Surveillance Detection in High Bandwidth Environments
White Paper This paper describes System Detection's surveillance detection techniques for enclave environments (ESD) and peering center environments (PSD) and evaluates each technique over data gathered from two different network environments. [11 Jul 2008]
On the Optimality and Interconnection of Valiant Load-Balancing Networks
White Paper It generalizes the VLB design to enable interconnection of multiple VLB networks, and study interconnection via bilateral peering agreements as well as transit agreements. The paper shows that using VLB as a transit scheme yields the lowest... [10 Jul 2008]
OPCA: Fault-Tolerant Routing and Load-Balancing
White Paper The number of stub Autonomous Systems (ASes) that participate in the inter-domain BGP peering sessions has grown. Most of these ASes are multi-homed to multiple upstream providers. The authors believe that this behavior exhibits a widespread intent... [10 Jul 2008]

Photo The elaborate gold telescope, pictured, houses an oval screen to give the illusion of peering into a intercontinental kaleidoscope. New Yorkers peering into their Telectroscope can enjoy this fine view of Tower Bridge, providing they can see past... [28 May 2008]
How to Make BGP Work Through the Firewalls
White Paper This white paper deals with how to handle iBGP or eBGP peering sessions between routers across either Checkpoint or Cisco firewalls. This configuration has caused headaches for IT personnel who are familiar with Routing and Switching but on the... [11 Apr 2008]
Internet Exchanges: Moving to 10 Gigabit Ethernet
White Paper Internet Exchanges (IX points, or IXs), sometimes also known as Network Access Points (NAPs) or Metropolitan Area Exchanges (MAEs), are facilities designed expressly to simplify interconnection (BGP peering and traffic exchange) among independent... [29 Jan 2008]
SAFE: Best Practices for Security Routing Protocols
White Paper This document discusses the various threats against routing protocols, including peering disruption and falsifying of routing information, followed by a description of the methods and techniques used to attack a routing system [12 Dec 2007]
Performance Modeling on the Interaction of ISPs
White Paper At the same time, a tier-2 ISP can also arrange to have "Private peering" links with other tier-2 ISPs. Therefore, each tier-2 ISP can optimize its utility by deciding on the proper traffic routing of transmitting traffic, either via the tier-1 ISP... [24 Oct 2007]
Video Internet: The Next Wave of Massive Disruption to the U.S. Peering Ecosystem
White Paper Peering Ecosystem as the Cable Companies, Large Scale Network Savvy Content Companies, and Tier 2 ISPs started peering openly. By peering with directly each other they effectively bypassed the Tier 1 ISPs resulting in improved performance, greater... [19 Oct 2007]
Internet Service Providers and Peering
White Paper Internet Service Provider (ISP) peering has emerged as one of the most important and effective ways for ISPs to improve the efficiency of operation. Peering is defined as "An interconnection business relationship whereby ISPs provide connectivity... [19 Oct 2007]
