Early P2P-TV systems have already attracted millions of users, and many new commercial solutions are entering this market. Little information is however available about how these systems work, due to their closed and proprietary design. In this paper, we present large scale experiments to compare three of the most successful P2P-TV systems, namely PPLive, SopCast and TVAnts. Our goal is to assess what level of "network awareness" has been embedded in the applications. We first define a general framework to quantify which network layer parameters leverage application choices, i.e., what parameters mainly drive the peer selection and data exchange. We then apply the methodology to a large dataset, collected during a number of experiments where we deployed about 40 peers in several European countries. From analysis of the dataset, we observe that TVAnts and PPLive exhibit a mild preference to exchange data among peers in the same autonomous system the peer belongs to, while this clustering effect is less intense in SopCast. However, no preference versus country, subnet or hop count is shown. Therefore, we believe that next-generation P2P live streaming applications definitively need to improve the level of network-awareness, so to better localize the traffic in the network and thus increase their network-friendliness as well. 相似文献

In this work we extend previous results on moment-based characterization and minimal representation of stationary Markovian arrival processes (MAPs) and rational arrival processes (RAPs) to transient Markovian arrival processes (TMAPs) and Markovian binary trees (MBTs). 相似文献

The introduction of new service categories withdifferent bandwidth requirements, e.g., data and multimedia, to cellularmobile radio networks makes many of the traditional mechanisms for controlingtraffic unusable orless efficient. The call admission and the handover handling are of the mostsensitive issues in this extension to new services. The performance of allservices includingthe traditional voice and the new services can be dramatically affected ifappropriate schemes are not used. In this paper, we propose call admission andhandover handling schemes for a cellular mobile network that offers twoservice types: voice and data. The data connections are assumed to transmitatdifferent transmission rates that are integer multiples to that of one radiochannel. In the case of congestion, the base station asks the active dataconnections to reduce their transmission rate in order to provide freechannels for the newly arrived request of both service types. This isbasically intended for incoming handover requests. The request will berejected if the transmission rate of the active connections reaches a givenminimum rate. Similar mechanism can also be used for new call arrivals, butsome priority can be given to handovers by setting a higher transmission ratethreshold for the new call rejection. As an extension to the proposedscalability, aqueuing of new calls is also proposed and analyzed. Analytical models werebuilt for the two proposed schemes together with the traditional channelreservation scheme. The effect of different traffic and configurationparameters on the performance measures like the grade of service, blockingprobabilities, and utilization, are studied using the proposed technique.Results show that the proposed schemes provide very good performance and morefairness among the different service types. 相似文献

The accuracy of image to patient registration is a critical issue in the intraoperative use of frameless stereotaxic instruments for surgical guidance. This study was performed to assess the accuracy of image to head phantom registration using several standard registration techniques and a clinical frameless stereotaxic instrument. Two types of radioopaque fiducial markers were fixed to a plastic head phantom, and a computed tomography scan of the phantom was performed in the routine fashion. Image to phantom registration was carried out using fiducial markers, fiducial markers plus surface fit, anatomic landmarks, and anatomic landmarks plus surface fit. After each registration, linear inaccuracy measurements were performed for each of 32 markers. Each registration was performed 10 times, and the overall mean error measurements and anterior and posterior error were computed and compared. The overall mean error was smallest for the fiducial registration alone (2.07 mm). The magnitude of error increased significantly for posterior locations for all other registration techniques, but it was not significantly increased for the fiducial registration method. For this hardware configuration, registration with surface-applied fiducial markers is measurably more accurate than registration with surface anatomic landmarks. The addition of surface points to the fiducial registration does not increase the registration accuracy but, in fact, increases the degree of error. 相似文献

As mobile networking is moving towards the direction of providing high-speed multimedia services, the presence of connections that do not generate traffic at constant rate is becoming reality in wireless environment. For preliminary network design purposes analytical models are necessary that examine the performance or wireless networks with such connections. In this paper an analytical method is presented to calculate call-level system parameters of cellular networks with multimedia connections. The method is based on an approximate recursive calculation. The accuracy of the approximation is verified by computer simulations. The derivation of the distributions of user describing time variables and two simple admission control policies are also presented and investigated. 相似文献

N‐methyl‐substituted diacylglycerol–indololactones (DAG–indololactones) are newly synthesized effectors of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms and exhibit substantial selectivity between RasGRP3 and PKCα. We present a comprehensive analysis of membrane interactions and biological activities of several DAG–indololactones. Translocation and binding activity assays underline significant variations between the PKC translocation characteristics affected by the ligands as compared to their binding activities. In parallel, the fluorescent properties of the ligands were employed for analysis of their membrane association profiles. Specifically, we found that a slight change in the linkage to the indole ring resulted in significant differences in membrane binding and association of the DAG–indololactones with lipid bilayers. Our analysis shows that seemingly small structural modifications of the hydrophobic regions of these biomimetic PKC effectors contribute to pronounced modulation of membrane interactions of the ligands. 相似文献

Buffer-soluble seed proteins of 12 varieties of winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus L.) were separated by ultrathin-layer isoelectric focusing (IEF) and sodium dodecylsulphate electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE). Whereas the molecular weight spectra of the proteins obtained by SDS-PAGE were identical for all varieties studied, the IEF patterns showed variety specificity for each sample. Most of the variety specific protein bands were identified as glycoproteins. The zymograms of the isoelectically focused trypsin inhibitors were variety specific in both activity and isoelectric point distribution. 相似文献

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) biopolymer films are fabricated with varying amounts of hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTMA), which is a surfactant necessary to produce a DNA complex that is soluble in organic solvents. The dielectric constant (κ) of these films at microwave frequencies as a function of applied static electric field (E DC) is investigated. Results show that the dependence of κ on E DC, which is referred to as the dielectric tunability, is influenced by the amount of CTMA in the complex. Dielectric tunability is suppressed when the amount of CTMA is insufficient and improved when more CTMA is added. However, excessive amounts of CTMA also result in a very rough film surface that causes shorting problems when used in a capacitive structure. A varactor employing a 1-μm-thick DNA biopolymer film as the dielectric is demonstrated. Under 5 V DC bias, which generates E DC = 5 V/μm, its capacitance at 15 GHz changes by 0.04 pF. This change corresponds to a relative dielectric tunability of 6.6%. A simple application of this varactor for modulation of the power transmitted through a microwave transmission line is also demonstrated. 相似文献

While link allocation policies in multi-rate circuit switched loss models have drawn much attention in recent years, it is still an open question how to share the link capacity between service classes in a fair manner. In particular, when an ATM link is offered calls from service classes with/without strict QoS guarantees one is interested in link capacity sharing policies that maximize throughput and keep the per-class blocking probabilities under some GoS constraints. In this paper we propose a model and associated computational technique for an ATM transmission link to which CBR/VBR and ABR classes offer calls. We also propose a simple link allocation rule which takes into account blocking probability constraints for the CBR/VBR calls and a throughput constraint for the ABR calls and attempts to minimize the blocking probability of ABR calls. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the policy and of the applied computational technique. 相似文献
