Content delivery networks and their roles in eLearning

Turker, MA
Content Delivery Networks (CDN) utilize the large caching capacities at the edges of the network to case down the media serving requirements of Internet sites and to enable faster delivery of content to the end users. CDN technology can scale from small enterprise networks to large global networks. In the case of eLearning content, a heterogeneous network with a mixture of options can be used. CDN caches are updated frequent enough to mirror the right content of the site, yet the updates are at times which would not load the network during heavy demand. Edge Side Includes (ESI) enables personalization features and simultaneous use of distributed databases. Having established a wide-area load balancing, to establish the same at the local area, peer-to-peer file sharing techniques can be applied.

Exploiting Navigational Queries for Result Presentation and Caching in Web Search Engines
Ozcan, Rifat; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Ulusoy, Ozgur (Wiley, 2011-04-01)
Caching of query results is an important mechanism for efficiency and scalability of web search engines. Query results are cached and presented in terms of pages, which typically include 10 results each. In navigational queries, users seek a particular website, which would be typically listed at the top ranks (maybe, first or second) by the search engine, if found. For this type of query, caching and presenting results in the 10-per-page manner may waste cache space and network bandwidth. In this article, w...
WAKE-UP RECEIVERS FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS: BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES
Demirkol, Ilker; Ersoy, Cem; Onur, Ertan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-08-01)
For successful data delivery, the destination nodes should be listening to the medium to receive data when the sender node starts data communication. To achieve this synchronization, there are different rendezvous schemes, among which the most energy-efficient is utilizing wake-up receivers. Current hardware technologies of wake-up receivers enable us to evaluate them as a promising solution for wireless sensor networks. In this article the benefits achieved with wake-up receivers are investigated along wit...
Software implementations of QoS scheduling algorithms for high speed networks /
Pehlivanlı, Aydın; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
The end to end Quality of Service (QoS) support for the dominating multimedia traffic in the contemporary computer networks is achieved by implementing schedulers in the routers and deploying traffic shapers. To this end, realistic modeling and simulation of these components is essential for network performance evaluation. The first contribution of this thesis is the design and implementation of a C++ simulator QueST (Quality of Service simulaTor) for this task. QueST is a modular cycle accurate simulator w...
Parallel and pipelined architectures for high speed ip packet forwarding
Erdem, Oğuzhan; Bazlamaçcı, Cüneyt Fehmi; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
A substantial increase in the number of internet users and the traffic volume bring new challenges for network router design. The current routers need to support higher link data rates and large number of line cards to accommodate the growth of the internet traffic, which necessitate an increase in physical space, power and memory use. Packet forwarding, which is one of the major tasks of a router, has been a performance bottleneck in internet infrastructure. In general, most of the packet forwarding algori...
Frame-counter scheduler: A novel QoS scheduler for real-time traffic
Schmidt, Şenan Ece (Elsevier BV, 2006-08-04)
Real-time traffic communication has Quality of Service (QoS) requirements such as end-to-end bandwidth and delay guarantees.
