whitepaper Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Network Protocols and Evaluation With Model Checking2007-02-28 Harvard University
  A Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) is a wireless network set up temporarily without a wired infrastructure (routers, switches, servers, cables, access points, etc.). The wireless nodes in a MANET may move around and each one of them may need to forward packets for other components in the network. Because they can be deployed quickly, MANETs could be used for disaster rescue, battle field communication, sensor networks, etc. this paper focuses on investigating the specific properties that a wireless routing protocol needs to satisfy, evaluating existing wireless routing protocols with model checking, and designing better protocols.

whitepaper Implementing Real Time Port Scan Detection for the IP Backbone2007-02-06 Sprint
  Port scanning is prevalent in today's Internet and often has malicious intent. Although many algorithms have been proposed for different aspects of the scan detection problem, the paper has seen few system discussions in the literature. Furthermore, the few existing systems are designed for enterprise gateway level Intrusion Detection. Targeting the IP backbone, the paper puts all the pieces together in an implementation of an online port scan detecting and tracking system for high speed networks. The paper introduces the flexible architecture, discusses trade-offs and design choices. Specifically, it goes in depth to two design choices: the probabilistic counter selection and the buffer size tuning. The choice of a simple counter is validated through an empirical analysis of trace simulation.

whitepaper Federal Agencies and the Transition to IPv62007-02-01 Cisco Systems
  Although migrating from IPv4 to IPv6 may be strategically and technically challenging, many organizations are actually more prepared to begin the transition than they may realize: much of the current IPv4 infrastructure is IPv6 capable, and approximately one third of the deployed desktop systems are IPv6 capable. Additionally, a key part of the IPv6 design is its ability to integrate into and coexist with existing IPv4 networks, which means that - as anticipated - IPv4 can and will coexist for the foreseeable future. This white paper introduces several specific transition mechanisms and campus designs that can help federal agencies with the planning process.

whitepaper Anywhere. Anything. Anyone. Any Time.: Identifying Opportunities for Top-Line Revenue Growth, Competitive Advantage, and Bottom-Line Cost Savings2007-02-01 Unisys
  Ground-breaking quality metrics, including Total Quality Management (TQM), Business Activity Monitoring (BAM), Balanced Scorecards, Six Sigma, and the Malcolm Bridge Quality System, have helped companies and industries move toward more effective, efficient, and valuable business systems. However, even those enterprises with the most progressive use of quality management frameworks are constrained by the technologies at their disposal and their own opinions regarding the value of these innovations. And, both of these factors shape their implementation models and consumption of new services.

whitepaper Distributed Network Architecture for WiMAX: Digital, Converged, Mobile IP World2007-02-01 Motorola
  With a distributed WiMAX network architecture, the WiMAX system simply becomes an extension of the IP network to the mobile user. Leveraging simple IP-based backhaul connections, service providers can very readily service a myriad of WiMAX base sites (e.g. large, medium, sectorized, omni, micro, pico) for varying coverage and capacity profiles addressing outside environments, inside buildings, fixed and fully mobile connections. Service Providers will very simply grow their networks based on system usage leveraging standard IP components. A distributed WiMAX network architecture can be significantly lighter and easier to install than traditional cellular based network designs and can substantially reduce capital and operational expenses.

whitepaper Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch IP Transfer Point Non-Stop Operation Feature Module2007-01-23 Cisco Systems
  The IP Transfer Point (ITP) Non-Stop Operation (NSO) feature enhances the current ITP high availability support on the Cisco 7500 platform to ensure that an ITP running on a Cisco 7500 router continues to operate with no outages in the event of a Route/Switch Processor (RSP) failure. The NSO feature supports two Signaling Gateway Platforms (SGPs) per Signaling Gateway (SG) in a Signaling Gateway Group (SG-grp) for mated Signal Transfer Points (STPs). This feature also enhances the IP layer implementation on the Versatile Interface Processor (VIP) cards for handling complex routing to remote destinations using either static routes or a routing protocol. With this additional capability, the ITP provides VIP redundancy in addition to platform and RSP redundancy.

whitepaper Hardware Management Console External Connectivity Security for IBM POWER Processor-Based Systems2007-01-12 IBM
  This paper describes data that is exchanged between the Hardware Management Console (HMC) and the IBM Service Delivery Center (SDC) and the methods and protocols for this exchange. All the functionality that is described in the paper refers to HMC version V6.1.0 and later. The HMC uses various methods for communicating back to IBM to match different client environments.

whitepaper Practical IPv6 Deployment for Printing and Imaging Devices2007-01-04 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Although the transition to IPv6 has been slow, recent activity by the United States government and the relatively rapid adoption of IPv6 by Asian countries has sparked a surge in IPv6 spending and deployments. HP has been not only monitoring the IPv6 transitions but is also actively participating in them by providing printing and imaging products which enable the customers to successfully embrace IPv6.

whitepaper A Quick Look at IPv6 and IPSec Protocols2007-01-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Hewlett-Packard uses a variety of security standards and recommended protocols to ensure that the LaserJet printers and MFPs are capable of serving as active components of the organization's security plan. This paper explains about two such protocols: IPv6 and IPSec. IPv6 is a network layer Internet Protocol (IP) standard used by electronic devices to exchange data across a packet-switched internetwork. IPSec is short for Internet Protocol Security, a set of protocols designed to support secure exchange of packets at the network IP layer.

whitepaper Cisco IPv6 Solutions2007-01-01 Cisco Systems
  The continuous growth of the global Internet requires that its overall architecture evolve to accommodate the new technologies that support the growing numbers of users, applications, appliances, and services. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is designed to meet these requirements and enable a global environment where the addressing rules of the network are again transparent to the applications. This paper describes the Cisco position and details current and future IPv6 support across Cisco strategic product families.
