An Expert System for Analyzing Firewall Rules
White Paper When deploying firewalls in an organization, it is essential to verify that the firewalls are configured properly. The problem of finding out what a given firewall configuration does occurs, for instance, when a new network administrator takes over... [10 Jul 2008]
Priorities in the Deployment of Network Intrusion Detection Systems
White Paper The purpose of this paper is to study the priorities in the deployment of network intrusion detection systems in order to minimize costs and to optimize performance. Network intrusion detection systems are hard to deploy efficiently due to... [10 Jul 2008]
Near-Optimal Load Balancing in Dense Wireless Multi-Hop Networks
White Paper This paper considers the load balancing problem in wireless multi-hop networks. In the limit of a dense network, there is a strong separation between the macroscopic and microscopic scales, and the load balancing problem can be formulated as... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing by MPLS in Differentiated Services Networks
White Paper Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) as a new technique assigns a short label to each packet at the ingress node of MPLS network and packets are forwarded according to these labels. The capability of MPLS of explicit routing as well as of... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing in Cellular Networks Using First Policy Iteration
White Paper This paper discusses load balancing in cellular networks. It compares the performance of both static and dynamic allocation policies for a simple model of two base stations with overlapping cells. In particular, it investigates the performance of... [10 Jul 2008]
Adaptive Load Balancing With OSPF
White Paper The objective of load balancing is to move traffic from congested links to other parts of the network. If the traffic demands are known, the load balancing can be formulated as an optimization problem. [10 Jul 2008]
Providing Differentiated Services by Load Balancing and Scheduling in MPLS Networks
White Paper The capability of MPLS of explicit routing as well as of splitting of the traffic on several paths allows load balancing. Using known load balancing algorithms as a starting point, the main goal of this paper is to formulate optimization problems... [10 Jul 2008]
Using Artificial Intelligence in Intrusion Detection Systems
White Paper Artificial Intelligence could make the use of Intrusion Detection Systems a lot easier than it is today. They could learn the preferences of the security officers and show the kind of alerts first that the officer has previously been most interested. [05 Jul 2008]
Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)
White Paper Currently all communication services are migrating to IP based networks, which generates new requirements for the technology. As mission-critical data is carried over multipurpose networks, the performance and availability of the communication... [05 Jul 2008]
Wireless Java-Enabled MIDP Devices as Peers in a Grid Infrastructure
White Paper Combining Mobile Internet and Grid technologies could mean the ability to command the power of supercomputers with a mobile device. The computing and data transfer capacities of mobile devices are expanding and Grid-related technologies are already... [03 Jul 2008]
Vulnerabilities of Intrusion Detection Systems in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks - The Routing Problem
White Paper Intrusion detection systems is one of the most active fields of research in Mobile Ad-hoc Network's (MANET) field. This systems are usually focused on detecting problems with the routing systems to prevent DoS and Man-in-the-middle and, despite of... [02 Jul 2008]
VPN and Firewall Traversal
White Paper IPSec architecture is based on the concept of keeping data secure while it is being transported across a network. Therefore there are problems when packet headers changes while in transmit across the network, by virtue of NAT devices such as... [30 Jun 2008]
Personal Firewall Usability - A Survey
White Paper This paper focuses on the usability challenges presented by personal firewalls. Nowadays, the focus of IT security is changing from patching system to securing remote access citeTM07, so many personal computer owners install a personal firewall to... [31 May 2008]
NAT/Firewall Traversal: Issues and Solutions
White Paper Network Address Translators (NATs) and Firewalls are increasingly used in all type of networks because of various reasons. However, NATs and firewalls are limiting some kind of communications and they are known to cause problems for applications... [31 May 2008]
Using Nagios to Monitor Faults in a Self-Healing Environment
White Paper The concepts of detecting and monitoring faults in a self-healing environment are examined. The Nagios faultdetection system is evaluated and its self-healing capabilities researched. This paper outlines possibilities of interconnecting Nagios with... [16 Apr 2008]
