Advances for Networks & Internet Symposium Chair and Vice-Chairs • John W. Lockwood, Washington University in St. Louis, USA, lockwood@arl.wustl.edu • George Kesidis, Penn State University, USA, kesidis@engr.psu.edu • Changcheng Huang, Carleton University, Canada Scope This IEEE GLOBECOM 2005 symposium highlights recent advances for network and Internet technology that enable global deployment of network services. Topics covered in this symposium include network design, Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS), and traffic engineering. Networks are described that efficiently distribute content using multicast, overlays, and peer-to-peer networks. Technologies for wireless Local Area Networks (LANs), mobile networks, and sensor networks are presented. New devices are described that provide faster, cheaper, and more efficient ways to classify, switch, route, and process packets. Techniques are described that provide Quality of Service (QoS) by allocating bandwidth, controlling admission of traffic flows, and scheduling packets to ensure real-time delivery of data. Challenges and solutions are presented for processing of real-time traffic that includes streaming audio, streaming video, and IP Telephony. |
