Thin client remote desktop protocols are now mature enough to work efficiently over low bandwidth and low quality links for normal office applications. However, they face significant challenges when working with more demanding data flows such as multimedia streams. This paper introduces the server-side component of the architecture for remote desktop environment aiming at improving user perception of the more demanding and network sensitive multimedia applications and services. Our component maps of user-perceived quality of service (QoS) onto network-level performance parameters in order to improve overall end-to-end QoS. The set of perception rules defined for each application and type of user triggers the adaptation mechanisms to change the transmission parameters in order to meet end user expectations. The adaptation mechanisms can optimize the usage of the available network resources within a dedicated network link both for different flows within single client connection and for all clients connected to the same server module. The result of such an optimization is a new set of connection parameters adjusted to network state changes and user perception of remote desktop. In the paper we discuss requirements of such QoS control mechanisms and respective adaptation mechanisms, followed by the detailed description of the proposed component architecture.","PeriodicalId":435785,"journal":{"name":"Next Generation Internet Networks, 2005","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116736558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But none of them except NAT has been deployed successfully, mainly due to the requirement of modification of hosts and/or routers and the lack of scalable accessibility from the public IPv4 Internet to their realms. Recently UNA was presented to provide that scalable accessibility, with no modification of routers and hosts. It is still anticipated, however, that it would take a long time until IPv6 or other technology replaces IPv4 entirely. But it is urgent that the address space shortage problem be solved and that value-added services such as QoS and mobility be provided. In this paper, we discuss about the reorganization of the IPv4 Internet into a multi-tier architecture as a possible way of evolving the Internet, which can support a larger address space and deal with security, QoS, multicast, mobility and so on. As such an architecture, we present MTI (Multi-Tier Internet), in which UNA and MTAII are integrated, without forcing any modification of routers and hosts for easy deployment.","PeriodicalId":435785,"journal":{"name":"Next Generation Internet Networks, 2005","volume":"282 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131521291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For customers, rightful service is given while optimizing revenue of the network service provider. A gradient and fixed point type algorithms for updating the weights of a packet scheduler are derived from a revenue-based optimization problem. In the linear pricing scenario, algorithms are simple to implement. We compared algorithms with optimal brute-force method. Especially fixed point algorithm converges very fast to the optimal solution, typically in one iteration and about 40 operations, when number of classes is three. The weight updating procedures are independent on the assumption of the connections' statistical behavior, and therefore they are robust against erroneous estimates of statistics. Also, a call admission control (CAC) is implemented in context of our scenario.","PeriodicalId":435785,"journal":{"name":"Next Generation Internet Networks, 2005","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129641857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work we are investigating the performance of an eDonkey-based mobile P2P file-sharing system by means of time-dynamic simulation. Mobile networks differ from wireline networks by the limited capacity of the radio link and the mobility of the users. P2P networks, in contrast, are overlays which consider the transport network in an abstract way. In a mobile environment, the question arises, whether the abstraction can be maintained and what will be the performance impact if there is any. We will show in detail how the mobile access technology (GPRS or UMTS), the churn behavior of mobile users, the file size of mobile specific content, and special infrastructure entities, such as a cache peer, influences the performance of the suggested mobile P2P file-sharing service.","PeriodicalId":435785,"journal":{"name":"Next Generation Internet Networks, 2005","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129884459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, BGP routing choice is made based on a minimum cost criterion where the goal of each operator is to minimize its costs. We investigate some particular strategies of updating prices that operators can use locally in order to minimize their costs.

The numerical evaluation carried out shows that the QoS objective is met with an excellent precision and the convergence period is much shorter than in previous proposals (approximately in the range of a thousand seconds), confirming that our approach can satisfactorily deal with the nonstationarity of an operating network. Two other key features of our scheme are its simplicity and time independency.","PeriodicalId":435785,"journal":{"name":"Next Generation Internet Networks, 2005","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131456999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each domain decides what intra-domain connection alternatives it advertises for inter-domain traffic and what the key attributes are of these intra-domain connections (allocation cost, latency, bandwidth or confidence level of availability). The advertised parameters affect the routing algorithm, the selected inter-domain path as well as the payoff of all the operators. As the broadband communication networks become optical, our model assumes a two layer network consisting of autonomous domains, where the optical cross-connects have limited wavelength conversion capability. In this paper we study the dependency of the domain income and the advertised cost of connection alternatives, assuming \"cheapest-path\" routing. We examined basic scenarios of inter-domain routing and determined Nash and Pareto equilibrium for different network load levels, where provider tariffs and end-user satisfaction were taken into account simultaneously. Beside analytical results, we ran simulations which met our expectations.","PeriodicalId":435785,"journal":{"name":"Next Generation Internet Networks, 2005","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132187669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
