Traffic policing and bandwidth management strategies at the User Network Interface (UNI) of an ATM network are investigated by simulation. The network is assumed to transport real time (RT) traffic like voice and video as well as non-real time (non-RT) data traffic. The proposed policing function, called the super leaky bucket (S-LB), is based on the leaky bucket (LB), but handles the three types of traffic differently according to their quality of service (QoS) requirements. Separate queues are maintained for RT and non-RT traffic. They are normally served alternately, but if the number of RT cells exceeds a threshold, it gets non-pre-emptive priority. Further increase of the RT queue causes low priority cells to be discarded. Non-RT cells are buffered and the sources are throttled back during periods of congestion. The simulations clearly demonstrate the advantages of the proposed strategy in providing improved levels of service (delay, jitter and loss) for all types of traffic.

With the aim of improving the performance and extending the range of applications of mesoporous WO₃films, which were initially developed for the photoelectrochemical oxidation of water, we investigated the effect of a number of dopants (lithium, silicon, ruthenium, molybdenum and tin) upon the transparency, crystallinity, porosity and conductivity of the modified films. Tin, molybdenum and silicon were shown to improve the electrochromic behaviour of the layers whereas ruthenium enhanced considerably the electronic conductivity of the WO₃films. Interestingly, most of the dopants also affected the film morphology and the size of WO₃nanocrystals. X-ray photoelectron spectra revealed absence of significant segregation of doping elements within the film. Raman analyses confirmed that the monoclinic structure of WO₃films does not change upon substitutional cation doping; thus, the crystallinity of WO₃films is maintained.
