whitepaper Layer 3 Malformed Packet Testing in MCI's Public IP Network2005-10-20 09:50:11
  Malformed packets associated with routing protocols can cause undesirable consequences if not detected and contained properly as close to the originator as possible. This issue magnifies in scope and complexity in a large-scale network, such as a public IP network. A malformed routing packet has the potential to impact thousands of customers as well as all the major Internet service providers (ISP) in a matter of seconds. This paper discusses internally developed techniques that enable engineers to study the response in a lab environment and insure that these packets cause no disruption to network operations. These measures have been implemented for almost three years and during this time no major outage has occurred due to malformed Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) or Intermediate-System to Intermediate-System (ISIS) packets in the MCI public IP network.   
whitepaper Deploying Office Live Communications Server 2005 and Office Communicator 2005 at Microsoft2006-11-08 01:00:18 Microsoft
  The Microsoft IT deployment of Live Communications Server 2005 Enterprise Edition serves a dual purpose: testing of the product in a large, real-life enterprise environment with more than 80,000 accounts; and providing Microsoft employees with real-time communication features such as presence and instant messaging. Deploying Live Communications Server 2005 can decrease costs in an organization by helping users communicate more efficiently and more securely - thereby increasing worker productivity - while minimizing the complexity of managing an instant messaging service. Live Communications Server 2005 also provides long-term value as a platform for applications and solutions (such as custom real-time communications, Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony applications and the Microsoft Office System) that use SIP to extend communications beyond instant messaging.   
whitepaper Tomorrow's SIP-Enabled Customer Interactions2006-07-13 03:46:30 Siemens
  In recent years, email and web interactions have been included in the routing mix, using common routing engines across media. However, these communications remained confined within their own 'Channel' - voice, email or web chat - and on their originating device. With converged second generation IP communication networks comes up with new standards such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). SIP enabled devices and applications have the potential to transform customer interactions and the way customer contact centers work. SIP brings a new flexible, user centric communication paradigm based on presence, rich content, collaboration and mobility. This new way of interacting will be less fragmented, and offer greater flexibility, efficiency and productivity for both customer and enterprise.   
whitepaper Integrating Presence and Location Services Using SIP2006-01-04 01:01:52 Hewlett-Packard
  In semi-nomadic professions such as medicine, practitioners move through office buildings carrying personal computing and communication devices. These practitioners make use of fixed computing and communication resources in the rooms they visit. Organizations have strong financial incentives to help their mobile professionals find each other, communicate effectively, and make efficient use of the infrastructure. The challenge is to provide the desired functionality in a cost-effective manner without requiring special hardware on the mobile devices. The authors' solution consists of a standards-based voice, video, and instant messaging communication system integrated with a location tracking system.   
whitepaper Enterprise SIP Trunking: Delivering on the Promise of SIP Networking2006-08-30 01:00:13 Avaya
  Converged networks have been evolving since their initial deployments, with simple Voice over IP transport services giving way to next-generation networks supporting intelligent multimedia communications. The focus of the enterprise has evolved as well, moving from simple cost savings towards embedding communications into business processes, improving worker productivity, and enhancing customer interactions. Yet even the most advanced enterprises have typically limited their IP Telephony deployments to their own intranets, and not across the public network. Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an open industry multi-media signaling standard loosely modeled after existing, mature standards like SMTP and HTTP. The openness of SIP allows carrier voice equipment to interoperate with enterprise voice equipment over an IP network.   
whitepaper EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 RFID Specification2006-01-25 01:01:34
  Approved by EPCglobal in December 2004, the Class 1 Gen 2 air interface protocol provides a number of enhancements that will help solidify the adoption of RFID in the UHF band. This paper provides a brief explanation of how Gen 2 improves on previous protocols and the expected impact of these benefits, which include: faster, more flexible read and write speed, higher reliability in tag counting, more robust performance of many readers in close proximity, enhanced security, extensibility to higher-function tags and systems.   
whitepaper Making the Business Case for IP Communications2005-11-03 01:00:03
  This white paper describes the factors to consider in developing a strategic and financial business case for Cisco IP Communications solutions. It covers the distinct value delivered by Cisco Systems for different IP Communications technologies and deployment scenarios. It also discusses the measurable, highly attractive financial returns and productivity benefits that businesses have gained from Cisco IP Communications solutions.   
whitepaper Better Enterprise Applications on Any Network: A New Era of Intelligent Communications2005-12-01 01:00:02
  Avaya Business Communications Applications, including telephony, contact center, unified communication, conferencing/collaboration, can be embedded within daily business processes. Business Communication Applications that are SIP compliant make this possible. SIP provides an industry-standard, interoperable protocol that can be leveraged to provide presence information across any form of communication. Individuals and presence-enabled applications can now know the real-time availability of the target person, how they are currently connected to the network, and the address of the endpoint through which they can be reached.   
whitepaper Typing One-to-One and One-to-Many Correspondences in Security Protocols2005-04-06 04:59:59 Lucent Technologies
  Both one-to-one and one-to-many correspondences between events, sometimes known as injective and non-injective agreements, respectively, are widely used to specify correctness properties of cryptographic protocols. This paper shows how to typecheck one-to-many correspondences. Applications include checking security protocols intended only to offer one-to-many guarantees, but also checking protocols that in fact offer stronger one-to-one guarantees, but via mechanisms, such as timestamps, beyond the scope of the type system.
