whitepaper Building a Foundation for SIP With Avaya Intelligent Communications Solutions2006-08-30 01:00:13 Avaya
  Imagine a communications environment where a central directory server not only knows how to reach an individual's work phone, cell phone, and pager, but also her Instant Messaging (IM) program, e-mail, and PDA. Finally, imagine that phone calls to an unavailable person can be intelligently rerouted to another person or group depending upon a number of interrelated factors such as time of day, whether the called person is scheduled to be in a meeting, or whether one or more of her modes of communication is unreachable. These capabilities aren't some dream of a far-off utopian future, but are available today with remarkable advance in communications: Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).   
whitepaper Software Company Takes Collaboration to New Heights2006-09-26 01:00:16 Cisco Systems
  This case study examines how a global Software Development company reduced costs by $10,000 a month, sped product development, improved quality, and delivered better service and support by improving operational efficiency.   
whitepaper Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for Windows 20002006-06-02 01:00:29 Microsoft
  The Microsoft Windows 2000 Server network operating system includes an enhanced implementation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This includes integration of DHCP with Domain Name System (DNS), enhanced monitoring and statistical reporting for DHCP servers, new vendor-specific options and user-class support, multicast address allocation, and rogue DHCP server detection. Also included is a discussion of Windows Clustering, a part of Windows 2000 Advanced Server. DHCP for Windows 2000 is open and based on industry standards, supporting Requests For Comments (RFCs) 2131 and 2132.   
whitepaper Configuring IPv6 With Windows Vista2006-06-02 01:00:29 Microsoft
  Microsoft Windows Vista includes an implementation of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) that, unlike Windows XP, is installed and enabled by default. Although IPv6 is designed to be self-configuring, one can manually specify IPv6 configuration settings. This paper describes how to manually configure IPv6 in Windows Vista using the Windows graphical user interface and at a command line for the February Community Technology Preview (CTP) release of Windows Vista.   
whitepaper Efficient Byzantine Broadcast in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks2006-05-16 01:00:28 Technion - Israel Institute of Technology
  This paper presents an overlay based Byzantine tolerant broadcast protocol for wireless ad-hoc networks. The use of an overlay results in a significant reduction in the number of messages. The protocol overcomes Byzantine failures by combining digital signatures, gossiping of message signatures, and failure detectors. These ensure that messages dropped or modified by Byzantine nodes will be detected and retransmitted and that the overlay will eventually consist of enough correct processes to enable message dissemination. An appealing property of the protocol is that it only requires the existence of one correct node in each one-hop neighborhood. The paper also includes a detailed performance evaluation by simulation.   
whitepaper Secure Anonymous RFID Authentication Protocols2006-05-10 01:00:27 Florida State University
  The growing use of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology to enhance ubiquitous computing environments has only begun to be realized. The advantages of using RFID technology is growing tremendously and is gaining much attention as is seen by an increase in its deployment, such as object tracking and monitoring, supply-chain management, and personalized information services. Numerous authentication protocols for RFID systems were proposed in an attempt to prevent unauthorized tracking and monitoring, impersonation or cloning, and information leakage. This paper proposes three anonymous RFID authentication protocols and proves that they are secure in the traditional cryptographic framework.   
whitepaper Cognitive Authentication Schemes Safe Against Spyware (Short Paper)2006-06-08 01:00:27 Hebrew University of Jerusalem
  This paper proposes challenge response protocols that rely on a shared secret set of pictures. Under the considered brute-force attack the protocols are safe against eavesdropping, in that a modestly powered adversary who fully records a series of successful interactions cannot compute the user's secret. Moreover, the protocols can be tuned to any desired level of security against random guessing, where security can be traded-off with authentication time. The proposed protocols have two drawbacks: First, training is required to familiarize the user with the secret set of pictures. Second, depending on the level of security required, entry time can be significantly longer than with alternative methods.   
whitepaper Rogue Applications: PinPoint the Root Cause of Rogue Streaming Media Problems2006-05-26 02:35:07 Network General
  One of the biggest challenges in enterprises today is tracking down the root cause of network utilization issues. Rogue Applications contribute to this problem and are impacting many critical business services on today's networks. This white paper:

  • Looks at how to isolate rogue streaming media problems on your network in real-time and post capture.
  • Shows how bandwidth problems impact your overall network.
  • Demonstrates the benefits of how real-time statistical monitoring, alerting, advanced filtering, triggers, and more will provide the visibility to resolve rogue streaming media problems on your network.

   
whitepaper An Open Approach to Advanced Voice Applications for Cisco CallManager2007-01-06 01:00:22 Adomo
  This paper highlights an open approach to IP telephony applications that, running alongside CallManager, has the power to change how your business communicates, inside and out. It is these "next-generation" open applications, and not the phones or the PBX, that will deliver the business value that converged networks promise. New functionality under the umbrella of Unified Communications allows users to work with voice messages as easilyas email and to work remotely as easily as locally. Speech interfaces can save time and mask complexity. As a perfect complement to your Cisco VoIP rollout, these new end-user capabilities make your organization more productive, more responsive, and ultimately more competitive.

whitepaper Internet Exchanges: Moving to 10 Gigabit Ethernet2006-05-01 Force10 Networks
  Internet Exchanges (IX points, or IXs), sometimes also known as Network Access Points (NAPs) or Metropolitan Area Exchanges (MAEs), are facilities designed expressly to simplify interconnection (BGP peering and traffic exchange) among independent ISPs and other carriers. With the growing popularity broadband Internet access, ISPs are increasingly dependent on IXs for local connectivity and cost control. As a result, a number of IXs are experiencing rapid growth in the number of ISP customers and the bandwidth required by each ISP. To meet these challenges of both more stringent SLAs and more predictable network behavior under different traffic loading, IXs are generally deploying simple Layer 2 switched Ethernet networks as the most flexible and economical network technology available to satisfy their customer's demands.
