Protocols for loosely synchronous networks

چکیده
This paper overviews a novel transfer mode for B-ISDN: Loosely-synchronous Transfer Mode (LTM). LTM operates by signaling periphery nodes when destinations become available. No frame structure is imposed by LTM, thus avoiding adaptation layers. Additionally, LTM can deliver a spectrum of guaranteed quality of services. New Synchronous Protocol Stacks (SPSs) build on LTM by synchronizing their activities to LTM signals. Such signals can be delivered directly to applications that may synchronize its operations to transmissions, thus minimizing buffering due to synchronization mismatches. SPSs can use current transport protocols unchanged and, potentially, enhance them with the real-time capabilities made possible through LTM. Keyword Code: C.2.1; C.2.2; C.2.3

Universally Composable Synchronous Computation
In synchronous networks, protocols can achieve security guarantees that are not possible in an asynchronous world: i.e., they can simultaneously achieve input completeness (all honest parties’ inputs are included in the computation) and guaranteed termination (honest parties do not “hang” indefinitely). In practice truly synchronous networks rarely exist, but synchrony can be emulated if channe...
متن کاملDiffusive Load Balancing of Loosely-Synchronous Parallel Programs over Peer-to-Peer Networks
The use of under-utilized Internet resources is widely recognized as a viable form of high performance computing. Sustained processing power of roughly 40T FLOPS using 4 million volunteered Internet hosts has been reported for embarrassingly parallel problems. At the same time, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, with more than 50 million participants, have demonstrated the capacity for s...
متن کاملRelaxation Oscillators with Time Delay Coupling
We study networks of relaxation oscillators coupled with time delay synapses. A pair of oscillators is analyzed and shown to attain loosely synchronous solutions for a wide range of initial conditions and time delays. Simulations of one and two dimensional oscillator networks indicate that locally coupled oscillators are also loosely synchronous. Desynchronous solutions are possible when system...
متن کاملApplication of Radial Basis Neural Networks in Fault Diagnosis of Synchronous Generator
This paper presents the application of radial basis neural networks to the development of a novel method for the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of synchronous generators. In the proposed scheme, flux linkage analysis is used to reach a decision. Probabilistic neural network (PNN) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) are used in design of fault diagnosis system. PNN as main part of thi...
متن کاملNetwork Working Group Framework for Generalized Multi-protocol Label Switching (gmpls)-based Control of Synchronous Digital Hierarchy/synchronous Optical Networking (sdh/sonet) Networks
Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) is a suite of protocol extensions to MPLS to make it generally applicable, to include, for example, control of non packet-based switching, and particularly, optical switching. One consideration is to use GMPLS protocols to upgrade the control plane of optical transport networks. This document illustrates this process by describing those extensi...
