RSS ietfIP Over All-Optical Networks - Issues
White Paper There have been various proposals in IETF and other international standards organizations regarding the interaction of IP routers and Optical core networks. IP over Optical is being envisioned as one of the most attractive architectures for the new... [18 Jul 2008]
QoS, Security, and Mobility Management for Fixed and Wireless Networks Under Policy-Based Techniques
White Paper The framework presented here is derived from IETF works in Policy Framework working group and in Resource Allocation Protocol working group. This paper introduces a general policy-based management framework within an IP network. [18 Jul 2008]
Effectiveness of Shared Risk Link Group Auto-Discovery in Optical Networks
White Paper SRLGs are fundamental inputs to resource management in the Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) control plane, now being developed in the IETF. Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLGs), introduced in, provide inputs necessary to plan for... [18 Jul 2008]
Middleware and Management Support for Programmable QoS-Network Architectures
White Paper DiffServ architectures are envisaged by the standardization body of the IETF to be open to an evolutionary process and to facilitate adjustments to local conditions. This paper focuses on management and middleware support for incremental updating... [18 Jul 2008]
QoS Support in MPLS Networks
White Paper The IETF work in this area has been augmented by the MPLS/Frame Relay Alliance Implementation Agreement which extends MPLS to the user-network interface, and thus serves as a foundation for implementing QoS end-to-end. [18 Jul 2008]
An End-to-End QoS Framework for 4G Mobile Heterogeneous Environments
White Paper The framework integrates layer two and layer three handovers by exploiting minimal additions to existing IETF and IEEE standards. Next Generation Networks (NGN) will be based upon the "all IP" paradigm. [18 Jul 2008]
Ethernet - The Next Generation WAN Transport Technology
White Paper Ethernet has grown in market share, supported IEEE-based and IETF-based standards, and bandwidth, surpassing various network transport technologies while maintaining a feasible cost structure. As the IEEE ratifies 802.3ae - the standard for 10... [10 Jul 2008]
MPLS - A Foundation for Service Differentiation by the ISP World
White Paper The paper discusses in brief the forces that motivated the development and evolution of different multilayer switching solutions that eventually culminated in the IETF working group's definition of MPLS. [10 Jul 2008]
Network Convergence Over MPLS
White Paper This paper reviews current activities in the IETF, MPLS/Frame Relay Alliance, and ITU-T related to transport over MPLS, comparing their approaches, identifying overlaps, and open issues. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is emerging as a... [10 Jul 2008]
RSVP-TE Daemon for DiffServ Over MPLS Under Linux
White Paper The RSVP-TE daemon for DiffServ over MPLS under Linux project supports the important Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards for the set up of MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS, RFC3031) tunnels with DiffServ support (DS, RFC2475) under... [10 Jul 2008]
An NSIS-Based Approach for Firewall Traversal in Mobile IPv6 Networks
White Paper This paper describes the problems and impacts of having firewalls in Mobile IPv6 environments and presents a firewall traversal solution based on the IETF's Next Steps in Signaling framework to address these issues. [09 Jul 2008]
Implementation and Performance Study of a New NAT/Firewall Signaling Protocol
White Paper The NAT/Firewall NSIS Signaling Layer Protocol (NAT/Firewall NSLP) is a path-coupled signaling protocol for explicit Network Address Translator and firewall configuration within an extensible IP signaling framework currently being developed by the... [08 Jul 2008]
Neural-Based Quality of Service Estimation in MPLS Routers
White Paper As MPLS is standardized by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and is expected to be implemented in the near future, this paper addresses the issue of QoS estimation in a MLPS router fed with bursty traffic by means of a neural network. [05 Jul 2008]
Multi-Area MPLS/GMPLS Interoperability Trial Over 14-Vendor Packet/TDM/ROADM/OXC Network
White Paper Since the initiation of GMPLS standardization activity in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), many network operators and vendors have been expending significant effort toward furnishing GMPLS control architectures, and have performed a... [05 Jul 2008]
An Automated Traffic Engineering Algorithm for MPLS-Diffserv Domain
White Paper IETF has developed new protocols and techniques to meet the emerging traffic requirements and to manage and control the network and its services. Traffic Engineering seeks to optimize the handling of the traffic in a network such that the capacity... [02 Jul 2008]
