We develop an end-to-end model for packet inter-arrival times of flows in the Internet. Our model illustrates that under asymptotic conditions of high network utilization, (1) packet inter-arrival times of flows become heavy-tailed after they traverse a large number of hops, and (2) the aggregate of such flows is a long-range dependent self-similar process. We validate our model through extensi...

The polyphenol-enriched fraction of an ethanolic hops extract (Humulus lupulus) was separated to provide four acylphloroglucinol-glucopyranosides (1-4). 1-(2-Methylpropanoyl)phloroglucinol-glucopyranoside 1 has been isolated from hops before, whereas 1-(2-methylbutyryl)phloroglucinol-glucopyranoside 2, known as multifidol glucoside, and 1-(3-methylbutyryl)phloroglucinol-glucopyranoside 3 were f...

In this paper a novel active queue management technique for ad hoc networks is proposed, where the dropping probability depends on the number of wireless hops traversed by the enqueued packets in the node. The advantages accruing of protecting flows with routes that span over a large number of wireless hops by the proposed Hop Based Queueing (HBQ) algorithm are mainly twofold. Firstly, it decre...
