An optical resonator with intracavity Kerr nonlinearity can exhibit dispersive bistability suitable for alloptical switching. With nanophotonic elements it may be possible to achieve attojoule switching energies, which would be very attractive for ultra-low power operation but potentially problematic because of quantum fluctuation-induced spontaneous switching. In this Letter I derive a quantum...

Fast Mobile IPv6 requires that a Fast Binding Update is secured using a security association shared between an Access Router and a Mobile Node in order to avoid certain attacks. In this document, a method for provisioning a shared key from the Access Router to the Mobile Node is defined to protect this signaling. The Mobile Node generates a public/private key pair using the same public key algo...

Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) architectures have become mainstream for designing processors. With a large number of cores, Network-On-Chip (NOC) provides a scalable communication method for CMP architectures, where wires become abundant resources available inside the chip. NOC must be carefully designed to meet constraints of power and area, and provide ultra low latencies. In this paper, we propo...

In the last decade many works has been done on the Internet topology at router or autonomous system (AS) level. As routers is the essential composition of ASes while ASes dominate the behavior of their routers. It is no doubt that identifying the affiliation between routers and ASes can let us gain a deeper understanding on the topology. However, the existing methods that assign a router to an ...

Recently, several router-based congestion control mechanisms have been proposed to support an end-to-end congestion control mechanism of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). In this paper, we focus on a RED (Random Early Detection) router, which is one of promising router-based congestion control mechanisms. The RED router randomly drops the arriving packet by alignment probability to an averag...

A BF-BASEDANALYTICALMODEL : DETAILS At its core, the analytical model of BF-based forwarding calculates the probability of forwarding decisions within a router, assuming Longest Prefix Matching (LPM) semantics. E.g. say a router has 3 interfaces 0, 1 and 2 each associated forwarding entries with sizes 1 or 2. Themodel calculates the probability of events such as ‘having a packet forwarded over ...

The explosive growth of Internet users, the increased user demand for bandwidth, and the declining cost of technology have all resulted in the emergence of new classes of high-speed distributed IP-router architectures with packet-forwarding rates on the order of gigabits, or even terabits, per second. This paper develops an analytical framework for modeling and analyzing the impact of technolog...

The need to increase transmission capacity in communication networks is becoming very critical. This task can be accomplished by taking advantage of optical networks where techniques such as DWDM and OTDM are combined with the use of all-optical devices to help eliminate electronic bottlenecks. To fulfill these needs a new class of alloptical devices have been proposed and successfully demonstr...

One promising approach for scalable quantum computing is to use an alloptical architecture, in which the qubits are represented by photons and manipulated by mirrors and beam splitters. So far, researchers have demonstrated this method, called Linear Optical Quantum Computing, on a very small scale by performing operations using just a few photons. In an attempt to scale up this method to large...

Intellectual Property (IP) reuse is a well known practice in chip design processes. Nowadays, network-on-chips (NoCs) are increasingly used as IP and sold by various vendors to be integrated multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC). However, exposes the theft, an attacker can launch stealing attacks against NoC IPs. With growing adoption of MPSoC, such result huge financial losses. In this article...
