A VC-Based API for Renegotiable QoS in Wireless ATM Networks

Overview Quality of Service (QoS) support for multimedia applications has been widely discussed in the context of high speed wired networks. As interest increases in wireless ATM networks that extend the connection to a wireless endpoint, the issue of QoS over a wireless link has to be addressed. This paper focuses on the pr provision of QoS at the application level in a wireless environment. The work includes the design of an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows applications to specify and renegotiate the QoS level during a call; as well as the implementation of such API in a wireless ATM testbed: the SWAN system.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Getting thinner fast

It also turns out that using a wired LAN connection is also a rare event in my life. So when my new machine does arrive it will also lack wired LAN and FireWire ports - and, most dramatic of all, no CD/DVD drive.

Virtual tech will 'kill the office'

Eventually, he predicts, bandwidth across different types of networks will converge so the type of network being used does not impact on the experience of the user - be it wi-fi, cellular or wired. Q is for QoS

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
