All-Optical Decrementing of a Packet’s Time-to-Live (TTL) Field and Subsequent Dropping of a Zero-TTL Packet
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate an optical time-to-live (TTL) decrementing module for optical packet-switched networks. Our module acts on a standard NRZ-modulated binary TTL field within a 10 Gb/s packet and decrements it by one if the TTL is nonzero. If the TTL of the incoming packet is zero, the module signals an optical switch to drop the packet. Our technique is independent of the TTL length, does not require the use of ultrashort RZ optical pulses, requires no guard time between the end of the TTL field and the packet data, and has only a 2.4 dB power penalty at 10 9 bit-error rate.

The Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM) for the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
The Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM) describes a generalized use of a packet’s Time to Live (TTL) (IPv4) or Hop Limit (IPv6) to verify that the packet was sourced by a node on a connected link, thereby protecting the router’s IP control plane from CPU utilization-based attacks. This technique improves security and is used by many protocols. This document defines the GTSM use for the La...
متن کاملDynamics of the IP Time To Live Field in Internet Traffic Flows
The Time To Live (TTL) field present in the IP protocol header is used to limit the lifetime of packets in the network. Previous research has measured TTL for studying path lengths and dynamics in IP networks, and for detecting route changes. How the TTL varies over short timescales of subsequent packets of traffic flows has not yet been analysed. Such knowledge is needed for passively detectin...
متن کاملMitigation of Transient Loops in IGP Networks_Camera Ready
Routing loops have recently re-emerged as an important issue in new carrier class Ethernet technologies such as IEEE 802.1aq. While they can waste resources through full link utilization, routing loops were originally mitigated in IP networks by TTL expiration, resulting in wasted resources before packets were dropped after a few seconds. In this paper a new mitigation approach based upon Early...
متن کاملPerformance analysis of geography-limited broadcasting in multihop wireless networks
In multihop wireless networks, delivering a packet to all nodes within a specified geographic distance from the source is a packet forwarding primitive (geography-limited broadcasting), which has a wide range of applications including disaster recovery, environment monitoring, intelligent transportation, battlefield communications, and location-based services. Geography-limited broadcasting, ho...
متن کاملOptical packet marking for fast discarding in an OLS scheme
We propose and validate experimentally a Time-to-Live signaling system for an Optical Label Swapping scheme based on 10 Gbit/s DPSK packets and with 100 Mbit/s SCM label. The proposed scheme allows fast packet discarding by using a 3.5 GHz sub-carrier tone. DPSK payload has only a 2 dB power penalty at 10 –9 bit error-rate after superimposing the SCM and TTL labeling signal. Introduction Due th...
