The NetSolve project, underway at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, allows users to access computational resources, such as hardware and software, distributed across the network. NetSolve provides a variety of interfaces so the user can easily perform scienti c computing tasks without having any computing resource installed on his/her computer. There are many resear...

A majority of server applications such as web server, database, E-mail, storage, etc. process a lot of network data, making them very network I/O intensive. TCP/IP is the most commonly used network protocol by these applications. TCP/IP runs over Ethernet, which is the de-facto Local Area Network (LAN) protocol. Rapid growth of Internet-enabled applications has resulted in development of faster...

Status of this Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This document defines requirements for protocols used by Network Access Servers (NAS). 1. Requirements language In this document, the key words "MAY", "MUST, "MUST NOT", "optional", "recommended", "SHOULD", and "SHO...

The bandwidth of network traffic has also increased significantly along with the growth of the Internet bandwidth. Network-intensive application systems, such as web server and realtime streaming server, etc, must be capable of filtering malicious packets in a high traffic environment. However, firewall functions and network applications share common CPU resources for server equipping software-...

Automated performance control is seen to be necessary when application server is overloaded due to over utilization of critical resources. Using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to provide controlled network device’s feedback, centralized server control model is applied in this paper. The method to choose the minimum sampling period in a network control system is then presented and thr...

A large number of servers (e.g., CDN servers, datacenter servers) are placed in multiple geographical locations within different network domains. In order to minimize user perceived latency while ensuring high data availability, the server selection problem raises great challenges in modern Internet architecture. This paper presents SIFS, a novel server selection scheme for modern network parad...

Analytic queueing network models are being used to analyze various optimization problems such as server allocation, design and capacity issues, optimal routing, and workload allocation. The mathematical properties of the relevant performance measures, such as throughput, are important for optimization purposes and for insight into system performance. We show that for closed queueing networks of...

Advances in consumer technology are leading to demand for network server applications that are being run by less technically inclined users, making ease of deployment critical. The Starkit framework makes Tcl deployment in general much easier, but can be enhanced for servers. Using the CourseForum and ProjectForum applications as examples, issues such as reducing dependencies, installation and ...
