A New Radiation Resistant Epoxy Resin System for Liquid Impregnation Fabrication of Compostie Insulation

Not Available Today's Internet operates basically with one class of service, called best effort. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), in response to the demands of industry, has published two integrated services (Intserv) standards that define additional service classes in an effort to provide a framework for the vendors to implement quality of service (QoS) guarantees. These two classes--Guaranteed Service and Controlled Load--do not adequately support the end-to-end quality of service requirements that the Navy has for command-and-control and mission-critical applications under stringent battle conditions. Fundamentally, these two Intserv QoS classes do not take advantages of the statistical nature of communication traffic. We propose to develop a coherent set of statistical QoS criteria (delay, jitter and loss) that will work within the Intserv QoS framework and will enhance the Intserv traffic management capabilities. Our goal is to develop an end-to-end QoS Optimzation (IP QO) tool that will allow Navy network managers to set router and switch parameters to achieve maximum possible network bandwidth utilization, end-to-end, in a heterogeneous network environment. The proposed IP QO tool will work with HP OpenView and IBM's Trivoli, the Navy's Network Management System's of choice. Through these NMSs, it will allow network managers to control and configure the shipboard networks to guarantee end-to-end QoS services.
