The Internet Protocol (IP) has been proven very flexible, being able to accommodate all kinds of link technologies and supporting a broad range of applications. The basic principles of the original Internet architecture include end-to-end addressing, global routeability and a single namespace of IP addresses that unintentionally serves both as locators and host identifiers. The commercial succe...

We propose NCQ (Non-Congestive Queuing) as a scheduling discipline that allows for efficient interoperation of sensor networks with the Internet. NCQ promotes conditionally small data packets, which require comparatively minor service times, as long as their total service times cause insignificant delays to other packets in the queue. Therefore, NCQ introduces a new service philosophy, which pr...

1 Cheer-sun D. Yang, West Chester University of Pennsylvania, Anderson Hall 324, West Chester, PA 19383 [email protected] Abstract  This paper presents a nontraditional approach to incorporate the concept of information security with the course entitled 'internetworking with TCP/IP'. Traditionally, the internetworking course mainly concentrated on the interconnection of homogeneous and heterogen...

We present a packet switched inter-networking paradigm different from the existing ones in that we argue for publish/subscribe (pub/sub) based networking architecture. The key idea of the paradigm is to distribute control over data reception from network endpoints to the network itself, and combine this with the way routing and forwarding is performed. In this paper, we outline the argumentatio...

ion layers also fall into redundancy traps. Each layer may need to reverify a data buffer, or re-do computation that another layer may have already performed simply because it does not have access to cross-layer information. Crosstalk can be useful in removing redundancy, or performing a jointoptimisation between layers for careful control [10]. The I0 micro-stack is an example of where informa...

Results on routing and multicasting for large-scale internets are summarized. The technical material discussed assumes familiarity with the content of our proposal and previous quarterly reports submitted in this project.

The importance of the betweenness centrality measure in (on-line) social networks is well known, as well as its possible applications to various domains. However, the classical notion of betweenness centrality is not able to capture the centrality of nodes w.r.t. paths crossing different social networks. In other words, it is not able to detect those nodes of a multi-social-network scenario (ca...

This document discusses how inter-domain routing using Shared Risk Group (SRG) may be used for computing diverse paths, and also discusses the extensions that we propose for routing (and eventually signaling) protocols. The concepts proposed in this document are useful to provide the requested intelligent control plane for multi-layered networks. Notice: This contribution has been created to as...
