Accurate and highly-granular channel capacity telemetry of the cellular last hop is crucial for effective operation transport layer protocols cutting edge applications, such as video on demand telephony. This paper presents design, implementation, experimental performance evaluation NG-Scope, first tool able to fuse physical-layer occupancy readings from control with higher-layer packet arrival...

The RBV posits as a necessary condition for diversification that a firm’s resources can be leveraged beyond its original business. To achieve sufficiency we need to know whether the resource is best leveraged inside the firm or through a market contract. We therefore couple the RBV with the Adjustment-cost Theory of the firm to make and test a set of predictions about when firms should extend t...

This paper develops a statistically unbiased and simple method for measuring the difference of independent empirical distributions estimated by bootstrapping or other simulation approaches. This complete combinatorial method is compared with other unbiased and biased methods that have been suggested in the literature, first in Monte Carlo simulations and then in a field test of external and int...

The Benchmarking Methodology Working Group (BMWG) has been developing key performance metrics and laboratory test methods since 1990, and continues this work at present. The methods described in RFC 2544 are intended to generate traffic that overloads network device resources in order to assess their capacity. Overload of shared resources would likely be harmful to user traffic performance on a...
