MPLS and the Evolving Internet Architecture
The introduction of MPLS as a part of the Internet forwarding architecture has immediate applicaitons in traffic engineering and virtual private networks. In the longer term, MPLS may affect how traffic transits the Internet and the services that the Internet delivers.

MPLS and Traffic Engineering in IP Networks
Rapid growth and increasing requirements for service quality, reliability, and efficiency have made traffic engineering an essential consideration in the design and operation of large public Internet backbone networks. The author discusses the applications of MPLS to traffic engineering in IP networks.
Daniel O. Awduche
Traffic Engineering Standards in IP Networks Using MPLS
The authors discuss the direction taken by the IETF and some of the recent standardization efforts for traffic engineering using MPLS. Their primary focus is on the signaling protocols developed for this purpose.

New High-Rate Wireless LAN Standards
This article describes the new wireless LAN standards developed by IEEE 802.11, ETSI BRAN, and MMAC. The new standards are targeting data rates up to 11 Mb/s in the 2.4 GHz band and up to 54 Mb/s in the 5 GHz band.

Analysis of Internet Services in IP over ATM Networks
The authors present a trace-driven analysis of IP over ATM services from an ATM-centric standpoint, and provide a characterization of TCP flows as VBR streams with burstiness (MBS) and throughput (SCR).

Internet Integrated Service over ATM: A Solution for Shortcut QoS Virtual Channels
The authors propose a solution to exploit ATM shortcut VCs supporting the QoS in the Internet integrated services model. A straightforward enrichment to the RSVP protocol is defined, which only impacts the devices (hosts and routers) involved in the shortcut procedure.

Error-Resilient Video Transmission over ATM Networks
The authors introduce a set of control mechanisms at different levels of the protocol architecture to support MPEG-2-based video communications sytems using ATM networks as their underlying transmission mechanism.

Desktop Videoconferencing Performance Based on an ATM Metropolitan Area Network
The DIVINE project makes it possible to evaluate a high-quality desktop videoconferencing system on an ATM network. After presentation of the methodologies and performance measurements tools used, the authors analyze the QoS of multimedia services implementd on the DIVINE system.

Realization of Large-Capacity ATM Switches
The author provides a system-level exploration of large-capacity ATM switches in terms of switch fabric scalability, cell buffer management, buffer design trade-off, call processing capabilities, and future trends in switch design.

Design Issues of Optical IP Routers for Internet Backbone Applications
The authors consider some design issues of high-throughput optical routers which combine the advantages of WDM with the new optical switching technology.

Internetworking Connectionless and Connection-Oriented Networks
Given the expectation that most endpoint-generated traffic will be in the form of connectionless IP datagrams, the authors address the problem of how to internetwork a CL (IP) network with a CO network.
