whitepaper HD Broadcasting: The Looming Content Crunch2006-05-03 11:27:53 ADIC
  As broadcasters are shifting from analog to digital operations, they are also reallocating resources to accommodate growing consumer demand for high definition content. IT operations at every stage of the industry's value chain now strain to support environments that must accommodate larger files, increased bandwidth requirements, and accelerated time-to-market expectations. The need to squeeze every bit of value out of all intellectual property within a company means that stored data must be managed with the greatest efficiency possible. This paper examines the storage requirements imposed by the shift to manage high definition content, and suggests sensible guidelines that will help managers define their strategies as they shift to digital storage for their high definition content.   
whitepaper Mobility Helps Peer-to-Peer Security2006-05-10 01:00:28 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  The paper proposes a straightforward technique to provide peer-to-peer security in mobile networks. The paper shows that far from being a hurdle, mobility can be exploited to set up security associations among users and leverages on the temporary vicinity of users, during which appropriate cryptographic protocols are run. The paper illustrates the operation of the solution in two scenarios, both in the framework of mobile ad hoc networks.   
whitepaper Sprint Global MPLS VPN IP white paper2006-09-09 01:00:12 Sprint
  This white paper reveals how Sprint Global MPLS VPN, powered by Cisco Systems, provides a standards-compliant solution designed to meet a wide array of enterprise customers' MPLS VPN-networking needs. Sprint MPLS VPN provides a simple, flexible solution, with security equivalent or better than Frame Relay or ATM alternatives. Sprint is able to provide value-added services such as network-based, firewall protected, secure Internet access; remote access; and Extranet connectivity on a single network platform. Sprint's IP backbone carries Cisco Multiservice Network Designation which certifies the network's performance and capabilities to support both delay-sensitive voice and video applications. Sprint is unique in offering wireless access to Global MPLS VPN. Both Class of Service (CoS) and multicasting capabilities are supported by Sprint Global MPLS VPN at no additional charge from the normal port charge. End-to-End performance reporting and industry leading Service Level Agreement (SLAs) come standard with Sprint Global MPLS VPN, and the service spans the U.S. and more than 100 countries worldwide.   
whitepaper Using IPv6 and Teredo2006-03-14 05:10:11
  The combination of IPv6 and Teredo allows Windows-based hosts to use IPv6-enabled applications that require unsolicited, incoming, IPv6 traffic and global addressing over NATs. The combination of IPv6, Teredo, and a host-based, stateful, IPv6 firewall (such as Windows Firewall) simplifies the configuration of wanted, unsolicited, incoming, IPv6 traffic and protects the Teredo client from unwanted, unsolicited, incoming, IPv6 traffic. Computers running Windows Vista in which IPv6, Teredo, and Windows Firewall are all enabled by default are protected from unwanted, unsolicited, incoming, IPv6 traffic.   
whitepaper Bidirectional 100Mbps IPsec BITW Solution2006-06-02 01:00:29 Fujitsu
  BITW (Bump In The Wire) is a method utilized to apply IPsec protocol on a different device from the host terminal. An IPsec system can be simply constructed by combining the host terminal and this solution. Furthermore, as described above, this solution adopts FUJITSU s MB86978A. It supports the fast introduction of a secure telecommunication environment without deteriorating the network throughput of the current system. FUJITSU is now mass-producing MB86978A, which can process the IPsec protocol at a full-wire speed of 100Mbps in both directions. This paper describes the basic concept and features of the bidirectional 100Mbps IPsec BITW solution, a reference system using this LSI.   
whitepaper Online Company Boosts Site Performance, Realizes ROI in Only One Year2006-09-05 17:48:02 Citrix Systems
  To make traffic-handling more intelligent and efficient for its more than 50 disparate Web sites, the California-based Internet company Ingenio deployed a Citrix NetScaler System, which boosted page-load performance across all Ingenio's Web sites by at least 20 percent. This case study explains how the advanced features that are built into Citrix NetScaler, particularly its content filtering and query redirect capabilities, have created new efficiencies and maximized Ingenio's hardware resources.   
whitepaper BT Communicator: The World's Biggest SIP Deployment2006-11-30 01:00:17 Alcatel
  The growing success of broadband in the consumer market is increasingly linked to aggressive pricing for high-speed Internet access service. It should as a result be no surprise that service providers are introducing IMS network architectures with new, user-centric services, to increase average revenue from customers, and to address new market segments. BT, a major European service provider, is leading the way in the deployment of new-wave services, which it considers part of a fundamental transformation for the company's future. The launch of BT Communicator is a first step in BT's strategy to offer new Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based VoIP and multimedia services for the broad consumer market.   
whitepaper On Using Mobile IP Protocols2007-05-30 08:45:18 Science Publications
  The recent advances in wireless communication technology and the unprecedented growth of the Internet have paved the way for wireless networking and IP mobility. Mobile Internet protocol has been designed within the IETF to support the mobility of users who wish to connect to the Internet and maintain communications as they move from place to place. This paper describes and summarizes the current Internet draft for Mobile IP (MIPv4) with its major components: agent discovery, registration and tunneling. In addition, the paper outlines the available encapsulation techniques and route optimization procedure. In the end, the paper describes the design of the new protocol for transparent routing of IPv6 packets to mobile IPv6 nodes operating in the Internet.   
whitepaper Model Based Protocol Fusion for MANET-Internet Integration2006-05-16 01:00:28 Universitat Basel
  With the wide adoption of wireless communication technologies, the current networking design of the Internet architecture has shown some limitations. Restricted by inherent layering constraints, valuable networking information cannot flow freely inside the network stack and potential operational optimizations are impossible to achieve. To overcome these limitations, this paper extends the current trend of cross-layer approaches with a framework called underlay protocol fusion: the basic building blocks of Internet functionality are factorized out and merged in a function pool where information sharing and operational optimizations are performed. To illustrate the approach, the paper presents LUNARng (LUNAR next generation).   
whitepaper Managing IPv6 Networks2006-07-04 05:45:28 CA (Computer Associates)
  For nearly two decades the dominant networking protocol has been the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). However, within the next three to five years the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is likely to make significant inroads in the networking space. This will be especially true in certain market segments and locations. A forecast by Price Waterhouse suggests that IPv6 will begin deployment in North America in 2007, and that IPv4 will be phased out by approximately 2011. The IPv4 address space exhaustion will continue to be an issue, even using current address limiting techniques.
