Abstract

Developed specifically to enable research in TCP/IP networking, the M5 simulator provides features necessary for simulating networked hosts, including full-system capability, a detailed I/O subsystem, and the ability to simulate multiple networked systems deterministically. M5's usefulness as a general-purpose architecture simulator and its liberal open-source license have led to its adoption by several academic and commercial groups.

TCP tunnels: avoiding congestion collapse
LCN '00: Proceedings of the 25th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks

This paper examines the attributes of TCP tunnels which are TCP circuits that carry IP packets and benefit from the congestion control mechanism of TCP/IP. The deployment of TCP tunnels reduces the many flows situation on the Internet to that of a few ...
Domain Constrained Multicast: A New Approach for IP Multicast Routing

One of major reasons why IP multicast has not been well deployed is the complexity of IP multicast routing. Since existing IP multicast routing protocols have been designed independently of IP unicast routing protocols, a router must maintain routing ...
A case for context-aware TCP/IP

This paper discusses the design and evaluation of CATNIP, a Context-Aware Transport/Network Internet Protocol for the Web. This integrated protocol uses application-layer knowledge (i.e., Web document size) to provide explicit context information to the ...
