{"product_id":"scalable-performance-signalling-and-congestion-michael-welzl-9781402075704","title":"Scalable Performance Signalling and Congestion Avoidance","description":"This book answers a question which came about while the author was work- ing on his diploma thesis [1]: would it be better to ask for the available band- width instead of probing the network (like TCP does)? The diploma thesis was concerned with long-distance musical interaction (\"NetMusic\"). This is a very peculiar application: only a small amount of bandwidth may be necessary, but timely delivery and reduced loss are very important. Back then, these require- ments led to a thorough investigation of existing telecommunication network mechanisms, but a satisfactory answer to the question could not be found. Simply put, the answer is \"yes\" - this work describes a mechanism which indeed enables an application to \"ask for the available bandwidth\". This obvi- ously does not only concern online musical collaboration any longer. Among others, the mechanism yields the following advantages over existing alterna- tives: - good throughput while maintaining close to zero loss and a small bottleneck queue length - usefulness for streaming media applications due to a very smooth rate - feasibility for satellite and wireless links - high scalability Additionally, a reusable framework for future applications that need to \"ask the network\" for certain performance data was developed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Welzl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1402075707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781402075704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.72h x 6.22w x 0.60d","brand":"Michael Welzl","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48518315442431,"sku":"9781402075704","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f5446a4-f084-4ec3-b5c8-bc6c3ad6a856.jpg?v=1778734178","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scalable-performance-signalling-and-congestion-michael-welzl-9781402075704","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
