Comparative Study Of Congestion Control Techniques In High Speed Networks

Congestion in network occurs due to exceed in aggregate demand as compared to the accessible capacity of the resources. Network congestion will increase as network speed increases and new effective congestion control methods are needed, especially to handle bursty traffic of todays very high speed networks. Since late 90s numerous schemes i.e. [1]...[10] etc. have been proposed. This paper concentrates on comparative study of the different congestion control schemes based on some key performance metrics. An effort has been made to judge the performance of Maximum Entropy (ME) based solution for a steady state GE/GE/1/N censored queues with partial buffer sharing scheme against these key performance metrics.

A Step towards Software Corrective Maintenance Using RCM model

From the preliminary stage of software engineering, selection of appropriate enforcement of standards remained a challenge for stakeholders during entire cycle of software development, but it can lead to reduce the efforts desired for software maintenance phase. Corrective maintenance is the reactive modification of a software product performed after delivery to correct discovered faults. Studies conducted by different researchers reveal that approximately 50 to 75 percent of the effort is spent on maintenance, out of which about 17 to 21 percent is exercised on corrective maintenance. In this paper, authors proposed a RCM (Reduce Corrective Maintenance) model which represents the implementation process of number of checklists to guide the stakeholders of all phases of software development. These check lists will be filled by corresponding stake holder of all phases before its start. More precise usage of the check list in relevant phase ensures successful enforcement of analysis, design, coding and testing standards for reducing errors in operation stage. Moreover authors represent the step by step integration of checklists in software development life cycle through RCM model.
