routing in wireless sensor networks (wsns) is a very challenging task due to the large number of nodes, their mobility and lack of proper infrastructure. since the sensors are battery powered devices, energy efficiency is considered as one of the main factors in designing routing protocols in wsns. most of energy-aware routing protocols are mere energy savers that attempt to decrease the energy...

In Local Area Networks (LAN) connected together by bridges, flow control and smooth traffic in the network is very important. However, congestion at bridges can cause intensive loss of received frames. In addition, the received frames are thrown away and have to be retransmitted by the source station, which causes more congestion and massive reduction in the overall network throughput. The netw...

This document describes a proposed protocol to be used in an implementation of a PDP-11 network Bootstrap service and a cross-network debugger. The protocol is designed for debugging processes running under an operating system which can perform some of the "lower level" debugging tasks, such as planting and removing breakpoints and single stepping. A subset of the protocol could be used if such...

Protocol reverse engineering is the process of extracting application-level specifications for network protocols. Such specifications are very helpful in a number of security-related contexts. For example, they are needed by intrusion detection systems to perform deep packet inspection, and they allow the implementation of black-box fuzzing tools. Unfortunately, manual reverse engineering is a ...

Paper deals with simple and efficient protocols for forming and maintaining a Bluetooth network. The protocols are designed for mobile situations with frequent topology changes and for routing of translated messages between Bluetooth network members. To provide a simple, distributed solution to form an ad hoc network the protocols are based on a set of rules. The resulting topology is a mesh ne...

emission trading is one of the famous mechanisms under kyoto protocol to control environmental pollution. the aim of this paper is to design a strategic supply chain network under emission trading scheme with inclusion of stochastic parameters and budget limitation. demand and price of carbon credits are considered as the important stochastic parameters influencing the supply chain network. in ...

Mobile data networks are important parts of global communications. The network protocol deployed in the mobile network is typically based on a wireline network protocol, which is either a connection-oriented network protocol or connectionless network protocol. In this paper, we show that neither of these protocols ts well for a dynamic mobile network. Instead, we argue that by enabling the netw...

We consider a grid network where nodes contain small buffers. A packet that faces a crowded buffer in its route will get extra latency and may be dropped. In this paper, we propose a novel flow control protocol called RFCC for grid networks. RFCC tries to reroute delayed packets and utilizes network coding to introduce a configurable amount of redundant information in the network, thereby incre...
