This paper presents a description and performance evaluation of an efficient and reliable edge-detection tool that utilize the growing computational power of local area networks (LANs). It is therefore referred to as LAN-based edge detection (LANED) tool. The processor-farm methodology is used in porting the sequential edge-detection calculations to run efficiently on the LAN. In this methodolo...

Wireless Communication is an application of science and technology that has come to be vital for modern existence. From the early radio and telephone to current devices such as mobile phones and laptops, accessing the global network has become the most essential and indispensable part of our lifestyle. Wireless communication is an ever developing field, and the future holds many possibilities i...

This memo describes a framework for supporting IETF Integrated Services on shared and switched LAN infrastructure. It includes background material on the capabilities of IEEE 802 like networks with regard to parameters that affect Integrated Services such as access latency, delay variation and queueing support in LAN switches. It discusses aspects of IETF’s Integrated Services model that cannot...

LAN interconnection is expected to be the rst service ooered by ATM based B-ISDN. Since traac on the current LANs is connectionless and bursty, the main challenge will be to provide an eecient con-nectionless service over connection oriented ATM network. One of the methods proposed for transporting bursty LAN traac over ATM is to set up an ATM connection upon arrival of a burst and close the co...

Wireless LAN hotspots are becoming widely spread. This, combined with the availability of new multi-mode terminals integrating heterogeneous technologies, opens new business opportunities for Mobile Operators. Scenarios in which 3G coverage is complemented by Wireless LAN deployments are becoming available. Therefore all IP based networks are ready to offer a new variety of services across hete...
