A Framework For Aggregating Network Performance In Distributed Brokering Systems, Gurhan Gunduz, Shrideep Pallickara, Geoffrey C. Fox

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship

The Internet is presently being used to support increasingly complex interaction models as a result of more and more applications, services and frameworks becoming network-centric. Efficient utilization of network and networked resources is of paramount importance. Network performance gathering is a precursor to any scheme that seeks to provide adaptive routing capabilities for interactions. In this paper we present a network performance aggregation framework that is extensible and appropriate for distributed messaging systems that span multiple realms, disparate communication protocols and support different applications.
