At present, greedily managing inter-domain traffic at the edge of the network is becoming a common practice. However, the stability implications of these practices under massive utilization are completely unknown. Given that global stability is a must for the current and future Internet, self-adapting mechanisms will be necessary if masses of absolutely independent and uncoordinated multi-homed...

A Hybrid Ad Hoc Network consists of self-organized and selfconfigured mobile nodes, which make use of a fixed gateway to connect to the Internet. When there are two or more gateways to the fixed network, this is referred to with MultiHomed Hybrid Ad Hoc Network. In this scenario, different networks are formed, each one associated with a different gateway. A node can maintain its connectivity to...

This paper studies the performance of multi-homed transport protocols tolerant of network failure. It evaluates the performance of different retransmission policies combined with path failure detection thresholds, infinite or finite receive buffers for various path bandwidths, delays and loss rate conditions through SCTP simulation. The results show that retransmission policies perform differen...

Dynamic address configuration is essential when maintaining seamless communication sessions in heterogeneous mobile environments. This paper identifies some significant problems when using the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) Dynamic Address Reconfiguration (SCTPDAR) extension. We illustrate that SCTP-DAR can enter a deadlock state during the handover phase, ultimately resulting in c...

Compared to their predecessors, the current generation handheld mobile devices possess higher processing power, increased memory and new multi-homing capabilities. These features combined with the widespread acceptance and use of these devices result in a situation where mobile devices are no longer merely data consumers, but also able to act as data producers. Nomadic mobile services make this...

Abstract Why did Theresa May's government introduce the narrative about ‘Global Britain’, and how this evolve manifest itself in UK foreign policy discourse ensuing years? We make case that Brexit distressed United Kingdom's identity, Britain’ emerged as a means to consolidate identity—at time marked by uncertainty political turmoil. Scholarship on ontological security has theorized states empl...

In this paper, we study the traffic management problem for multi-homed mobile networks with the objective of minimizing the overall handover cost. Two different traffic distribution modes are considered in our study: the Fractional Flow Assignment (FFA) mode which assumes the bandwidth demand from one connection is infinitely splittable and can be assigned to different wireless access networks,...

In a syngeneic murine model of multiple myeloma with many of the characteristics of the human disease, a monoclonal antibody (mAb) to the integrin very late antigen-4 (VLA-4), given after the myeloma has already homed to and begun to establish itself within the bone marrow compartment, produces statistically significant effects on multiple disease variables. These include reductions in circulat...

Home automation, as a model of pervasive computing, is progressively becoming substantial for people homed in developed societies. With the proliferation in the usage of household electronic and electrical appliances,numerous data and multifarious controlslevycumbersome burden on residentialhome automation control units, making it expensive and difficult for the users to autonomously install, c...

The widespread deployment of various networking technologies, coupled with the exponential increase in enduser data demand, have led to the proliferation of multi-homed, or multi-interface enabled, devices. These trends drove researchers to investigate a wide spectrum of solutions, at different layers of the protocol stack, that utilize available interfaces in such devices by aggregating their ...
