Analysis of hydrologic, geomorphic, and suburbanization data from a small instrumented drainage basin near Iowa City, Iowa, indicates that channel networks are radically altered when suburban development overtakes a drainage basin. Changes in channel networks are such that the network becomes much more efficient in collecting water quickly, so that lag time and kurtosis of storm hydrographs are...

In an internet end system, many applications with various requirements on their data stream transmission run simultaneously. The management of these data streams in a sending end system, and particularly the flow and congestion control for the data streams (if they exist at all), is for each data stream separate and independent from all other data streams. An interesting alternative to such a s...

Some of the newest approaches in Internet congestion control management suggest collaboration between sets of streams that should share network resources and learn from each other about the state of the network. A set of such collaborating streams is called a macroflow. In classical congestion control approach, a stream learns information about the network state by itself. It makes use of the a...

This document describes a method to improve the bandwidth utilization of RTP streams over network paths that carry multiple Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) streams in parallel between two endpoints, as in voice trunking. The method combines standard protocols that provide compression, multiplexing, and tunneling over a network path for the purpose of reducing the bandwidth used when multiple...
