The Internet uses a process called routing convergence to quickly find suitable forwarding paths after dynamic network changes such as failures. During routing convergence, routers may have inconsistent forwarding state that leads to massive packet loss or forwarding loops. Real-time applications are often sensitive to loss and delay, and may produce noticeable performance degradation. Recent w...

In this paper, we propose a novel solution to scalable forwarding problem in content centric networks (CCN) that relies on the use of hash-based content names for packet forwarding. Proposed approach continues the hierarchical naming format of CCN by converting human readable name prefixes to their hashbased counterparts to enable faster packet processing at the content routers, with additional...

We present Obstacle-aware Virtual Circuit geographic Routing (OVCR), a novel routing mechanism for obstacle-aware wireless sensor networks that uses the obstacle-free path computed by the sink to make the greedy forwarding of geographic routing dependable. OVCR discovers obstacle-free paths by the powerful sink as obstacles are detected. To bypass obstacles, the information of obstacle-free pat...

A Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a most popular application of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). A lot of research work around the world is being conducted to design an efficient routing protocol for VANETs. In this paper, we examine the significance of Greedy Forwarding with Border Node based approach for VANETs. We propose a position based routing protocol to forward packet to the border ...

This paper proposes a novel traffic engineering method for improving the throughput characteristics of optical packet forwarding in an optical packet / path integrated network. This method is based on bypassing optical packets rejected from a highly-loaded optical packet switch onto one of the adjacent packet switches via an optical path to increase the network throughput. Since the formation o...

A promising energy conserving technique for the Ad hoc network must maintain effective packet forwarding capacity when turning off the network interface for idle nodes to reduce power consumption. This paper incorporates the energy conserving technique with the Ant Colony routing protocol and proposes a new EC-PPRA routing algorithm. We use the pheromone mechanism to make routing decision while...

While it is widely understood that criminal miscreants are subverting large numbers of Internet-connected computers (e.g., for bots, spyware, SPAM forwarding), it is less well appreciated that Internet routers are also being actively targeted and compromised. Indeed, due to its central role in end-to-end communication, a compromised router can be leveraged to empower a wide range of direct atta...

<p>In this paper, a high-performance routing protocol with multiple mobile nodes based on reliable active is put forward since network are not involved in the reliability work when existing OSPF forwards packet, which results several problems such as low rate of packet forwarding, long average delay end-to-end, high energy consumption and short service lifetime nodes. The hierarchical mod...

In this paper we propose a novel hardware-software co-design vision that aims at enhancing flexibility and reusability of hardware based packet forwarding engines. In particular, we move on the path of the well-known OpenFlow architecture. However, although such approach is certainly powerful, it is biased towards routing-related applications: its main goal is to allow the software control plan...
