This paper compares two models predicting gender differences in information processing to determine if either of the models is more pertinent to goal-oriented Internet searches. The Selectivity Model (Meyers-Levy 1989) proposes that women make more comprehension effort than men whereas the Item-Specific/Relational Processing Model (Putrevu 2001) suggests that men and women differ primarily in t...

Class-based service architectures for quality-of-service (QoS) differentiation typically provide loss, throughput, and delay differentiation. However, proposals for class-based QoS differentiation generally do not account for the needs of TCP traffic, which are characterized by a coupling of packet losses and achievable throughput. Ignoring this coupling may result in poor service differentiati...
