An essential attribute of mobile ad hoc networks is the quality of service that makes an impact on the overall performance of the networks while connecting it to the internet. Many authors have faced the challenge to improve the performance in MANET-INERNET integration. To acquire efficient data services and high data rates this type of integration occurs.. The gateway acts as a bridge between ...

In the absence of established infrastructure, Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) can provide a fast and efficient way of communication among the nodes. In this paper, we present a MAC protocol with clusterhead and gateway selection algorithm. Clustering schemes are expected to achieve better scalability since most of the topology changes within a cluster are hidden from the rest of the network. He...

The integration of mobile ad hoc networks into IPbased access networks demands the presence of a gateway which is responsible of propagating some configuration parameters by means of Modified Router Advertisement (MRA) messages. This function, referenced as the gateway discovery mechanism, may be accomplished on demand from the mobile nodes (reactive), periodically activated by the gateway (pro...

Available bit rate (ABR) is an emerging asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)-based telecommunication service, which dynamically allocates bandwidth to the users according to the available bandwidth in the network. However, research shows that ABR-based connections suffer from congestion at LAN–ATM gateway when ATM network abruptly reduces the bandwidth available to the gateway. Gateway congestion m...

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) is gaining wide acceptance in wireless network users due to its unique features. It is also capturing major share of attention amongst researchers as it is in its evolutionary stage and its performance is still under observation. This paper discusses the performance of wireless mesh network where cluster of static nodes is associated with cluster head which serves ...

Internet and multimedia services are widely-provided in All-IP based networks. There has been growing demand for mobile users to get those services. The Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) extends communication range and provides Internet connectivity to mobile users with low upfront investment. In WMN, the traffic usually passes through the gateway and makes it become the common destination of the tra...

Peer-to-peer systems such as Gnutella and Kazaa are used by millions of people for sharing music and many other files over the Internet, and they account for a significant portion of the Internet traffic. The traffic in a peer-to-peer overlay network is different from that in WWW in that each peer is both a client and a server. This suggests that one can deploy a forward cache at the Internet g...

Although a number of home networking solutions such as wired and wireless technologies, middleware technologies, and home gateway technologies have been emerging, none of them dominates the home networking market with satisfying users’ demand on higher quality services. Especially in the home networking environments where diverse technologies coexist, the digital convergence is the important fu...

We propose an integrated gateway for various personal health devices (PHDs). This gateway receives measurements from various PHDs and conveys them to a remote monitoring server (MS). It provides two kinds of transmission modes: immediate transmission and integrated transmission. The former mode operates if a measurement exceeds a predetermined threshold or in the case of an emergency. In the la...

Home gateways connect devices in the home to the rest of the Internet. The gateway is ideally placed to adapt or control application performance to better fit the expectations of home users. However, it is not clear if we can infer user (dis)satisfaction with application performance with data available in a home gateway (i.e. mostly traffic metrics). Joumablatt et al. used machine learning meth...
