Intelligent Agents: Design, Environments, and Knowledge Representation

ITEM 2: Understanding Intelligent Agents

What is an Agent?

An agent is anything that can perceive its environment and take actions based on those perceptions. The role of an agent defines the specific actions it should perform in response to a performance measure. A sequence of perceptions and actions over time evaluates the agent’s behavior.

Rational Agents

A rational agent aims to maximize its expected performance, given its past perceptions. The work environment, which includes the performance

Characterizing Network Traffic for Optimal Network Design

Characterizing Network Traffic

Characterizing Traffic Flow

Characterizing traffic flow is the process of identifying sources and destinations of network traffic and analyzing the direction and symmetry of data traveling between sources and destinations.

  • Flow can be bidirectional and symmetric. (Both ends of the flow send traffic at about the same rate.)
  • In other applications, the flow can be bidirectional and asymmetric.
  • Client stations send small queries and servers send large streams of data.
  • In a broadcast

Understanding Computer Networks: From ISPs to IP Routing

Class 1: Introduction to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Network Technologies

Autonomous Systems (AS) and Internet Exchange Points (IXPs)

Each ISP consists of one or more Autonomous Systems (AS). An AS is a group of routers under the control of a single ISP. Each AS is assigned a unique AS Number (ASN) by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). ISPs can connect their networks through Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), which are physical locations where networks can exchange traffic.
