The Bluetooth specification defines gateway nodes so that piconets communicate among each other in a seamless ad-hoc manner, forming scatternets. The specification also defines primitives for gateway nodes to divide their time between their piconets, but the actual mechanism and algorithms that this can be accomplished is left open. The time division in gateways effectively limits the network c...

We propose a verifiable and anonymous broadcast encryption scheme, where an 'untrusted' gateway can verify incoming communication flows to ensure only the intended anonymous receivers in the target domain can receive them. This scenario is interesting while the privacy of receivers should be considered. The difficulty in this setting is how to achieve both confidentiality of the message and ano...

The waiting tame and queue length characteristics of isochronous, synchronous and asynchronous traffic a t the gateway between FDDI-11 and A T M networks are analyzed. A generalized approach to analyze various classes of traffic sperately, is discussed. We first present an overview of our gateway model. Next, a de terministic analysis of isochronous traffic is presented. Synhronous and asynchro...

This document specifies an architecture and a gateway-to-gateway protocol for the implementation of fibre channel fabric functionality over an IP network. This functionality is provided through TCP protocols for fibre channel frame transport and the distributed fabric services specified by the fibre channel standards. The architecture enables internetworking of fibre channel devices through gat...
