This paper presents a comparative analysis of two resource reservation protocols, ST-II [6] and RSVP [7], in support of an Integrated Services Packet Network (ISPN). We use simulations to examine the network-wide resource requirements for each protocol to support a number of application communication styles, across a range of group sizes and membership distributions. We also present a compariso...

‘Children’s perspectives on integrated services’ tackles a paramount issue which is still disregarded in many countries because the key proponents do not have a strong voice in our societies: children and youth. Mary Kellett compensates for that by describing the measures taken in England to create integrated services for children and young people, encompassing not only health and social care, ...

Background Integration of services for prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV into routine maternal and child health care has been promoted as a priority strategy by WHO to help optimize health outcomes for mother and children [1]. However, integrated services require a shift in the management model from providing stand-alone services to integrating services, which requires m...

Özet. Bu çalışmada kurumsal firmaların sahip oldukları PBX santrallerine, merkezi VoIP santral üzerinden yönlendirme servisleri verilebilmesine ilişkin deneyim paylaşılmıştır. Burada, VoIP santral ile PBX aboneleri ISDN PRI protokolü kullanarak haberleşmişlerdir. Netaş’ın yazılım ürün sahipliği yaptığı merkezi VoIP santraller, yapılan yazılımsal geliştirme ile farklı PBX santralleri arasında ça...

This paper suggests a CSMA/CD compatible MAC protocol for real time transmissions in a Home or Small O ce Local Area Network. The protocol allows high priority devices transmitting real time tra c such as digital video and audio to communicate with each other with guaranteed low delay and jitter, across an existing Ethernet, which is supporting standard Ethernet devices such as PCs, printers an...

Using time-scale decomposition, we develop approximations to evaluate the performance of an admission control strategy for integrated services in a single UMTS radio cell. Simulation results suggest that the performance is almost insensitive to traffic parameter distributions, and is well estimated by our proposed approximations.

asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technology came into being in order to discuss why wireless ATM makes any sense or not. ATM technology is the result of efforts to devise a transmission and networking technology to provide high-speed integrated services: a single infrastructure for data, voice, and video. It evolved from the wide area into the local area, and then into the access loop. The foll...

This note describes the use of the RSVP resource reservation protocol with the Controlled-Load and Guaranteed QoS control services. The RSVP protocol defines several data objects which carry resource reservation information but are opaque to RSVP itself. The usage and data format of those objects is given here. Status of this Memo This document is an Internet-Draft. Internet-Drafts are working ...

Prior research has consistently demonstrated that people are reluctant to trade a good they own for an alternative good, particularly when the alternative (or “target”) represents a substantial departure from the “endowment”. We demonstrate that the endowment effect can be reduced by first making participants consider trading their endowment for an intermediate alternative (which shares some ch...
