Differentiated Services architecture provides a framework that enables relative differentiation of Assured Forwarding (AF) service. The differentiation is quantified by QoS parameters in terms of loss probability and maximum delay. We develop herein an efficient model to compute resource allocation in terms of buffer and service rate that satisfies the QoS differentiation between classes of service. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, we conducted extensive simulation on both single-node and multi-node cases. The simulation studies show that the model can provide an efficient method to allocate network resources for aggregated traffic.

Supporting Quality of Service (QoS) over the Internet is a very important issue and many mechanism have been already devised or are under way towards achieving this goal. One of the most important approaches is the class-based architecture, which provides a scalable mechanism for QoS support in a TCP/IP network. Class-based service differentiation can be realized without resource reservation, admission control and traffic policing. However, the resulting services are only relative. While it is, in principle, not feasible to provision for absolute guarantees without admission control and/or traffic policing, such a service can be reasonably well emulated using adaptive rate allocation at the link scheduler of routers. In this paper, we propose mechanism for link scheduler of router that achieve emulated absolute and other relative guarantees using dynamic weighted fair queueing (DWFQ) combining with class packet dropping. The weights of DWFQ are frequently adjusted to current load conditions and based on prediction of realistic class traffic. These mechanisms can realize many approaches to QoS guarantees and class-based differentiation.

DHT routing algorithms can provide efficient mechanisms for resource placement and lookup for distributed file sharing systems. However, we must still deal with irregular and frequent join/leave of nodes and the problem of load unbalancing between nodes in DHT-based file sharing systems. This paper presents an efficient file backup scheme based on dynamic DHT key space clustering in order to guarantee data availability and support load balancing. The main idea of our method is to dynamically divide the DHT network into a number of clusters, each of which locally stores and maintains data chunks of data files to guarantee the data availability of user data files even when node churn occurs. Further, high-capacity nodes in clusters are selected as backup nodes to achieve adequate load balancing. Simulation results demonstrate the superior effectiveness of the proposed scheme over other file replication schemes.

A new expression for cell/packet loss probability in an ATM and packet switched queue system with a finite buffer is presented. Cell and packet loss analysis is based on the new concept of a "buffer overflow cluster" and the overflow probability for a queue with an infinite buffer. This approach holds for a wide variety of long-range dependent traffic sources typical of wide-area networks, as well as Internet and other communication traffics. The method is verified by simulations of two long-range dependent traffic scenarios: fractional Gaussian noise and multifractal wavelet model traffic with a beta marginal distribution.
This paper illustrates various content sharing systems that take advantage of cloud's storage and computational resources as well as their supporting conventional technologies. First, basic technology concepts supporting cloud-based systems from a client-server to cloud computing as well as their relationships and functional linkages are shown. Second, the taxonomy of cloud-based system models from the aspect of multiple clouds' interoperability is explained. Interoperability can be categorized into provider-centric and client-centric scenarios. Each can be further divided into federated clouds, hybrid clouds, multi-clouds and aggregated service by broker. Third, practical cloud-based systems related to contents sharing are reported and their characteristics are discussed. Finally, future direction of cloud-based content sharing is suggested.

A simple nation-wide core network architecture based on the optimized combination of WDM and OTDM technologies in a two-tier structure network is proposed. The dynamic timeslot allocation in a fixed length frame structure associated with the wavelength routing scheme creates a virtual path with variable bandwidth for edge-to-edge transport of any type of packet protocol without O-E-O conversion. The simulation results show that dynamic timeslot assignment with bandwidth reservation is the best alternative for the network bandwidth utilization efficiency. The influence of the delay caused by the physical size of the network during the request-acknowledgement process is also discussed.

Various kinds of content replication strategies in pure P2P networks have recently been examined. However, such strategies have not been thoroughly considered in hybrid P2P networks. In a hybrid P2P network, the target content can easily be found because there is a server that controls each peer and its content. Therefore, it is important to decrease futile storage resource consumption, since the data search cost through the network is relatively small. This paper proposes an effective content replication strategy that takes into account storage capacity restrictions. In brief, this method restricts the number of contents replicas possessed by a peer using threshold-based control by relocating or deleting excess replicas. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the proposal is evaluated using computer simulations.

This paper presents an efficient scheme for access bandwidth control for VBR (Variable Bit Rate) traffic between radio mobile terminals and their base stations in a WATM (Wireless ATM) network. After introducing the wireless ATM system model, we describe a new algorithm that enables dynamic slot allocation under TDMA/TDD (Time Division Multiple Access/Time Division Duplex) Media Access Control, making use of UPC (Usage Parameter Control) parameters and traffic characteristics. We show more efficient bandwidth utilization with our proposed algorithm, compared to other conventional algorithms. Moreover, we reveal that our algorithm improves cell transmission delays.

In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm of quick routing for private Wireless ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) networks. This algorithm uses hierarchical source routing, which first establishes a connection between the sending node and the home node (which has the terminal location information), and then, partially releases the connection and reroutes it between the sending node and the receiving node. This results in less delay than found in other conventional routing methods, and avoids passing through congested nodes, because this algorithm uses traffic estimation based on queuing theory. We also show the effectiveness of this algorithm with the use of computer simulations.
