Bootstrap loading using TFTP

نویسنده

چکیده

Many computer systems, such as diskless workstations, are bootstrapped by loading one or more code files across a network. Unfortunately, the protocol used to load these initial files has not been standardized numerous methods have been employed by different computer manufacturers. This can make it difficult, for example, for an installation to support several different kinds of systems on a local-area network. Each different booting mechanism that is used must be supported, for example by implementing a number of servers on one or more host machines. This is in spite of the fact that these heterogeneous systems may be able to communicate freely (all using the same protocol) once they have been booted.

Statistical Topology Using the Nonparametric Density Estimation and Bootstrap Algorithm

This paper presents approximate confidence intervals for each function of parameters in a Banach space based on a bootstrap algorithm. We apply kernel density approach to estimate the persistence landscape. In addition, we evaluate the quality distribution function estimator of random variables using integrated mean square error (IMSE). The results of simulation studies show a significant impro...

Performance Implications of Securing Active Networks

Security is an obvious risk to active networking, as increased flexibility creates numerous opportunities for mischief. The point at which this flexibility is exposed, e.g., through the loading of code into network elements, must therefore be carefully crafted to ensure security. The Secure Active Network Environment (SANE) architecture provides a secure bootstrap process resulting in a module ...
