Banishing Patch-Cables from LAN Parties
نویسنده
چکیده
Although playing real-time multi-player games online over the Internet became more and more popular in the past few years, people still enjoy meeting for so-called “LAN Parties” because of higher social interaction. As the number of participants increases, the deployment of the required infrastructure (i.e. the LAN) however gets more and more bothersome. With the current availability of computers featuring WLAN support, substituting the LAN by an infrastructureless ad-hoc network seems a long awaited and time-saving step. This paper investigates how the wireless environment, its scarce bandwidth and the strong requirements of multi-player games regarding packet latencies constrain the number of a WLAN party’s participants.

PatchMaker: A Physical Network Patch Manager Tool
PatchMaker is a network management tool that tracks and stores descriptions of physical network patches in a database. Physical patches are cables that connect switches, patch panels, and room ports. PatchMaker allows administrators to manage switch ports from multiple vendors giving them the ability to enable/disable ports, make VLAN changes, and perform other switch port functions through a c...
متن کاملLive cell imaging of the assembly, disassembly, and actin cable–dependent movement of endosomes and actin patches in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Using FM4-64 to label endosomes and Abp1p-GFP or Sac6p-GFP to label actin patches, we find that (1) endosomes colocalize with actin patches as they assemble at the bud cortex; (2) endosomes colocalize with actin patches as they undergo linear, retrograde movement from buds toward mother cells; and (3) actin patches interact with and disassemble at FM4-64-labeled internal compartments. We also s...
متن کاملOn the Transport Capability of LAN Cables
Centralized Radio Access Network (C-RAN) architecture is the only viable solution to handle the complex interference scenario generated by massive antennas and small cells deployment as required by next generation (5G) mobile networks. In conventional C-RAN, the fronthaul links used to exchange the signal between Base Band Units (BBUs) and Remote Antenna Units (RAUs) are based on digital baseba...
متن کاملThe Yeast V159N Actin Mutant Reveals Roles for Actin Dynamics In Vivo
Actin with a Val 159 to Asn mutation (V159N) forms actin filaments that depolymerize slowly because of a failure to undergo a conformational change after inorganic phosphate release. Here we demonstrate that expression of this actin results in reduced actin dynamics in vivo, and we make use of this property to study the roles of rapid actin filament turnover. Yeast strains expressing the V159N ...
متن کاملThe Saccharomyces cerevisiae Arf3 protein is involved in actin cable and cortical patch formation.
We show that Arf3p, a member of the ADP ribosylation family, is involved in the organization of actin cables and cortical patches in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Profilin-deficient cells (pfy1Delta) have severe growth defects and lack actin cables. Overexpression of ARF3 restores actin cables and corrects growth defects in these cells. Cells deficient for the cortical patch proteins Las17p and Vrp...
