whitepaper IPv6 - The Road Ahead2006-08-01 Alcatel-Lucent
  IPv6 is gaining momentum worldwide, driven by the need for more IP addresses than IPv4 can provide. This is particularly true in Asia where shortage of IPv4 address is more evident and the strategic importance of IPv6 is promoted by the governments. Indeed, even the US Government is getting on board with IPv6, with the DoD mandating upgrade by 2008 and other government organs likely to do the same. The adoption of IPv6 creates an opportunity for Lucent Technologies to provide additional solutions for existing customers as well as opening the doors to new customers as well. This paper describes Lucent's 3 phase plan to meet customer demand for IPv6 support.

whitepaper AuthIP in Windows Vista2006-08-01 Microsoft
  To simplify Internet Protocol security (IPsec) deployment, Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows Server Code Name "Longhorn" (now in beta testing) support an enhanced version of the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol known as Authenticated Internet Protocol (AuthIP). AuthIP provides simplified IPsec policy configuration and maintenance in many configurations and additional flexibility for IPsec peer authentication.

whitepaper Migrating an Enterprise WAN From ATM to IP2006-08-01 Intel
  Lately, the telecommunications industry has deemphasized ATM in favor of IP. Providers are rapidly building IP infrastructure and offering lower-cost IP services. To take advantage of this industry shift, Intel engineers developed an architecture design and a phased migration plan to collapse their ATM network into an IP infrastructure while making the transition transparent to the users. Intel IT is undertaking a major WAN migration, moving their global network from Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) to Internet protocol (IP). This aligns the WAN technology direction with the telecommunications industry, ensuring that the network can support new services and future traffic growth, and helping Intel take advantage of low-cost bandwidth from telecommunications providers.

whitepaper 4CP: Competitive and Considerate Congestion Control Protocol2006-08-01 Microsoft
  This paper presents a first practical packet-level window-based congestion controller (4CP) that implements farsighted strategy, which was introduced and shown to be optimal for sources that value large long-run average throughput and are indifferent to sporadic throughput degradations. The target loss probability is adapted very slowly so that the 4CP source verifies a given (TCP) loss-throughput formula over large timescale. The send rate is reduced to (virtually) zero in a controlled manner only during bad congestion phases, and not under full control of other (TCP) transfers, as it is the case with prior low-priority service emulators.

whitepaper Oversized Subnet and Shared NAT: A Practical Approach to Keep Private and Public IP Addresses Together2006-08-01 Seoul National University
  The growth of IPv4 Internet has been facing the infamous IP address depletion barrier. In practice, many IPv4 Internet edge networks are forced to be expanded by incorporating private addresses and NAT devices. In this paper, major limitations of NAT-expanded private networks are identified. Furthermore, a solution is proposed to encourage the mixed usage of private and public IP addresses in a single edge network domain. The solution comprises of two key ideas: oversized subnet and shared NAT. The oversized subnet removes the routing boundary between private and public hosts. Shared NAT saves public IP address resources by sharing them among several private networks. These ideas not only encourage the coexistence of heterogeneous address classes, but also lead to efficient sharing of global IP addresses.

whitepaper Cisco's CRM Communications Connector Gives Employees Secure, Reliable, and Convenient Access to Customer Information0000-00-00 Cisco Systems
  In early 2004, Coleman Technologies, Inc. (CTI), a Cisco Systems Gold Partner with IP Telephony Specialization, beta tested the Communications Connector by implementing it, with CallManager, throughout their organization. CTI was already using Microsoft's CRM, so when Cisco called and ask them to beta test the new Communications Connector Connector, they immediately saw its potential. When a customer calls CTI, their caller ID is registered through Communication Connector and CallManager, which immediately provides an online pop-up of their profile on the account manager's screen, displaying every aspect of their current and past product, sales and accounts relationship.

whitepaper Scaling IP Routing With the Core Router-Integrated Overlay2006-07-18 Cornell University
  IP routing scalability is based on hierarchical routing, which requires that the IP address hierarchy be aligned with the physical topology. Both site multi-homing and switching ISPs without renumbering break this alignment, resulting in large routing tables. This paper presents CRIO: a new approach to IP scalability for both global and VPN routing. Using tunneling and virtual prefixes, CRIO decouples address hierarchy and physical topology, effectively giving ISPs the ability to trade-off routing table size for path length. Though CRIO is a new routing architecture, it works with existing data-plane router mechanisms.

whitepaper Performance Management of Metro Ethernet Services2006-07-06 InfoVista
  As more and more forms of communication are migrated to Enterprise and consumer networks (voice, video, database access, data storage, imagery, real-time applications) the demand for bandwidth is accelerating. Metro Ethernet offers the highest speed and lowest price-per-bit to date, making it a great opportunity to service providers and their customers to meet that growing demand. But Metro Ethernet performance is not as certain as it is for ATM and Frame Relay. This paper discusses the challenges of Metro Ethernet performance and how it must be continuously supervised by service-centric performance management to ensure business success.
