In order to deliver multicast traffic efficiently, multicast routing and reliable transmission mechanisms are required. The reliable delivery implies that lost packets must be retransmitted, which in turn requires that transmitted packets be stored in a retransmission buffer. Therefore how to manage a retransmission buffer is important and, in this paper, we try to solve the problem of how many packets should be maintained in the buffer. Our proposed scheme, the timer-based buffer management (TBM), maintains only necessary amount of buffer based on the timer value calculated from the NAKs between the replier and receivers on a multicast tree and can adjust to the dynamic network conditions. By performing simulations, we show that TBM manages the buffer efficiently regardless of the error situation, network size, and so on.

Video server which stores video streams should serve more users with the requested streams rapidly, satisfying their time constraints. For this objective, the storage system of the video server needs large disk bandwidth and buffer capacity. But, because given disk bandwidth and buffer capacity are limited, technologies that utilize effectively the given disk bandwidth and buffer capacity without waste might be needed. In this paper, we propose the policies that not only reduce the startup latency but also, support more users by utilizing the disk bandwidth and buffer efficiently, which also considering time constraint characteristics of video stream. In order to reduce the startup latency of the service requests, it inducts the effect of random access of disk head by moving asynchronously disk heads in multiple disk environments. Also, there are two technologies to support more users. First, the proposed policy reduces the seek latency by moving the disk head sequentially so that it saves the disk bandwidth. Second, it determines the segment size through considering both given buffer capacity and given disk bandwidth by heuristic approach in order to overcome the constraints of the number of streams supported due to limitation of buffer capacity. The segment size makes it utilize given buffer optimally with given disk bandwidth. The correctness of the proposed policies is not only analyzed theoretically but also evaluated through simulations.

The purpose of this research was to find out what is the dominant factor determining the $H_{ex}$ and the $H_C$ of Mn-Ir/Ni-Fe multilayers with different buffer layers. Regardless of (111) texture of Mn-Ir layer, all samples showed over the $H_{ex}$ of 155 Oe. We found out the $H_{ex}$ and the $H_C$ of Mn-Ir/Ni-Fe multilayers depend on interface morphology and grain size of Mn-Ir layer at the interface between Mn-Ir and Ni-Fe layers. The dependence of magnetroesistance ratio and coupling field on the thickness of ferromagnetic layer, thickness of Cu layer and different buffer layers have been studied. Maximum magnetoresistance ratio appeared for the sample Ta(5 nm)/Mn-Ir(10 nm)/Ni-Fe(7.5 nm)/Cu(2 nm)/Ni-Fe(6 nm)/Ta(5 nm)/Si. Magnetoresistance ratio may be related to grain of ferromagnetic layer. Coupling field may be related to the roughness and the grain size of ferromagnetic layer in the spin-valve multilayers.

This work presents an analysis of the buffer features of an access router, especially the size, the impact on delay and the packet loss rate. In particular, we study how these features can affect the Quality of Service (QoS) of multimedia applications when generating traffic bursts in local networks. First, we show how in a typical SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) network in which several multimedia flows (VoIP, videoconferencing and video surveillance) share access, the upgrade of the bandwidth of the internal network may cause the appearance of a significant amount of packet loss caused by buffer overflow. Secondly, the study shows that the bursty nature of the traffic in some applications traffic (video surveillance) may impair their QoS and that of other services (VoIP and videoconferencing), especially when a certain number of bursts overlap. Various tests have been developed with the aim of characterizing the problems that may appear when network capacity is increased in these scenarios. In some cases, especially when applications generating bursty traffic are present, increasing the network speed may lead to a deterioration in the quality. It has been found that the cause of this quality degradation is buffer overflow, which depends on the bandwidth relationship between the access and the internal networks. Besides, it has been necessary to describe the packet loss distribution by means of a histogram since, although most of the communications present good QoS results, a few of them have worse outcomes. Finally, in order to complete the study we present the MOS results for VoIP calculated from the delay and packet loss rate.

Delay and jitter are critical factors in the real-time video services over ATM network. Mostly, delay and jitter problem are generated in input buffer when video are multiplexed. In this paper, we analyze delay and jitter of input buffer, and consider efficient control and flexible bandwidth allocation of video traffic. Also, we analyze decision of buffer size related maximum allowable delay.

We consider a finite-buffer discrete-time queueing system with fixed-size bulk-service discipline: Geo/ $G^{B}$1/K＋B. The main purpose of this paper is to present a performance analysis of this system that has a wide range of applications in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and other related telecommunication systems. For this purpose, we first derive the departure-epoch probabilities based on the embedded Markov chain method. Next, based on simple rate in and rate out argument, we present stable relationships for the steady-state probabilities of the queue length at different epochs: departure, random, and arrival. Finally, based on these relationships, we present various useful performance measures of interest such as the moments of number of packets in the system at three different epochs and the loss probability. The numerical results are presented for a deterministic service-time distribution - a case that has gained importance in recent years.s.

The Asynchronous Transfer Mode(ATM) networks are being adopted as backbones over various parts of Internet. TCP is one of the most widespread transport protocols and can be used with ATM. But, TCP shows poor end-to-end performance on ATM networks. Effective throughput of TCP over ATM can be quite low when cells are dropped at the congested ATM switch. As congested link transmits cells from corrupted packets, it wastes bandwidth and throughput becomes low. This paper examines the behavior of TCP over ATM-UBR using EPD switch in a broadband environment. As threshold value closes to the buffer size, the buffer can be used more efficiently, but more drops and retransmission occur. If the threshold value is much less than buffer size, efficiency becomes low, but few drops can be happen. Therefore, the decision of threshold value becomes important factor.

The domestic semiconductor industry can produce various products that will satisfy customer needs by diversifying assembly parts and increasing compatibility between them. It is necessary to improve the production line as a method to reduce the work-in-process inventory (WIP) in the assembly line, the idle time of the worker, and the idle time of the process. The improvement of the production line is to balance the capabilities of each process as a whole, and to determine the timing of product input or the order of the work process so that the time required between each process is balanced. The purpose of this study is to find the optimal WIP and buffer size through SA (Simulated Annealing) that minimizes lead time while matching the number of two parts in a parallel assembly line with bottleneck process. The WIP level and buffer size obtained by the SA algorithm were applied to the CONWIP and DBR systems, which are the existing production systems, and the simulation was performed by applying them to the new hybrid production system. Here, the Hybrid method is a combination of CONWIP and DBR methods, and it is a production system created by setting new rules. As a result of the Simulation, the result values were derived based on three criteria: lead time, production volume, and work-in-process inventory. Finally, the effect of the hybrid production method was verified through comparative analysis of the result values.

This research is to design a high performance NAND-type flash memory package with a smart buffer cache that enhances the exploitation of spatial and temporal locality. The proposed buffer structure in a NAND flash memory package, called as a smart buffer cache, consists of three parts, i.e., a fully-associative victim buffer with a small block size, a fully-associative spatial buffer with a large block size, and a dynamic fetching unit. This new NAND-type flash memory package can achieve dramatically high performance and low power consumption comparing with any conventional NAND-type flash memory. Our results show that the NAND flash memory package with a smart buffer cache can reduce the miss ratio by around 70% and the average memory access time by around 67%, over the conventional NAND flash memory configuration. Also, the average miss ratio and average memory access time of the package module with smart buffer for a given buffer space (e.g., 3KB) can achieve better performance than package modules with a conventional direct-mapped buffer with eight times(e.g., 32KB) as much space and a fully-associative configuration with twice as much space(e.g., 8KB)
