With new optical transport systems able to provide sub-wavelength granularity, the dynamic characteristics of the network are expected to strongly increase. Furthermore, such properties are highly related to the underlying physical network topology, which in turn require from the control plane important features such as scalability, dynamism and automatism. In this paper we analyze the properties...
Wireless Body Sensor Networks (WBSNs) have recently gained a lot of research interests due to emerging new applications in health-care, sports and entertainment. As the design of effective network architectures is a key issue to achieve energy-efficient and low-latency communications between the on-body sensors, the 1-hop star and the 2-hop extended star architectures have recently been promoted by...
Research activities have recently begun on the integration of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) principles into the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). We have contributed to these activities by proposing a P2P SIP architecture where the SIP location service is not managed by the P2P overlay but integrated in proxies that run over peer entities in the P2P overlay. Having SIP proxies as first-class entities, raises...
Numerous studies based on complex measurement platforms have been carried out for over ten years now in order to discover the Internet topology on domain level. It turns out that this topology exhibits certain invariant properties such as a distribution of node degree. This distribution follows a power law. Moreover, the revealed topology is hierarchical. The hierarchy is caused by commercial contracts...
Consensus algorithms permit the computation of global statistics via local communications and without centralized control. We extend previous results by taking into account fading and unidirectional links in ring and random 2-D topologies. We study conditions for convergence and present simulation results to verify the analytical results in this paper. We compare the performance of consensus algorithms...
HAIPE® devices provide encrypted tunneling and transporting services for Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams through an unsecured network on behalf of secure Plain Text (PT) enclaves. Traditionally, secure tunnels were established by manually configuring the local HAIPE with information for peer enclaves. When a large number of enclaves are involved, automation of this configuration process improves...
This paper introduces Fibre Channel about its layers, topologies and class services. Emphasis is placed on the discussion of device login procedure and frame format in different topologies. Based on Xilinx FPGA chip, the design and implementation of the system uses the hardware and software cooperation model. In the experiment, we connect the system with Qlogic2340F and Brocade 200E Fabric switch...
This paper proposes a topology management mechanism for hierarchical group oriented networks. The key innovative aspect of this paper is to consider different interest groups in the clustering formation process. For administrative or performance reasons sometimes it is required to organize nodes, located in the same geographical area, into different groups. This group-oriented topology management...
This paper deals with the effect of mesh and cluster-tree topologies (that are defined in 802.15.4/Zigbee or 802.15.4a standards) in the performance of cooperative and range-based localization algorithms. In this type of localization at least three reference or anchor nodes within range are needed for location estimation (two dimensions). Therefore the successful localization depends on the connectivity...
Our proposed information-diffusion-based routing (IDBR) is implemented on Tsinghua University's large-scale ASON test-bed. The procedure of IDBR is validated together with RSVP-TE signaling in the experiment. Results show that the IDBR is fast converged and has low bandwidth consumption.
Introducing Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology into IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is hard but important, especially to the streaming media service. Based on the strength analysis of IMS and P2P, three solutions with the features of signaling centralized and media distributed are compared, and eventually the solution of managing P2P via application server is selected. For the purpose of reusing the public...
Currently implemented Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) cannot meet the requirement of a data center due to its poor bandwidth utilization and lack of multipathing capability. In this paper, we propose a layer-2 multipathing solution, namely dynamic load balancing multipathing (DLBMP), for data center Ethernets. With DLBMP, traffic between two communication nodes can be spread among multiple paths. The...
In the recent years, the use of real-time Ethernet protocols becomes more and more relevant for time-critical networked industrial applications. In this context, this paper presents a method to compute the worst-case packet delays on switched Ethernet. Based on an evaluation of the packet delays at each switch port and the network topology, we construct a weighted directed graph that allows to find...
An established Intelligent Power Management (IPM) strategy for a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is based on the principal that redundant nodes can be hibernated to conserve their energy. Due to the hibernation, sensed data from the node will be unavailable, which essentially means that the WSN will be blind in the vicinity of the hibernating node. Numerous strategies have been proposed to maintain...
In large multi-domain networks, topology aggregation - besides assuring scalability - has a side-effect as it introduces undesired inaccuracies in the routing information. Such inaccuracy affects the efficiency of routing. In this paper, with the application of a threshold-based aggregation model, the relation between scalability and routing efficiency has been examined by evaluating two different...
This paper presents and compares different TE information dissemination strategies between Path Computation Elements (PCEs) in multi-domain optical networks. In such network context, recent studies have found that path computation only with local domain visibility yields poor network performance. Accordingly, certain visibility between domains seems necessary. Aiming to fit the confidentiality requirements...
Problems of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) caused in the laboratory are predictable, and easy to resolve. While in the deployment and management phases, a number of factors in the environment raise more problems that are difficult to predict or simulation than in laboratory condition. To effective manage and monitor those problems, an effective management mechanism is needed, which analysis the problems...
Earth observation data will be moved through satellite constellations to ground stations by space internet. Routing observation traffic in this environment is constrained by factors such as satellite orbits, satellite capabilities, observation schedules, ground station schedules, and rapidly evolving natural events. Among many global routing algorithms, Dijkstra Algorithm is mostly preferred as it...
We present WiMFlow, a dynamic and self-organized flow monitoring framework in Wireless Mesh Networks. The protocol allows for an autonomic organization of the probes, with the goal of monitoring all the flows in the backbone of the mesh network accurately and robustly, while minimizing the overhead introduced by the monitoring architecture. A new mechanism that adapts the control messages emission...
Energy utilization is a challenging task that is being encountered in low-powered Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) when designing an algorithm, protocol or hardware. Congestion is a factor that can affect a network's lifetime (and energy utilization), since it usually leads to packet drops or collisions in the medium followed by possible retransmissions. Forwarding data packets through alternative...
