- N-1-3-075.01, Internet Digest, by Deborah Estrin*, <estrin@usc.edu>
-
-
- Internetworking: Research and Experience is a quarterly, refereed,
- journal published by Wiley (D. Comer, R. Droms, D. Estrin, and L.
- Svobodova are the Editors).
-
- In the first three issues of 1992 there are several papers of interest
- to the ISOC community.
-
- "An Empirical Workload Model for Driving Wide--Area TCP/IP Network
- Simulation", by P. B. Danzig, S. Jamin, R. Caceres, D. J. Mitzel, and
- D. Estrin (Volume 3, Number 1 (March 1992)), presents a workload model
- of internet traffic that can be used to drive simulation experiments.
- The model is based on analysis of wide-area TCP/IP traffic collected
- at several Internet sites.
-
- "An Implementation of the Revised Internet Stream Protocol (ST--2)",
- by C. Partridge, and S. Pink, (Volume 3, Number 1 (March 1992)),
- describes an experimental implementation of the ST-2 protocol in the
- BSD UNIX (TM) system. ST-2 was designed to support applications that
- require guaranteed network services by creating tree-shaped delivery
- paths with performance guarantees.
-
- "The EAN X.500 Directory Service" by G. Neufeld, B. Brachman, M.
- Goldberg, and D. Stickings, (Volume 3, Number 2 (June 1992)), describes
- experiences gained in implementing an OSI X.500 directory service. It
- points out a number of areas in the current OSI directory design that
- require further work and then describes how the EAN directory system
- has addressed these difficulties.
-
- "Myths about Congestion Management in High Speed Networks", by R.
- Jain, (Volume 3, Number 3 (September 1992)), is a position paper
- addressing addressing central issues in congestion control and
- avoidance for high-speed networks.
-
- "On Traffic Phase Effects in Packet--Switched Gateways", by S. Floyd,
- and V. Jacobsen, (Volume 3, Number 3 (September 1992)), describe how
- phase differences between competing traffic streams in a
- packet-switched network can be the dominant factor in relative
- throughput. They demonstrate how this discrimination can be
- eliminated with the addition of appropriate randomization to the
- network.
-
- We are planning two special issues for 1993. The first special issue
- on "Networking Support for Remote Conferencing" will focus on issues
- and experiences such as multicast protocols for remote conferencing,
- service requirements for remote conferencing data delivery and
- experiences with remote conferencing systems. The second special
- issue on "Dynamic Internetwork Architectures" will concentrate on
- issues such as addressing schemes for mobile hosts, routing in dynamic
- internet architectures and resource discovery and utilization by
- mobile hosts. For more information on submission, contact
- droms@cs.bucknell.edu.
