	abstract = {We present the design for a remote QOS/Control interface to the transport protocol using the read/write calls from the traditional file system API, with simple extensions resulting in a very flexible interface. We limit the interface to the kernel to be read/write, and introduce two cells, atleast~one of which needs to be a system service (dsplice system call or implemented otherwise). These calls use file descriptor as input and output parameters, and because of that have a much more flexible interface than the traditional ioctl/fcntl~interface. The resulting API can be used to construct efficient communication schemes and result in simpler and efficient ways for distributed interaction. Parts of this API have been implemented in our ongoing experiments. The adjoining figures outline the potential for flexibility.},

	abstract = {Today{\textquoteright}s telecommunications networks are becoming increasingly large, complex, mission critical and heterogeneous in several dimensions. For example, the underlying physical transmission facilities of a given network may be "mixed media" (copper, fiber-optic, radio, and satellite); the Sub networks may be acquired from different vendors due to economic, performance, or general availability reasons; the information being transmitted over the network may be "multimedia" (video, data, voice, and images) and, finally, varying performance criteria may be imposed e.g. data transfer may require high throughput while the others, whose concern is voice communications, may require low call blocking probability. For these reasons, future telecommunications networks are expected to be highly complex in their services and operations. Due to this growing complexity and the disparity among management systems for individual sub networks, efficient network management systems have become critical to the current and future success of telecommunications companies. This paper addresses a research and development effort which focuses on prototyping configuration management, since that is the central process of network management and all other network management functions must be built upon it. Our prototype incorporates ergonomically designed graphical user interfaces tailored to the network configuration management subsystem and to the proposed advanced object-oriented database structure. The resulting design concept follows open standards such as Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) and incorporates object oriented programming methodology to associate data with functions, permit customization, and provide an open architecture environment.},
