Scalable Reliable Multicast
S. Floyd, V. Jacobson, S. McCanne, C-G Liu, L. Zhang, “A Reliable Multicast Framework for Light-weight Sessions and Application Level Framing,” ACM SIGCOMM Conference, (August 1995). [PDF] Summary Unlike unicast transmissions where requirements for different reliable, sequential data delivery are fairly general, different multicast applications have different requirements for reliability. The authors argue that designing ...

MACAW: A Media Access Protocol for Wireless LANs
V. Bharghavan, A. Demers, S. Shenker, L. Zhang, “MACAW: A Media Access Protocol for Wireless LANs,” ACM SIGCOMM Conference, (August 1994). [PDF] Summary The media in a wireless network is a shared and scarce resource; as a result, controlling access to this shared media to maximize performance is one of the key issues in wireless ...

Core-Stateless Fair Queueing: Achieving Approximately Fair Bandwidth Allocations in High Speed Networks
I. Stoica, S. Shenker, H. Zhang, “Core-Stateless Fair Queueing: Achieving Approximately Fair Bandwidth Allocations in High Speed Networks,” ACM SIGCOMM, (August 1998). [PDF] Summary Fair resource (bandwidth, buffer etc.) allocation algorithms (e.g., Fair Queueing) in routers usually need to manage large number of states, buffers, and has to do packet scheduling on a per flow ...
