RSS problem topologyOn Count-to-Infinity Induced Forwarding Loops in Ethernet Networks
White Paper Unfortunately, its distributed forwarding topology computation protocol - the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) - can suffer from a classic "Count-to-infinity" problem that may lead to a forwarding... [11 Sep 2008]
Forming Optimal Topologies for Bluetooth-Based Wireless Personal Area Networks
White Paper This paper addresses the problem of determining an optimal topology for Bluetooth Wireless Personal Area Networks (BT-WPANs). In BT-WPANs, multiple communication channels are available, through a... [11 Aug 2008]
On Scalability of Proximity-Aware Peer-to-Peer Streaming
White Paper To meet these requirements, previous studies resorted to intuitions and heuristics to construct peer selection solutions incorporating topology and proximity concerns. This paper studies this problem via... [04 Aug 2008]
QoS Routing for Mesh-Based Wireless LANs
White Paper These networks extend the wireless LAN coverage by using each node in the network as a router, resulting in a multihop topology. Mesh based wireless LANs are an attractive solution to this problem.... [04 Aug 2008]
Non-Adaptive Fault Diagnosis for All-Optical Networks Via Combinatorial Group Testing on Graphs
White Paper The efficiency of these schemes often depends on the network topology; in many cases it shows that these schemes are near-optimal by providing tight lower bounds. This paper considers the fault diagnosis... [18 Jul 2008]
QoS Topology Control in Ad Hoc Wireless Networks
White Paper This paper discusses the energy efficient QoS topology control problem in ad hoc wireless networks. Given a set of nodes in a plane, end-to-end traffic demands and delay bounds between node pairs, the... [18 Jul 2008]
Reconfiguration of MPLS/WDM Networks Using Simulation-Based Markov Decision Processes
White Paper This paper presents a new approach to the problem of logical topology reconfiguration in congested WDM networks using simulation-based multi-time scale Markov Decision Processes (MDP). Previous work... [18 Jul 2008]
The Problem of Upstream Traffic Synchronization in Passive Optical Networks
White Paper PON may be deployed as a bus, ring, or tree topology. Recently Passive Optical networks gained a lot of attention as a possible solution to the broadband local access network. While it is a very cost-effective solution,... [18 Jul 2008]
Lightpath Topology Configuration for Wavelength-Routed IP/MPLS Networks for Time-Dependent Traffic
White Paper This paper considers the integrated design problem of configuration of lightpath topology and optimal routing of IP/MPLS tunnels on this lightpath topology for time-varying traffic. The... [11 Jul 2008]
VON: A Scalable Peer-to-Peer Network for Virtual Environments
White Paper The central issue for P2P-based NVE (P2P-NVE) systems is to correctly and efficiently maintain the topology of all participating peers by solving the neighbor discovery problem. The paper also proposes... [11 Jul 2008]
A Model for Resource-Aware Load Balancing on Heterogeneous Clusters
White Paper It proposes DRUM, a model that encapsulates hardware resources and their interconnection topology. This paper addresses the problem of partitioning and dynamic load balancing on clusters with... [10 Jul 2008]
Engineering Paths for Multicast Traffic
White Paper This enables the network operator to have control over the topology of multicast trees. This proposal partitions the multicast traffic engineering problem such that multicast routing protocols do not... [03 Jul 2008]
QoS-Based Virtual Private Network Design for an MPLS Network
White Paper Here, the VPN design is modeled as a mixed Integer Programming (InP) optimization problem to minimize the cost of laying out a VPN supporting different traffic types and service classes on a given... [30 Jun 2008]
The Impact of Network Topology on the Spread of Anti-Virus Countermeasures
White Paper This paper investigates this problem by simulating the impact of network topology on the effectiveness of anti-virus countermeasures. This problem can be though of having countermeasures... [24 Apr 2008]
Global Manufacturer Restores and Enhances Directory Service With Remediation Strategy
White Paper The primary issue was the site replication topology, which did not align with BAT's wide area network and meet replication requirements. To deal with the problem, ITC Infotech turned to Microsoft... [23 Apr 2008]
