Vehicular ad-hoc networks will soon support a wide variety of inter-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside applications. In many cases these networks will also co-exist with battery operated networks such as those deployed for sensor and mesh networked applications. In these latter types of networks, mesh node energy efficiency is often of paramount importance. This paper proposes improvements in mesh network...
Emerging Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies have enabled various types of content to be efficiently distributed over the Internet. Most P2P systems adopt selfish peer selection schemes in the application layer that in some sense optimize the user quality of experience. On the network side, traffic engineering (TE) is deployed by ISPs in order to achieve overall efficient network resource utilization...
Multicast routing consists in sending information in computer networks to a selective number of destinations. QoS and Traffic Engineering requirements can also be considered in such kind of routing, leading to the need of optimizing a set of objectives subject to constraints. We investigated algorithms to perform the calculus of multicast routes while minimizing four objectives - maximum link utilization,...
In this work, we study the traffic adjustment over multipath network in the presence of both inelastic and elastic traffic flows. The characteristics of these two types of traffic differ significantly. Hence, earlier approaches that focus on homogeneous scenarios with a single traffic type are not directly applicable. We formulate a new traffic adjustment problem based on time series prediction and...
Traffic engineering (TE) has become a challenging task for network management and resources optimization due to traffic uncertainty and to the difficulty to predict traffic variations. To address this uncertainty in a robust and efficient way, two almost antagonist approaches have emerged during the last years: robust routing and dynamic load-balancing. The former copes with traffic uncertainty in...
Due to the massive popularity and spread of internet and advent of many new multimedia applications like Video Conferencing etc, the issue of multicast routing with multiple quality of service (QoS) constraints becomes more important. For Example, in order to ensure smooth playback of multimedia data, a video conference require guarantee on both end to end delay and loss probability. Artificial Immune...
Internet traffic is highly dynamic and difficult to predict in current network scenarios. This makes of traffic engineering (TE) a very challenging task for network management and resources optimization. We study the problem of intradomain routing optimization under this traffic uncertainty. Recent works have proposed robust optimization techniques to tackle the problem, conceiving the robust routing...
Routing for link state routing protocols such as OSPF is determined by computing shortest-paths on the network topology graph. In conventional routing the OSPF link costs are configured a-priori before the network is deployed, and remain fixed until manually changed. If subsequently, link quality degrades or alternate links become available, routing paths may become sub-optimal in terms of throughput...
The use of inverse-multiplexing with diverse-path routing techniques in transport networks is expected to satisfy the traffic demands at the expense of lower capacity requirements. However, when the traffic between two nodes is routed over multiple paths, the different flows have different arrival times at the destination node. In order to compensate for this difference, known as differential delay,...
Many efforts have been devoted to maximizing network throughput in a multi-channel multi-radio wireless mesh network. Current solutions are based on either pure static or pure dynamic channel allocation approaches. In this paper, we propose a hybrid multi-channel multi-radio wireless mesh networking architecture, where each mesh node has both static and dynamic interfaces. We first present an Adaptive...
In recent years application-level networking (e.g. overlay networks, P2P networks) has become key enabling architecture for supporting distributed services on the Internet. We consider overlays to have delay and cost requirements and thus there exists an optimal distribution of the overlay traffic (the service engineering problem) across multi-domain underlay networks such that these requirements...
Whereas multicast transmission in one-to-many communications allows the operator to save drastically network resources, it also makes the routing of the traffic flows more complex than in unicast transmissions. The use of the genetic algorithms (GA) is presented, which can considerably reduce the number of solutions to be evaluated and helps to find the appropriate combination of the trees to comply...
Delay-sensitive Internet traffic, such as live streaming video, voice over IP, and multimedia teleconferencing, requires low end-to-end delay in order to maintain its interactive and streaming nature. In recent years, the popularity of delay-sensitive applications has been rapidly growing. This paper provides a protocol that minimizes the end-to-end delay experienced by inelastic traffic. We take...
To minimize the large handover delays associated with mobile IPv6 numerous micro-mobility protocols were proposed. In this paper, we consider the mobility agent (MA) based family of micro-mobility protocols such as hierarchical mobile IPv6 and proxy mobile IPv6 and focus on the issue of the bottlenecks that MAs can lead up to under high network load. We propose a Dynamic QoS aware route optimization...
The next generation broadband wireless access networks are expected to support a variety of multimedia rich applications which can lead to very high traffic demand. With the development of high speed radio access technologies the backhaul network can become the bottleneck if not upgraded and configured optimally to support the expected increase in date rates and traffic demands. To deliver high data...
