Performance comparison of error control schemes in high-speed computer communication networks
TLDR
The authors find that for the range of network parameters of practical interest, an end-to-end approach towards error control is superior to a link-by-link approach, even under assumptions that would overly favor the link- by- link approach.Abstract:
The authors examine the performance of two different approaches for handling the loss and/or corruption of messages as they are transmitted between two end users in a high-speed network. In the link-by-link approach, two adjacent nodes in an end-to-end path locally detect and recover from message loss or corruption along their joining link. In the end-to-end approach, recovery is done solely on the basis of a single end-to-end protocol. The authors develop analytic performance models, validated with simulation, for comparing the performance of these two approaches. The authors find that for the range of network parameters of practical interest, an end-to-end approach towards error control is superior to a link-by-link approach, even under assumptions that would overly favor the link-by-link approach, while at the same time requiring fewer network resources (e.g. buffers, computation time) than the link-by-link approach. The performance differences arise primarily from the increased buffer requirements of the link-by-link approach. >read more

ReInForM: reliable information forwarding using multiple paths in sensor networks
TL;DR: This paper describes a protocol called RelnForM to deliver packets at desired reliability at a proportionate communication cost, and shows that for uniform unit disk graphs, the number of edge-disjoint paths between nodes is equal to the average node degree with very high probability.

Survey of traffic control schemes and protocols in ATM networks
J.J. Bae,Tatsuya Suda +1 more
TL;DR: The authors survey a number of important research topics in ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) networks, including mathematical modeling of various types of traffic sources, congestion-control and error-control schemes for ATM networks, and priority schemes to support multiple classes of traffic.

Adaptive forward error correction system and method
TL;DR: In this paper, an adaptive forward error correction (FEC) protocol for use in an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) communication network is provided, where FEC encoding is performed on protocol data units (PDUs) within a payload to form the FEC encoded payload only when the feasibility condition is met.

Link-by-link congestion control for packet transmission systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a packet transmission system includes a mechanism for controling congestion in the transmission system by comparing, at each switching node of the system, the traffic load at that node and the traffic loads at all immediately neighboring switching nodes.

Information assurance in sensor networks
TL;DR: This paper proposes a new scheme for information delivery at a desired reliability using hop-by-hop broadcast, and shows how the wireless broadcast can be utilized to increase the packet delivery rate at each hop and attain a wanted reliability at minimal cost.

The Knockout Switch: A Simple, Modular Architecture for High-Performance Packet Switching
TL;DR: The Knockout Switch as discussed by the authors uses a fully interconnected switch fabric topology (i.e., each input has a direct path to every output) so that no switch blocking occurs where packets destined for one output interfere with (block or delay) packets going to different Outputs.

Design of an Integrated Services Packet Network
TL;DR: It is argued that the evolutionary approach inherent in current ISDN proposals is unlikely to provide an effective long-term solution and a more revolutionary approach, based on the use of advanced packet-switching technology is advocated.
