IT Analysis - The Mounting Address Problem | 2009-01-16 | Quocirca |
| There was time when every person had just one or two addresses associated with them-that of their home and, perhaps, place of work. The addresses specified in which building they lived or worked, on what street, the town it was located in and, for international purposes, the country. More recently, the growth in electronic networks has led to the number of such identifiers expanding. They are all now accustomed, for example, to having one or more email addresses. These don't specify necessarily to a person looking at or using the email address where that person is located, but those specifications are still required behind the scenes in order to route that email to the intended recipient.

Implementation of an On-Demand Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks | 2009-01-01 | University of Twente |
| This paper presents their experiences in implementing and validating the on-demand EYES Source Routing protocol (ESR) in a real Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) environment. ESR has a fast recovery mechanism relying on MAC layer feedback to overcome frequent network topology changes resulting from node mobility and unreliability. A geographically restricted directional flooding scheme reduces energy consumption in the route re-establishment. ESR is implemented in their WSN environment consisting of EYES sensor node prototypes using the Lightweight Medium Access Control protocol (LMAC) on top of the AmbientRT operating system. They describe the key design and implementation features of the protocol and report experiment results of ESR and Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector protocol (AODV), a conventional routing protocol for ad hoc networks.

HP ProCurve Networking Enables Voice Over Internet Protocol Deployment at Four Seasons Hotel | 2008-12-01 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts manage 79 hotels within cities and resorts in 33 countries worldwide. Whilst converting the historic buildings into one of Europe's most luxurious hotels, Four Seasons decided to incorporate a modern, secure networking infrastructure to provide guests with premium services and to increase staff efficiency. To cater for emerging technologies and aid business growth, a highly scalable solution was essential. They wanted an advanced Local Area Network (LAN) to support their Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solution, which required both wired and wireless telephony. They also needed to provide secure Internet access, CCTV security monitoring and video-on-demand via Internet Protocol Television (IPTV). To aid network management and tackle the hotel's wireless security concerns, Four Seasons implemented ProCurve Manager Plus (PCM+) and ProCurve Mobility Manager (PMM) software.

An Overview of the Cisco Unified IP Phone | 2008-08-22 | Cisco Systems |
| The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G and 7942G are full-feature telephones that provide voice communication over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. The Cisco Unified IP Phone functions much like a digital business phone, allowing one to place and receive phone calls and to access features such as mute, hold, transfer, speed dial, call forward, and more. In addition, because the phone is connected to data network, it offers enhanced IP telephony features, including access to network information and services, and customizeable features and services. The phone also supports security features that include file authentication, device authentication, signaling encryption, and media encryption.

IP-based Wireless Sensor Network for Asset Tracking and Management | 2008-08-03 | |
| This white paper gives an introduction of how to utilize Sensinode IP-based 6LoWPAN (Internet Protocol), wireless sensor and embedded networking technology in asset tracking and management. To monitor and manage enterprise assets is a huge task and has been basically impossible until today, at least on a large scale, in real-time and with low cost. New innovations and extended capabilities of low power wireless communication technology are the key factors enabling real-time asset tracking and management in almost any field and for any purpose.

Comparison of FTP and Signiant: An In-Depth Comparison of FTP With Methodologies From Signiant | 2008-06-18 | Signiant |
| FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used to perform file transfers over Internet Protocol (IP) networks such as the public Internet and corporate intranets. FTP is widely deployed and is widely accepted as a file transfer solution. However, are there downsides to using FTP for file transfers? This paper compares FTP with file transfer methodologies of Signiant's software applications and identifies the shortcomings of FTP that Signiant was designed to overcome.

IPv6: Why Move to the Next Generation of the Internet Protocol? | 2008-05-01 | Dell |
| The vast majority of networks today, including the Internet, are based on the Internet Protocol, version 4 (IPv4) protocol. Developed over 25 years ago, IPv4 is showing its age. Its 32-bit addressing cannot accommodate the explosive growth worldwide of network-connected devices, particularly in Asia and China. It is estimated that the world may run out of IP addresses as early as 2010-2013. Moreover, IPv4 was not designed with security in mind and its security solutions have not kept pace with the expanding requirements of IP-based networks. These deficiencies are addressed by IPv6. Dell is quickly moving to meet DoD requirements, as well as those of the customers in Asia and the rest of the world.

Taridium Case Study: T4G | 2007-10-17 | taridium |
| T4G Limited is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, the highest certification, with expertise in five different competencies: data management; custom development, advanced infrastructure; information worker and Microsoft Business Solutions (MBS). The company recognized that the success of their business required a new communications infrastructure that used VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and supported SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). Looking at an open source solution was a logical next step. Much time was spent researching solutions from vendors such as Fonality, Switchvox, and Digium's Asterisk Business Edition. Taridium's ipbx enterprise VoIP platform offered T4G all the advantages of an open standards solution with the reliability of non-stop hardware, 24x7 monitoring and software support.
