes. It present a distributed landmark selection algorithm that does not rely on global clock synchronization, and a companion local greedy landmark-based routing scheme. The paper assumes no node location information, and...

- Interconnecting wind farms
- Wind power is one the world's fastest growing electric energy source, but as wind is intermittent, a single wind farm cannot deliver a steady amount of energy. This is why scientists at Stanford University want to connect wind farms to develop a cheaper and reliable power source. Interconnecting wind farms...

- A Simulation Study of Packet Path Diversity for TCP File Transfer and Media Transport on the Internet
- This paper studies the performance of TCP-based media transport when combined with Packet Path Diversity PPD in the Internet. A simple PPD-TCP transport scheme is presented where the ACKnowledgments ACKs from the receiver are duplicated and sent across independent network paths. It also investigates a PPD-TCP scheme where in addition...

- Hierarchical Placement and Network Design Problems
- This paper gives the first constant-approximations for a number of layered network design problems. It begins by modeling hierarchical caching, where caches are placed in layers and each layer satisfies a fixed percentage of the demand bounded miss rates. The paper presents a constant approximation to the minimum total cost...

- High-performance flexible organic transistors
- Organic -- or carbon-based -- transistors are not new and can be used to design flexible computer displays, RFID tags and sensors. However, these organic single crystals could not be mass-produced because they needed to be individually handpicked. But now, researchers at Stanford University and the University of California-Los Angeles...
