We measure the reliable transport of event features from source nodes to the sink in terms of the number of received data packets. Regardless of any application-specific metric that may actually be used, the number of received data packets is closely related to the amount of information acquired by the sink for the detection and extraction of event features. Hence, this serves as a simple but adequate event reliability measure at the transport level.

PROTECTING THE NETWORK We have discussed the statistical multiplexing of traffic through ATM buffers and connection admission control mechanisms to limit the number of simultaneous connections, but how do we know that a traffic source is going to conform to the parameter values used in the admission control decision? There is nothing to stop a source sending cells over the access link at a far higher rate. It is the job of usage parameter control to ensure that any cells over and above the agreed values do not get any further into the network....

The beauty of the business school interview is that applicants are the foremost experts themselves—they know why they have made the decisions that have led them to applying to an MBA program, what their unique strengths are and where they want to go next in their careers. The challenge, however, is figuring out how to best communicate this information to the interviewer and eloquently tell stories from the past that best illustrate the applicant’s abilities de- spite time constraints.
