Virtual routing is a software design method used to provide multiple “independent” routers that share a common processor, memory, and a set of interfaces. This in-turn supports an emerging class of internetworking device, a so-called “router aggregation system” at the network edge. There is some debate as to whether virtual routers are the best means to support customer demands for IP infrastru...

The chances of firms achieving, or being subjected to, strategic surprise have escalated with the growth of internetworking technologies and the opportunities these afford for various forms of information warfare (IW) and net terrorism. The more a business depends on sophisticated information systems, the greater its vulnerability to stealth attack. Defensive IW will soon become a necessary cos...

The emergence of internetworked systems enables corporations and government agencies to share information in an unprecedented fashion. The sharing of information expands the traditional enterprise boundary to even include dynamically established virtual enterprises. The internetworking of systems introduces significant security challenges and requirements for a new enterprise security assessmen...

Publish/Subscribe is a paradigm that continuously receives increasing attention by the research community, mainly due to its information oriented nature. The PSIRP (Publish-Subscribe Internet Routing Paradigm) project aims at developing and evaluating a clean slate architecture for the future Internet, based on this paradigm. Availability, security, and mobility, are considered as core elements...

In this paper we study the internetworking of WWANs and WLANs for next generation wireless packet data networks motivated by the capacity and coverage tradeoffs of the two networks. We compare different types of network architectures and propose a one-hop WWAN and multihop WLAN architecture to provide users with guaranteed service and smooth hand-offs. We then show through simulations that the ...

The Internet continuous growth and its widespread applications require adequate solutions for scaling routing performance. A number of approaches have been recently proposed by different vendors to prepare for the next generation Internet, and new router architectures, capable of processing millions of packets per second, are starting to appear. The efficient processing of IP addresses in such ...

New emerging IP services based on differentiated services and the IP security architecture offer the level of communication support that corporate Internet applications need nowadays. However, these services add an additional degree of complexity to IP networks which will require sophisticated management support. The management of enhanced IP services for their customers is thus an emerging imp...

Large scale systems are becoming more and more common today. There are many distributed applications emerging that use the capability of worldwide internetworking. Since a lot of applications need insurance of consistency even in the presence of failures, an adequate support for fault-tolerance is necessary. This can be provided by diierent paradigms and their implementations. Unfortunately, mo...

The next generation of compute servers will be based on clusters of compute blades integrated within a common chassis The integration of advanced networking functions within the chassis promises to simplify the deployment of servers on a large scale by eliminating the need to deploy external inter-network devices on a oneto-one basis (e.g., one or more network ports per server). This paper exam...

HAS Network Medium I Abstract A three-tier gateway architecture for internetworking between home automation networks and a TCPlIP based wide area network, such as the internet, is described. The architecture abstracts the functionality of any home network into a driver layer (tier one), and provides a common access layer (tier two) from any TCP/IP network application (tier three) to a local hom...
