ABW - Short-Timescale Passive Bandwidth Monitoring
White Paper This method only allows to check long-term averages of the total used bandwidth without information about short-term dynamics and without knowledge of what applications are consuming most bandwidth. This paper describes the architecture of a novel... [11 Jul 2008]
Deploying CWDM to Overcome Bandwidth Limitations of FTTH Access Networks
White Paper As networks grow in terms of geographic reach, subscriber counts and the scope and number of services offered, Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) has clearly become the preferred method for increasing the bandwidth of these optical access... [08 Jul 2008]
Real-Time Passive Source Localization: A Practical Linear-Correction Least-Squares Approach
White Paper The method, which can be easily implemented in a real-time system with moderate computational complexity, yields an efficient source location estimator without assuming a priori knowledge of noise distribution. [03 Jul 2008]
Ethernet Passive Optical Networks
White Paper Ethernet passive optical networks (EPON) are an emerging access network technology that provides a low-cost method of deploying optical access lines between a carrier’s central office (CO) and a customer site. [03 Jul 2008]
Passive System Fingerprinting using Network Client Applications
White Paper We describe a method to rapidly identify target operating systems and version, as well as vectors of attack, based on data sent by client applications. The accuracy of this method is also quite high in most cases. [03 Jul 2008]
Network Monitoring and Forensics
White Paper It uses a combination of existing tools and a new method of building dynamic dependency chains. Distributed system fault detection and analysis has, until recently, focused on building passive monitoring tools without any system level knowledge. [05 Mar 2008]
Dynamic Performance Limits of the Benko-Veres Passive TCP Packet Loss Estimation Algorithm
White Paper Finally it identifies and discusses the limited real-world scenarios where this method of passive, external estimation of packet loss rates can be applied. This paper evaluates and discusses the performance of a passive TCP packet loss estimation... [15 Jan 2008]
On the Interaction Between Internet Applications and TCP
White Paper For this purpose, the paper proposes a generic method that partitions the packets of a TCP trace in bulk data transfer and in application limited periods. This paper focuses on passive traffic measurement techniques that collect traces of TCP... [27 Dec 2007]
A Machine Learning Approach to TCP Throughput Prediction
White Paper This paper describes a new, lightweight method for TCP throughput prediction that can generate accurate forecasts for a broad range of file sizes and path conditions. The author's method is based on Support Vector Regression modeling that uses a... [20 Dec 2007]
New Methods for Passive Estimation of TCP Round-Trip Times
White Paper The first method associates data segments with the ACKnowledgments (ACKs) that trigger them by leveraging the TCP timestamp option. The second method infers TCP RTT by observing the repeating patterns of segment clusters where the pattern is caused... [06 Dec 2007]
Adaptive Sensing for Environment Monitoring Using Wireless Sensor Networks
White Paper This paper presents Adaptive Sensing, an energy-efficient topology configuration method for environment monitoring using densely deployed wireless sensor networks. Adaptive Sensing puts redundant nodes into passive mode as auxiliary nodes to be... [25 Aug 2007]
Quocirca's Straight Talking: A single source for net protection
Comment Most people receive far more email than they send, so it is more a passive than an active method of communication. Used to be businesses had to go to two sources to get solutions for email and web filtering. [06 Oct 2005]
Emerging tech gets the hype test treatment
News Gartner predicts that podcasting - a method of subscribing to audio broadcasts which are then delivered to your PC or digital media player - "will grow increasingly important as the market for content continues to fragment.which will lead to a... [25 Aug 2005]
D3Data Case Study: US Fish and Wildlife
White Paper Each collection method had advantages and disadvantages, which must be recognized. Methods included either active or passive collection methods. The US Fish and Wildlife Service employs approximately 7,500 people at facilities across the country... [18 Feb 2005]
Measuring and Analyzing Service Levels: a Scalable Passive Approach
White Paper We further propose a statistical data analysis method that analyzes passive throughput measurements, and quantifies user satisfaction/dissatisfaction and the confidence that the provider may have in the collected data, i.e.data reliability. [25 Feb 2004]
