Security of the WEP Algorithm
White Paper The 802.11 standard describes the communication that occurs in wireless local area networks (LANs). The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm is used to protect wireless communication from eavesdropping. [02 Sep 2008]
Metropolitan Ethernet Network: A Move From LAN to MAN
White Paper Ethernet has been the indisputable technology of choice for the Local Area Networks (LANs) for more than 30 years. Despite these improvements, Ethernet is still restricted to local area networks, and is not ready to become a carrier grade... [18 Jul 2008]
A Modular Gigabit Ethernet Backbone for NEPTUNE and Other Ocean Observatories
White Paper Ethernet is the most popular technology used for Local Area Networks (LANs). Recently, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) technology has successfully competed with SONET and other legacy alternatives such as ATM and Frame Relay for Metropolitan Area Network... [18 Jul 2008]
Throughput Optimization and Fair Bandwidth Allocation in Multi-Hop Wireless LANs
White Paper A number of researchers have studied this problem in the context of (single-hop) Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), where clients directly exchange traffic with Access Points (APs). There is an inherent well-known conflict between fairness and... [11 Jul 2008]
Technology Overview: Bandwidth Versus Throughput
White Paper In very specific and unusual situations, protocols that were designed specifically for Local Area Networks (LANs) rather than for Internet usage can cause performance degradation when used in a wireless system. [10 Jul 2008]
Wireless LAN - Security Issues
White Paper Wireless Local Area Networks, also known as Wireless LANs, are increasingly popular among modern users of data communication. However, the security aspects of these network installations are often overlooked, neglected, or quite simply not taken... [09 Jul 2008]
Technology Brief: Carrier Vs. Enterprise Ethernet Silicon
White Paper Ethernet has been the dominant networking protocol in Local Area Networks (LANs) due to its high bandwidth, ease of use, and low cost. Until recently, its success in LANs has not translated to communications networks due to limitations in Ethernet... [08 Jul 2008]
Beyond Carrier Ethernet: Making Ethernet Performance-Grade
White Paper Within 99 percent of Local Area Networks (LANs), Ethernet is used to carry those IP packets. Off late, virtually all new end-user and most new machine-to-machine applications are designed around the Internet Protocol (IP). [04 Jul 2008]
Redundancy in Serial-to-Ethernet Communications
White Paper This technology represented a paradigm shift - information which was previously tethered to a 50-foot RS-232 serial cable could now be made available across TCP/IP Local Area Networks (LANs,) Wide Area Networks (WANs) and even the Internet. [04 Jul 2008]
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation and Channel Coding in Providing QoS for Wireless Local Area Networks
White Paper This paper considers the problem of transmitting real-time traffic over Local Area Networks (LANs). While the technologies are general and applicable to all LANs, people are mainly interested in wireless LANs. [03 Jul 2008]
Influence of False Congestion Alarms on Performance for Congestion Control Based on Dynamic Window Flow Mechanism in Wireless Networks
White Paper The strong drive toward ubiquitous networks through end system mobility has made it necessary to include wireless networks, such as wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) and satellite networks. Networks with wireless links suffer from significant... [03 Jul 2008]
Enhanced Backoff Scheme in CSMA/CA for IEEE 802.11
White Paper An enhanced CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) protocol to be used in the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer of the IEEE 802.11 standard for Wireless Local Area Networks (wireless LANs) is proposed in this paper. [03 Jul 2008]
iSCSI Security Configuration
White Paper Because of the ubiquity of IP networks, iSCSI can be used to transmit data over local area networks (LANs) or wide area networks (WANs) and can enable location-independent data storage and retrieval. By carrying SCSI commands over standard IP... [03 Jul 2008]
Malaysia's Ministry of Education Improves Teacher Productivity and Enhances Learning With Intel Centrino Mobile Technology
White Paper Together with wireless local area networks (LANs) being established in the schools, both students and teachers have easy access to the Internet from their classrooms. The Malaysian Ministry of Education (MoE) in advocating its Computer Literacy... [03 Jul 2008]
Demystifying Ethernet Over SONET (EOS)
White Paper Recent advances in data transport technologies and the increasing demand for Ethernet and IP in data services to the enterprise have extended Ethernet technologies from Local Area Networks (LANs) to Wide Area Networks (WANs). [03 Jul 2008]
