Conference on Computer Communications

Last updated

The IEEE Conference on Computer Communications (INFOCOM) addresses key topics and issues related to computer communications, with emphasis on traffic management and protocols for both wired and wireless networks. [1]

The first INFOCOM conference took place in the United States in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1982. Since then it has been held in many locations around the world, including China, Japan, Israel, Italy, Spain, and Brazil, as well as many other regions of the United States.

MPLS Fast Reroute is a local restoration network resiliency mechanism. It is actually a feature of resource reservation protocol (RSVP) traffic engineering (RSVP-TE). In MPLS local protection each label-switched path (LSP) passing through a facility is protected by a backup path which originates at the node immediately upstream to that facility.

A greedy source is a traffic generator in a communication network that generates data at the maximum rate possible and at the earliest opportunity possible. Each source always has data to transmit, and is never in idle state due to congestion avoidance or other local host traffic shaping. One new data-packet is generated when the transmission of previous packet is completed, meaning that the sender side queue is never congested. A greedy session is a time-limited packet flow or data stream at maximum possible rate.

Virtual output queueing (VOQ) is a technique used in certain network switch architectures where, rather than keeping all traffic in a single queue, separate queues are maintained for each possible output location. It addresses a common problem known as head-of-line blocking.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Transition (computer science)</span>

Transition refers to a computer science paradigm in the context of communication systems which describes the change of communication mechanisms, i.e., functions of a communication system, in particular, service and protocol components. In a transition, communication mechanisms within a system are replaced by functionally comparable mechanisms with the aim to ensure the highest possible quality, e.g., as captured by the quality of service.

Richard Lewis Mattson is an American computer scientist known for his pioneering work on using memory trace data to simulate the performance of the memory hierarchy. He developed the stack distance profile, and used it to model page misses in virtual memory systems as a function of the amount of real memory available. The same methods have been applied as well more recently for modeling the behavior of CPU caches at lower levels of the memory hierarchy, and of web caches for internet content.
