A server farm is examined, where a number of servers are used to offer a service to impatient customers. Every completed request generates a certain amount of profit, running servers consume electricity for power and cooling, while waiting customers might leave the system before receiving service if they experience excessive delays. A dynamic allocation policy aiming at satisfying the conflicting...
Network virtualization has been proposed as a diversifying attribute of the future inter-networking paradigm. By allowing multiple heterogeneous network architectures to cohabit on a shared physical substrate, network virtualization provides flexibility, promotes diversity, and promises increased manageability. One of the most fundamental issues in network virtualization is to support multiple virtual...
It is pivotal to achieve delay-based fairness when users access the same content, especially in real-time services, from content-replicated servers based upon the client-server communication model. To resolve this issue, this letter proposes a novel server selection method of providing users with delay-based fairness from all the corresponding servers by applying the delay-based dynamic deficit round...
Because wireless stations independently select which access points to camp on, the total wireless station traffic on all available IEEE 802.11 network APs might be unevenly distributed. This load-balancing problem can lead to overloading and network congestion. This survey examines the problem, along with state-of-the-art network- and wireless-station-based solutions. It also presents experimental...
The major wireless operators are actively migrating their networks from circuit switched networks to all packet (IP) based next generation networks. One of the key issues impeding the migration is the associated cost. Though managing the CAPEX (CAPital EXpenditures) and OPEX (OPerational EXpenditure) has been the focus of the operators, minimizing the cost from the perspective of system design has...
