Design of an Efficient Interconnection Network of Temperature Sensors
Temperature has become a ďŹrst class design constraint because high temperatures adversely affect circuit reliability, static power and degrade the performance. In this scenario, thermal characterization of ICs and on-chip temperature monitoring represent fundamental tasks in electronic design. In this work, we analyze the features that an interconnection network of temperature sensors must fulďŹll. Departing from the network topology, we continue with the proposal of a very light-weight network architecture based on digitalization resource sharing. Our proposal supposes a 16% improvement in area and power consumption compared to traditional approache

âUnfairâ Discrimination in Two-sided Peering? Evidence from LINX
âUnfairâ Discrimination in Two-sided Peering? Evidence from LINX
Abstract: Does asymmetry between Internet Providers affect the âfairnessâ of their interconnection contracts?
While recent game theoretic literature provides contrasting answers to this question, there is a lack of empirical research.
We introduce a novel dataset on micro-interconnection policies and provide an econometric analysis of the determinants
of peering decisions amongst the Internet Service Providers interconnecting at the London Internet Exchange Point (LINX).
Our key result shows that two different metrics, introduced to capture asymmetry, exert opposite effects. Asymmetry in
âmarket sizeâ enhances the quality of the link, while asymmetry in ânetwork centralityâ induces quality degradation, hence
âunfairerâ interconnection conditions
Asymmetry and Discrimination in Internet Peering Evidence from the LINX
Is the quality of interconnection between Internet operators affected by their asymmetry? While recent game theoretic literature provides contrasting answers to this question, there is a lack of empirical research. We introduce a novel dataset based on Internet routing policies, and study the interconnection decisions amongst the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) members of the London Internet Exchange Point (LINX). Our results show that interconnection quality degradation can be significantly explained by asymmetry between providers. We also show that Competition Authorities should focus more on the role played by the ââŹĹcentrality of an operatorââŹ, rather than on its market share.Internet Peering, Two-sided Markets, Network Industries, Antitrust, Net Neutrality
