Total order broadcast is a fundamental communication primitive that plays a central role in bringing cheap software-based high availability to a wide array of services. This paper studies the practical performance of such a primitive on a cluster of homoge ...
We consider the rate allocation problem when two users (each one associated with one receiver) send packets through a symmetric broadcast channel. Under the assumption that the packet lengths are exponentially distributed, we establish the delay optimality ...
The article analyzes the influence of the Internet Protocol (IP) access interface on the packet loss probability and delay times in the optical packet switched network. The network and node model have been proposed, and the structure of the IP access inter ...
