Power grids, flexible manufacturing, cellular communications: interconnectedness has
consequences. This remarkable book gives the tools and philosophy you need to build …

Relaxed real time services that do not provide guaranteed loss rates or delay bounds are of
considerable interest in the Internet, since these services can achieve higher utilization than …

The goal of admission control is to support the quality-of-service demands of real-time
applications via resource reservation. We introduce a new approach to measurement-based …

Presenting a balance of theory and practice, this up-to-date guide provides a
comprehensive overview of the key issues in telecommunication network economics, as well …

We describe how a packet network with a simple pricing mechanism and no connection
acceptance control may be used to carry a telephony-like service with low packet loss and …

This paper describes a framework for admission control for a packet-based network where
the decisions are taken by edge devices or end-systems, rather than resources within the …

Pricing is one of the biggest challenges of the next generation of the Internet. Even if flat rate
pricing is probably one of the main reasons of the Internet success, the only way to prevent …

Many designs for integrated service networks offer a bounded delay packet delivery service
to support real-time applications. To provide bounded delay service, networks must use …

This paper introduces approximate analytical models to evaluate the performance of end-to-
end measurement based connection admission control (EMBAC) mechanisms, devised for …

It is proposed to apply an integrated admission control scheme to both streaming flows and
elastic flows. It is assumed that streaming flow packets are served with priority in network …
