In on-board mobile networks, users are connected to a local network that attaches to the Internet via a mobile router and a wireless link. The mobile router has a central role in servicing the mobile network, which makes the security of the mobile router crucial. The security of mobility management protocols used by mobile router, such as Mobile IPv6, have been studied thoroughly. However, the ...

Click is a new software architecture for building flexible and configurable routers. A Click router is assembled from packet processing modules called elements. Individual elements implement simple router functions like packet classification, queueing, scheduling, and interfacing with network devices. Complete configurations are built by connecting elements into a graph; packets flow along the ...

Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks have become a major threat to the Internet. As a countermeasure against DDoS attacks, IP traceback schemes identify the network paths the attack traffic traverses. This paper presents a novel IP traceback scheme called Router Interface Marking (RIM). In RIM, a router probabilistically marks packets with a router interface’s identifier. After collecti...

Network-on-Chip (NoC) is most widely used as a communication framework to connect various Intellectual Properties (IPs) in an Integrated Circuit (IC). As technology scales down, buffers present NoC Router are more prone Multiple Cell Upsets (MCUs). To overcome this, Error Correction Code (ECC) introduced Router. Inclusion of ECC increases the number redundant bits stored buffer for error correc...

As chip complexity keeps increasing in system-on-chip (SoC), the on-chip interconnect has become a critical issue for large-scale chip design. It has been proposed that the packet-switched network exchanging messages between intellectual property (IP) cores is a viable solution for the SoC interconnect problem. The design of the router in such network-on-chip (NoC) architectures is the key to h...

This paper applies programming language techniques to a high-level system description, both to optimize the system and to prove useful properties about it. The system in question is Click, a modular software router framework [13]. Click routers are built from components called elements. Elements are written in C++, but the user creates a configuration using a simple, declarative data flow langu...

Fast Mobile IPv6 requires that a Fast Binding Update is secured using a security association shared between an Access Router and a Mobile Node in order to avoid certain attacks. In this document, a method for provisioning a shared key from the Access Router to the Mobile Node is defined to protect this signaling. The Mobile Node generates a public/private key pair using the same public key algo...

Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) architectures have become mainstream for designing processors. With a large number of cores, Network-On-Chip (NOC) provides a scalable communication method for CMP architectures, where wires become abundant resources available inside the chip. NOC must be carefully designed to meet constraints of power and area, and provide ultra low latencies. In this paper, we propo...

In the last decade many works has been done on the Internet topology at router or autonomous system (AS) level. As routers is the essential composition of ASes while ASes dominate the behavior of their routers. It is no doubt that identifying the affiliation between routers and ASes can let us gain a deeper understanding on the topology. However, the existing methods that assign a router to an ...

Recently, several router-based congestion control mechanisms have been proposed to support an end-to-end congestion control mechanism of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). In this paper, we focus on a RED (Random Early Detection) router, which is one of promising router-based congestion control mechanisms. The RED router randomly drops the arriving packet by alignment probability to an averag...
