Curriculum based on internetworking devices is primarily based on the Command Line Interface (CLI) and case studies. However a single CLI command may produce output that is not only hierarchical but must also be interpreted – both represent learning difficulties for novices. It should also be noted that device status requires many different CLI commands. Internetworking curriculum also typicall...

This contribution takes a quote from Einstein, We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them, to take a step back and try to have another viewpoint when thinking about a new internetworking architecture. The ongoing research will not be looked at from an application research point of view nor from a communication technology point of view, but from a sof...

Adaptive applications are a key concept to take into account when dealing with multimedia internetworking in wireless and mobile environments in which abrupt changes in the network conditions may occur. In these scenarios not all the problems in the multimedia quality are due to congestion as it happens in fixed networks but also to interference, mobility, and many other issues. This paper pres...

This paper proposes a novel approach centered on the multimedia internetworking to develop distributed virtual instruments. Multimedia internetworking refers to network infrastructures, protocols, models, applications and techniques being currently deployed over the Internet to support multimedia applications, e.g., videoconferencing, VOD, shared workspaces. It is applied to broaden the concept...

In this paper, we propose internetworking strategy of WLAN and MANET. Both WLAN and MANET are based on IEEE 802.11 for MAC layer protocol while they adopt different mode, such as infrastructure and ad-hoc. To support internetworking between different IEEE 802.11 modes, switching algorithm on mobile node is proposed. This algorithm is mainly affected by user’s preference, not only by signal stre...

The potential of the Grid computing paradigm has led to the creation of several regional and national Grid environments. These environments are, however, like “Grid islands” with no resource sharing between them. We have presented an architecture to enable internetworking of Grids for resource sharing based on peering arrangements between Grids. This architecture and related mechanisms and poli...

In this paper we discuss issues of design of a platform that can support effectively the internetworking of independent Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). Specifically, our work focuses on the design of the Request-Routing Internetworking System (RRIS), i.e. the entity responsible for forwarding client requests to the CDNs that can best satisfy them. In order to take routing decisions, the RRIS ...

This paper studies the connection admission control for PCS-to-Internet protocol internetworking. In order to provide QoS to the Internet and avoid scalability problems, several recent papers proposed endpoint measurement-based admission control (EMAC) schemes, in which admission decisions are based measurement results from probe packets exchanged between end hosts. Although EMAC has many desir...
