A new internetworking architecture based on the Cell Switch Router (CSR) was described. Possible use and protocol overview of the CSR, and migration scenario from conventional ATM internetwork-ing architecture based on the ATM Forum's LAN Emulation or IETF's RFC1577 to CSR-based inter-networking which would cooperate with the MPOA-based architecture was investigated. It provides users with high...

Publish-Subscribe is a paradigm that is recently receiving increasing attention by the research community, mainly due to its information oriented nature. Although the publish-subscribe paradigm yields significant security advantages over the traditional send-receive one, various security and privacy challenges are raised when it comes to the design of an internetworking architecture that is sol...

Social Internetworking Systems are a significantly emerging new reality; they group together some social networks and allow their users to share resources, to acquire opinions and, more in general, to interact, even if these users belong to different social networks and, therefore, did not previously know each other. In this context, owing to the huge dimension of existing social networks, the ...

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the protocol used to provide connectionless communication between hosts connected to the Internet. It provides a basic internetworking service to transport protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). These in turn provide both connection-oriented and connectionless services to applications such as file transfer (FTP) and ...

The Logistical Computing and Internetworking (LoCI) project is a reflection of the way that the next generation internetworking fundamentally changes our definition of high performance wide area computing. A key to achieving this aim is the development of middleware that can provide reliable, flexible, scalable, and cost-effective delivery of data with quality of service (QoS) guarantees to sup...
