IP address mutation is a proactive defense method that is used to reduce the risk of network attacks, especially to deal with the worm propagation attacks. However, previous work did not give much consideration to the negative effects that IP address mutation could bring to network performance. To be specific, there is a trade-off between network performance and security, which implies that when a...
With the current limitations of network technology, jumbo frames provide a mechanism that can allow greater amount of data transfer efficiently on cables. Implementation of jumbo frames is a viable option on Gigabit Ethernet. In this research undertaking, the authors implement jumbo frames on a test-bed implemented with Windows routers and performance related metrics are measured for both IPv4 and...
A united framework for transport layer is proposed to improve its congestion control status quo. Designed to be a two-layer structure, the framework utilizes measurement infrastructure or services in its up layer to understand internal network states, which is then used to derive a common control objective for down layer on amount of extra packets. The down layer, composed of end systems, carries...
The paper reports the outcome of an experimental evaluation of two open source solutions for realising a Wireless Mesh Network (WMN). Both works at layer two of the ISO/OSI stack and are transparent to the IP layer, i.e. they allow keeping the existing TCP/IP stack unchanged and avoid dealing with the complex IP configuration and management tasks. The first solution is the upcoming IEEE 802.11s standard,...
Unfortunately, IPv4 and IPv6 are incompatible with each other. So, a transition mechanism is required during the time of migration from IPv4 to IPv6 networks. Bi-directional mapping system (BDMS) is one of the mechanisms reported in the literature to perform IPv4/IPv6 conversion whereas the dual stack transition mechanism (DSTM) is designed to perform IPv4 to IPv6 transition for IPv6 dominant network...
