This document describes a methodology specific to the benchmarking of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) forwarding devices, limited to the most common MPLS packet forwarding scenarios and delay measurements for each, considering IP flows. It builds upon the tenets set forth in RFC 2544, RFC 1242, and other IETF Benchmarking Methodology Working Group (BMWG) efforts. This document seeks to ext...

Ge nanostructures were synthesized by reduction of GeO(2) in H(2) atmosphere at various temperatures. Entangled and straight Ge nanowires with oxide shells were grown at high temperatures. Ge nanowires with various numbers of nodules were obtained at low temperatures. Ge nanowires without nodules exhibited remarkable field emission properties with a turn-on field of 4.6 V µm(-1) and field enhan...

We demonstrate a CW random distributed feedback Raman fiber laser operating in a 1.2 μm spectral band. The laser generates up to 3.8 W of the quasi-CW radiation at 1175 nm with the narrow spectrum of 1 nm. Conversion efficiency reaches 60%. Up to 1 W is generated at the second Stokes wavelength of 1242 nm. It is shown that the generation spectrum of RDFB Raman fiber laser is much narrower than ...

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that have attracted great concern in the past few decades. PCBs were first synthesized in 1864 (WHO, 1993) and widely used in the United States between 1929 until their manufacture was banned in 1977 (Erickson, 1986; Nies and Vogel, 1990). Due to the widespread use of PCBs and improper disposal practices, a significant a...

The evaporation of the synthetic compounds CsAlSi04 and C s A l S i s O i 2 was studied by high temperature mass spectrometry. The measurements were carried out under equilibrium conditions with Knudsen cells in the temperature ranges 1242 to 1567 K (CsAlSiC>4) and 1542 to 1803 K (CsAlSi50i2). The obtained Cs partial pressures are given by the equations log p (Pa) = 18 497/T (K) + 11.85 (CsAlSi...
