Peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks have been proposed to solve routing problems of big distributed infrastructures, even for Internet scale. But the research community has been questioning the security of these networks ...

This letter presents a new and simple model for a TCP flow experiencing random packet losses due to both transmission errors and congestion events. From this model, we will derive a straightforward expression of a unified ...

In this paper, we review the workflow of the channel and physical layer modules in VANET simulations and briefly survey some of the most used propagation and packet error models in network simulators for this kind of ...

Buffer overflow is an important phenomenon in data networks that has much bearing on the overall network performance. Such overflow critically depends on the amount of storage space allotted to the transmission channels. ...

Machine-to-machine networks are spreading over every sector of our society due to their self-organisation capabilities. In these networks, thousands of devices are left unattended for years of operation without the possibility ...

Personalized information systems are information-filtering systems that endeavor to tailor information-exchange functionality to the specific interests of their users. The ability of these systems to profile users is, on ...
