Trickles: A Stateless Network Stack for Improved Scalability, Resilience, and Flexibility
White Paper Measurements on a full implementation in Linux indicate that Trickles achieves performance comparable to TCP/IP, interacts well with other flows, and scales well. Traditional operating system interfaces and network protocol implementations force... [11 Jul 2008]
Linux VPN Technical Analysis and HOWTO
White Paper Specifically, it provides a breakdown of VPN components and a description of what is available to Linux Administrators in terms of manageability and functionality. This paper intends to give an analysis of VPN within the Linux Operating System. [10 Jul 2008]
Firewalls in Linux: Principles and Implementation
White Paper This paper is meant to provide techniques in building and installing a standalone packet filtering firewall in Linux machines, mainly for small sites who don't give much service to Internet users. It guides how to design, implement, debug, and... [10 Jul 2008]
An Intrusion Detection System Based in the Gathering of Linux Syslog Logs From Linux, Windows NT and Snort
White Paper There is the perimeter defences and gateways like firewalls and routers, the network security with Network Intrusion Detection Systems and host security with personal firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems, System policies, Local accounts, etc. [10 Jul 2008]
Load-Balancing for a Real-Time System Based on Asymmetric Multi-Processing
White Paper ARTiS is a project that aims at enhancing the Linux kernel with better real-time properties. Unfortunately, the original load-balancing mechanism of Linux is not aware of this enhanced design. It allows retaining the flexibility and ease of... [10 Jul 2008]
RSVP-TE Daemon for DiffServ Over MPLS Under Linux
White Paper While the project might be very specialized for the typical Linux user, it is used by ISPs, network operators and research institutes all over the world. The project reuses the code of a few existing projects (some of them abandoned) and created a... [10 Jul 2008]
