RSS hostsA Framework for Network Media Optimization in Multihomed QoS Networks
White Paper In order to realize efficient mobile computing in such an environment, mobile hosts must have multiple network media as well as functions to select the optimum network among them based upon the current situation without the disconnecting... [18 Jul 2008]
Using Dynamic Optical Networking for High-Speed Access
White Paper The solution is developed in the context of existing constraints, such as the presence of ring based metropolitan area access and core networks, and Ethernet cards in end hosts. Through the use of switched optical circuits the number of hosts that... [18 Jul 2008]
DiffServ QoS Provisioning for Real Time Traffic in Frequent Handoff MobileIPv6 Networks
White Paper Testbed has been set up to support the architecture and evaluate the performance of real time traffic in frequent handoffs of mobile hosts. The next-generation mobile networks are evolving towards a versatile IP-based network that can provide... [18 Jul 2008]
Implicit Flow QoS Signaling Using Semantic-Rich Context Tags
White Paper The approach enables end-hosts and other devices to expose and provide context information to the network to support underlying QoS mechanisms, including adaptation. An important feature of future context-aware and adaptive networks would be the... [17 Jul 2008]
Routing Protocols in Ad Hoc Networks
White Paper A wireless ad hoc network's topology is dynamic because hosts eventually lose power, hosts' transmission on range may vary over time, hosts may become damaged, or hosts may enter or exit the network's transmission on range. [11 Jul 2008]
On Selfish Routing in Internet-Like Environments
White Paper A recent trend in routing research is to avoid inefficiencies in network-level routing by allowing hosts to either choose routes themselves (e.g.source routing) or use overlay routing networks (e.g. Detour or RON). [11 Jul 2008]
Scalability, Fidelity, and Containment in the Potemkin Virtual Honeyfarm
White Paper This paper describe an approach to minimize this tension and improve honeypot scalability by up to six orders of magnitude while still closely emulating the execution behavior of individual Internet hosts. [11 Jul 2008]
Overcoming NAT and Firewall Connectivity Restrictions in Overlay Multicast
White Paper A large number of overlay multicast protocols have been developed, almost all of which assume universal connectivity between end hosts. This paper argues that it is critical to consider connectivity restrictions because NAT and firewall hosts make... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing a Cluster of Web Servers
White Paper This paper presents and evaluates an implementation of a prototype scalable web server consisting of a load-balanced cluster of hosts that collectively accept and service TCP connections. Once a client attempts to establish a TCP connection with... [10 Jul 2008]
Active Systems Management: The Evolution of Firewalls
White Paper Following a successful exploitation of a host, the worm propagates by scanning for other vulnerable hosts to infect. Nine days later, approximately 250,000 hosts were reported as infected. For over twenty-five years, the security community has... [10 Jul 2008]
A Reconfigurable Ethernet/SONET Circuit-Based Metro Network Architecture
White Paper This paper proposes a service concept in which high-speed Ethernet interfaces from end hosts are dynamically cross-connected to equivalent-rate Ethernet-over-SONET (EoS) optical circuits for transport across metro-area networks and/or wide-area... [10 Jul 2008]
Tability of Load Balancing Algorithms in Dynamic Adversarial Systems
White Paper In a distributed network of computing hosts, the performance of the system can depend crucially on dividing up work effectively across the participating nodes. This type of load balancing problem has been studied in many different models, centered... [10 Jul 2008]
Combining Multiple Intrusion Detection and Response Technologies in an Active Networking Based Architecture
White Paper With the ever growing number of hosts connected to the Internet, representing potential sources of malicious attacks, and increasing sophistication of attacking techniques and automated attacking tools, network intrusion detection and response has... [10 Jul 2008]
An Efficient Adaptive Load Balancing Service for CORBA
White Paper One way to improve the scalability and dependability of CORBA-based applications is to balance system processing load among multiple server hosts. CORBA is increasingly popular as distributed object computing middleware for systems with stringent... [10 Jul 2008]
Automatic Backdoor Analysis With a Network Intrusion Detection System and an Integrated Service Checker
White Paper They are a gateway to launch exploits, gain super-user access to hosts in the internal network and to use the attacked network as a stepping stone to attack other networks. This paper examines how a network intrusion detection system can be used as... [10 Jul 2008]
