whitepaper Opportunistic Measurement: Extracting Insight From Spurious Traffic0000-00-00 Stanford University
  While network measurement techniques are continually improving, representative network measurements are increasingly scarce. The issue is fundamentally one of access: either the points of interest are hidden, are unwilling, or are sufficiently much that representative analysis is daunting if not unattainable. In particular, much of the Internet's modern growth, in both size and complexity, is "Protected" by NAT and firewall technologies that preclude the use of traditional measurement techniques. Thus, while it can see the shrinking visible portion of the Internet with ever-greater fidelity, the majority of the Internet remains invisible. This paper argues for a new approach to illuminate these hidden regions of the Internet: opportunistic measurement that leverages sources of "Spurious" network traffic such as worms, misconfigurations, spam floods, and malicious automated scans.   
whitepaper Setting Realistic Expectations about Exchange 2007 Unified Communications2007-06-01 Adomo
  Microsoft Exchange 2007 promises a number of Unified Communications (UC) capabilities for enhancing user productivity. However, a full-scale implementation of Exchange 2007 UC is rife with pitfalls and requires critical decisions that can impact its reliability, network topology, and supportability.

To learn what to expect of a real-world implementation of Exchange 2007 UC, download this white paper from Adomo. It addresses these key topics and more:
  • The architectural challenges of Unified Communications
  • The limitations of Exchange 2007 in supporting Unified Communications
  • What to consider before migrating to Unified Communications

whitepaper Cisco Enhanced Home Agent2007-06-01 Cisco Systems
  The Cisco Enhanced Home Agent is the anchor point for mobile terminals for which mobile or proxy mobile services are provided across many access technologies. It routes all traffic sent to the terminal, providing a unique point for billing services. The Cisco Enhanced Home Agent gives mobile operators the flexibility to create a differentiated billing model through the creation of services that are individually accounted for on either a postpaid or prepaid basis per subscriber. The Cisco Enhanced Home Agent brings value to all network access types. It is a standards-based product that provides seamless connectivity and value-added services.

whitepaper Efficient Authentication for Reactive Routing Protocols0000-00-00 French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control
  Ad hoc networks are dynamic networks formed "On the fly" by a set of nodes. Achieving secure routing in such networks is a big challenge. Asymmetric signature schemes provide mechanisms for authentication, but may result in inefficient implementations, specially when a large number of nodes are expected. Some of these efficiency problems can be mitigated with the use of aggregate signatures, which reduce the space and computations required for managing many different signatures. This paper formalizes a new concept, aggregate designated verifier signature schemes, which is suitable for authentication of routes in reactive protocols. This paper proposes a specific and efficient scheme with provable security in the random oracle model.

whitepaper Managing 21st Century Networks2007-05-21 Quocirca
  Arguably IP is the most successful open standard ever, but as network communications converge under a single standard used for an increasing number of applications, we need to understand how effectively these critical assets are being managed.

whitepaper Five Building Blocks to Optimize Your Enterprise Network2007-05-17 Nortel Networks
  Rather than talking about how many subscribers are on the network, one needs to increasingly address how many devices are connected to the network. One is moving toward an era where anything that can be connected to the network will be connected. One is rapidly approaching the state where the number of network connections will exceed the number of people using them. It is called the state of Hyperconnectivity. Bandwidth and traffic control needs will reach staggering proportions due to ever-increasing data, voice and video applications. Every device that is added to the network amplifies the need for strong network security. And as the number of connected devices increases, an "Always-on" network becomes paramount.

whitepaper IPv6 Business Applications2007-05-14 Cisco Systems
  IPv6 technology can provide many advantages for public agencies, including improved routing capabilities and enhanced mobility features for wireless use. IPv6 can give civilian agencies the capability to significantly improve their operations and services. The protocol can also enable the military to carry out its vision of network-centric warfare. In peacetime, IPv6 can also help government agencies to reduce expenses, speed response time in disasters, promote safer and more environmentally sound living, and aid in humanitarian efforts.

whitepaper IBM Tivoli and Vallent: Enhanced Service Quality and Performance Management Solutions for Communications Service Providers2007-05-01 IBM
  Service providers in the communications industry now face an unprecedented set of opportunities and challenges. They seek to deliver innovative services that hold the promise of building strong, new revenue streams. At the same time, they must respond to accelerating price pressure and increasing competition in their traditional markets. To stay competitive, today's communications service providers need to develop end-to-end service management solutions across complex, multitechnology, multivendor infrastructures. These solutions must support ongoing service innovation while at the same time driving down costs, enhancing customer retention and supporting revenue growth.

whitepaper Self Hosting: Is It the Future?2007-04-27 Infinishare Technologies
  Technical innovation coupled with better and cheaper infrastructure now makes it feasible for individuals to directly web-host from PCs in their homes and offices. There are no limits to what or how much they can host. A greater adoption of technologies such as Purplenova would not only make available a much larger amount of content on the web, but also free it from limitations imposed by intermediaries.

whitepaper Self-Management of Lambda-Connections in Optical Networks2007-04-20 Springer Science+Business Media
  This paper presents a new idea for the management of lambda-connections in optical networks. The idea consists of making multi-service optical switches responsible for automatically detecting IP flows at the packet-level, creating lambda-connections for them, and moving them to the optical-level. In addition to that, they are also in charge of tearing down the connections when no longer needed.
