Workloads of network file server disk IO subsystems have very different characteristics than observed in time sharing or local IO systems described in the literature. In this study we provide a detailed analysis of disk workload traces collected from network file servers. Our results characterize file server disk traffic and give insights into file server disk access patterns. Measurements and ...

This paper presents an adaptive algorithm for improving the utilization of application server for open access to network functions. This type of application server deals with differently prioritized message flows from both 3 party applications and the network. The application server model applies admission control and distributed processing and the control strategy takes into account the differ...
