Optimizing multimedia content delivery over next-generation optical networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)This thesis analyzes the performance of a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) multimedia content delivery system for a network architecture based on next-generation Passive Optical Networks (PONs). A PON is an optical access technology ... -
Parasitic routing : using social network analysis for routing in disconnecting delay-tolerant MANETs
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)Message delivery in sparse Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) is difficult due to the fact that the network graph is rarely (if ever) connected. As a consequence, a full end-to-end path between nodes may not exist at any given ... -
Partition Anticipation for Wireless Local Area Networks
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2002-09)Wireless networks introduce new possibilities for computer networking. They also bring some new problems, while enhancing some already established ones. One new problem is a network's increased sensitivity to its environment, ... -
