whitepaper Network Operating System Evolution08/10/08 Juniper Networks
  This paper discusses the requirements and challenges inherent in the design of carrier-class network operating system (OS). Key facets of JUNOS™ software, the Juniper Networks OS, are used to illustrate the evolution of OS design and underscore the relationship between functionality and architectural decisions.

The challenge of designing a contemporary network operating system is examined from different angles, including flexibility, ability to power a wide range of platforms, nonstop operation, and parallelism. Architectural challenges, trade-offs and opportunities are identified, as well as some of the best practices in building state-of-the-art network operating systems. 		 sponsored by
whitepaper A Novel Coding Technique to Minimise the Transmission Bandwidth and Bit Error Rate in DPSK2008-05-01 JNT UNIVERSITY
  This paper proposes a novel coding technique that aims to reduce the Transmission Bandwidth (BT) and Bit Error Rate (BER) vis-a-vis Conventional Differential Phase Shift Keying (CDPSK) in digital band pass transmission. In CDPSK two successive bits are used for encoding. The proposed method encodes information with respect to the consecutive two bits b(t-Tb) and b(t-2Tb). The encoded data is keyed on to the phase. The received signal is demodulated by using the present phase ö(t) and the two phases ö(t-Tb) and ö(t-2Tb). Comparative analysis between the two techniques reveals the advantages of the proposed technique.

whitepaper Slovenia's T-2 d.o.o. Uses Extreme Networks to Build Future-Ready Triple Play Platform2008-05-01 Extreme Networks
  T-2 d.o.o. is Slovenia's most innovative and fastest growing service provider. In order to deliver a new triple play service offering and support the highest-quality telephony and television services available in Slovenia, T-2 needed an alternative to the nation's copper-based infrastructure. After deciding to roll out its own fiber, T-2 then needed a high-performance yet cost-effective switching infrastructure. T-2 deployed Extreme Networks which provided a comprehensive solution based on BlackDiamond and Summit switches, providing the performance, reliability, and resiliency needed to deliver voice, video and data services over fiber to the service provider's customers.

whitepaper The High-Availability Agency: How a Simpler Network Can Meet the Demands of Mission-Critical Applications2008-05-01 Ciena
  Emerging applications like VoIP, video, Web services, and data replication are placing unprecedented performance demands on agency networks. Meanwhile, agencies are under tremendous pressure to reduce costs, comply with mandates, and demonstrate effectiveness. For example, just as agencies become increasingly dependent on net-centric applications, the Trusted Internet Connections (TIC) initiative has set an urgent deadline for reducing the overall number of government Internet connections. The transition to the Networx contract is also compelling agencies to take a new look at their network architectures and infrastructure. Addressing these requirements one at a time will not meet demands quickly enough. Agencies must respond to market challenges rapidly while keeping networking costs under control.

whitepaper Massively Scalable NAS - Pre-Empting Tomorrow's Data Overload With Today's Technology2008-05-01 Enterprise Management Associates
  NAS has always been simple?unless IT managers wanted to grow their NAS storage significantly. Then the simplicity evaporated. With massive storage build-outs a necessity, a simply managed, highly scalable NAS environment is a must. For the first time, storage administrators are thinking in terms of managing petabytes of data. Fortunately, new technologies make such systems available even to IT shops with limited budgets. Smaller firms as well as large enterprises can scale their storage to meet demands, and can align their storage investment to accommodate a need for more storage, for faster storage, or both.

whitepaper Wireless Sensor Network for Wearable Physiological Monitoring2008-05-01 Academy Publisher
  Wearable physiological monitoring system consists of an array of sensors embedded into the fabric of the wearer to continuously monitor the physiological parameters and transmit wireless to a remote monitoring station. At the remote monitoring station the data is correlated to study the overall health status of the wearer. In the conventional wearable physiological monitoring system, the sensors are integrated at specific locations on the vest and are interconnected to the wearable data acquisition hardware by wires woven into the fabric. The paper discusses wireless sensor network and its application to wearable physiological monitoring and its applications. Also the problems associated with conventional wearable physiological monitoring are discussed.

whitepaper Application Sensitivity to Link and Injection Bandwidth on a Cray XT4 System2008-05-01 Sandia National Laboratories
  This paper describes the efforts to characterize application sensitivity to link and injection bandwidth on a Cray XT4 system. Link bandwidth is controlled by modifying the number of rails activated per network link. Injection bandwidth is controlled by modifying the speed of the HyperTransport connection between the Opteron and the SeaStar. A suite of micro-benchmarks and applications is evaluated at several different operating points. The experimental techniques developed by this paper are expected to be useful for future architecture research.

whitepaper IPv6 and IPsec Tests of a Space-Based Asset, the Cisco Router in Low Earth Orbit (CLEO)2008-05-01 NASA
  This paper documents the design of network infrastructure to support testing and demonstrating network-centric operations and command and control of space-based assets, using IPv6 and IPsec. These tests were performed using the Cisco router in Low Earth Orbit (CLEO), an experimental payload onboard the United Kingdom - Disaster Monitoring Constellation (UKDMC) satellite built and operated by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL). Off late, NASA Glenn Research Center, Cisco Systems and SSTL performed the first configuration and demonstration of IPsec and IPv6 onboard a satellite in low Earth orbit. IPv6 is the next generation of the Internet Protocol (IP), designed to improve on the popular IPv4 that built the Internet, while IPsec is the protocol used to secure communication across IP networks.
