Languages for service Languages for service creationcreation

Traditionally, telecom services created by switch vendors

Web model: allow users and organizations to create custom services

Two models: sip-cgi and CPL Sip-cgi: cgi scripts for call handling

Mobile ad-hoc networks: Mobile ad-hoc networks: 7DS7DS

Wireless infrastructure slow to emerge (Metricom , 3G $$$)

802.11b cheap and simple to deploy

Mobile devices spread data in densely populated areas (e.g., NYC)

7DS7DS

Content-independent: works for any web object

Uses standard caching mechanism After 25’, 90% of interested users

have data (25 hosts/ ) Also, data upload:

2km

Ad-hoc wireless Ad-hoc wireless infrastructureinfrastructure

7DS research issues7DS research issues Effects of power conservation,

collaboration mechanism, wireless coverage range, density of devices on information dissemination e.g., how fast does information

spread in such setting ? what is the average delay that a host experience until it gets the data ?

Performance analysis via simulations and diffusion controlled processes theory

Fairness for multicastFairness for multicast

Intolerant (loss&delay) applications will use DiffServ Premium services, while tolerant applications can use Assured services;

Multimedia flows multicast to heterogeneous receivers will use Assured services;

Problem: Resources aren’t fairly distributed between flows inside a DiffServ service.

Differentiated Service (DiffServ) networks Differentiated Service (DiffServ) networks divide traffic into different service quality divide traffic into different service quality levels, considering their quality levels, considering their quality requirements:requirements:

Multi-receiver fair Multi-receiver fair allocationallocation

The number of receivers in each multicast flow;

A maximal utilization of resources; Differential dropping between flows that

overpass their share of service resources; A Multi-Receiver Utilization Maximal fair

mechanism (MRUM) is being developed.
