whitepaper Behind the Scenes of the First All-IP Converged Network for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games2007-06-25 Nortel Networks
  Bell Canada is delivering the first all-IP converged network at a Winter Games. In selecting partners, Bell Canada and VANOC were looking for a high degree of commitment and proven capabilities in designing and deploying some of the world's most reliable and robust converged communications networks. They found those characteristics with Nortel. The Games are about excellence in performance. The Vancouver 2010 Winter Games will have the most technologically advanced network in the history of the Olympics and Paralympics.

whitepaper Enabling Service Innovation: Maximizing Assets and Revenue in a Changing Network Environment2007-06-15 Stratecast
  Telecommunications technologies and network architectures are constantly changing. This means that Telecommunications Service Provider (TSP) executives must make business decisions about products, services and markets against a moving target of network technologies and business and service strategies. In this unstable environment, strategic decisions are therefore often made without knowing how these changes will affect future revenues, costs and margins. At the same time that these technology changes are taking place, additional complexity is introduced by the fact that proprietary, hardware-based, network-centric solutions are moving towards software-based, services-centric solutions. To address these issues, service providers are looking to IT principles and next-generation architectural models and standards like Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), and Service Delivery Platforms (SDPs).

whitepaper How DNS Misnaming Distorts Internet Topology Mapping0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Network researchers commonly use reverse DNS lookups of router names to provide geographic or topological information that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. By systematically examining a large ISP, the paper finds that some of these names are incorrect. This paper develops techniques to automatically identify these misnamings, and determine the actual locations, which it validates against the configuration of the ISP's routers. While the actual number of misnamings is small, these errors induce a large number of false links in the inferred connectivity graph. The paper also measures the effects on path inflation, and finds that the misnamings make path inflation and routing problems appear much worse than they actually are.   
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 HP Helps Broadband Provider MVB Offer "Triple Play" Services Over High-Speed Network2007-05-22 Cisco Systems
  HP focuses on simplifying technology experiences for all of its customers - from individual consumers to the largest businesses. HP along with Cisco and MidtVest Bredbaand (MVB), a Denmark-based broadband provider introduced, to build a high-speed, fiber-to-the-home network for the delivery of advanced services such as video on demand and interactive TV to homes and businesses. Using the new network, MVB's Content Denmark subsidiary will deliver to more than 200,000 customers the so-called "Triple play" of Internet protocol (IP)-based services: Internet, digital TV and voice.
