Evaluation of the Available Bit Rate Service Category in ATM Networks

Tags:
atm

Overview This paper evaluates various aspects of the ABR flow control schemes using three different evaluation techniques: analysis, simulation and experiments. A discrete-time Markov model allows the evaluation of the influence of different system parameters (distance between source and switch, burstiness of CBR/VBR traffic, time in between computation of Allowed Cell Rate and burstiness of ABR traffic)) on the ABR traffic throughput and the ABR buffer requirements. This study leads to some simple engineering rules for the ABR service category. The paper investigates through simulation the ability of the ERICA+ switch algorithm to provide minimum throughput guarantees to Internet TCP/IP traffic.

The virus at 20: Two decades of malware

We have also seen the increase in the use of 'social engineering' - techniques used by virus writers to encourage computer users to open emails and activate viruses. Then came social engineering - best utilised by The Love Bug and Kournikova.

Symantec makes another anti-spam acquisition

Using features inherent in the TCP/IP, it can limit the amount of traffic being sent from these sources. While that approach is still baseline, products based on other techniques are now available. The company, based in Cupertino, California, also...

Will's Web Watch: Been let down by an e-tailer?

Areas e-tailers should also consider are the effectiveness of their customer service, loyalty schemes (a great churn-buster which is yet to effectively transition from the high street to the internet) and after-sales care.

Radioactive: Today a jam, tomorrow the open road?

The next step in automotive engineering is using radar and ultrasound to detect other objects and traffic flow characteristics. These measures may improve traffic flow but the UK's roads are already close to bursting.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
