whitepaper COCOON: An Alternative Approach to End-Point Congestion Management0000-00-00 Alcatel-Lucent
  This paper proposes an alternate endpoint congestion management scheme, called COordinated COngestion cONtrol (COCOON). The basic idea is to identify and group connections that may traverse the same backbone link, to enable them to share congestion information, and to coordinate among them all the congestion avoidance/control activities. The size of a COCOON group can be dynamically adjusted so as to magnify the benefits of end-host congestion management. COCOON also allows a new connection to commerce with a congestion window that is large enough to catch up with other connections while not inducing congestion. Finally, COCOON takes into account non-responsive UDP connections and "Bundles" them into a virtual connection that is subject to TCP-like congestion control.

whitepaper Timed Spi-Calculus With Types for Secrecy and Authenticity0000-00-00 Alcatel-Lucent
  This paper presents a discretely timed spi-calculus. A primitive for key compromise allows to model key compromise attacks, thus going beyond the standard Dolev-Yao attacker model. A primitive for reading a global clock allows the authors to express protocols based on timestamps, which are common in practice. The authors accompany the timed spi-calculus with a type system, prove that well-typed protocols are robustly safe for secrecy and authenticity and present examples of well-typed protocols as well as an example where failure to typecheck reveals a (well-known) flaw.   
whitepaper SPACE: Secure Protocol for Address-Book Based Connection Establishment2006-11-13 Microsoft
  This paper presents SPACE an application-level protocol for secure automatic ad-hoc connection-establishment between two devices based on their address book entries. The protocol is based on the simple premise that if two people have each others contact details in their address books, they probably know and trust each other in some limited way and this can form a basis for a trust relationship between their devices, without additional user intervention. This paper shows how the protocol is resistant to specific security attacks and can accommodate for privacy concerns. Existing connection-establishment protocols for Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11 have known security flaws, and can be compromised using well-known techniques and off-the-shelf hardware. In addition, these protocols require explicit user intervention, like entering a passkey.

whitepaper Connecting the JMS Transport Nodes for WebSphere Message Broker v6 to Popular JMS Providers2006-10-06 IBM
  Although the JMS infrastructures used in this paper is set-up from scratch it is easy to see how WebSphere Message Broker can be connected to an existing JMS implementation. Little work is needed to make the connection and it opens up a wide variety of new message processing capabilities. Although the message processing performed in the message flows was simple in nature this was just for the purposes of illustration, to show how to get a message into and out of WebSphere Message Broker. Once the message has been read in, the many transformation, routing and enrichment facilities become available for little additional work. One can also use the WebSphere Message Broker JMS nodes in a variety of ways.

whitepaper Oracle Application Server 10g: Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) - Overview of Oracle HTTP Server2006-10-01 Oracle
  Oracle Application Server 10g is a fully featured application server consisting of a very large number of sub-products. Nearly all of these sub-products depend on the HTTP server since HTTP is the dominant protocol in which Application Servers communicate to outside entities. The Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) provides key infrastructure for serving the Internet's HTTP protocol. OHS is used to return responses for both Process-to-Process and human generated requests from browsers. Key aspects of OHS are its technology, its serving of both static and dynamic content and its integration with both Oracle and non-Oracle products.

whitepaper IBM System i IP Telephony: Keeping You Connected2006-10-01 IBM
  Few calls still inspire such excitement for those who receive them. Nor are all callers as effective as Bell in reaching exactly the person they need with only one phone call. A customer seeking technical expertise among a chain of suppliers that spans multiple time zones is now likely to be bounced from region to region until being told, "Call back tomorrow." A potential customer calling a local branch to inquire about customizing a financial service can be passed from department to department until hearing, "Leave a message at the tone." Calling doesn't have to be that way - not for one and not for the customers. Internet Protocol (IP) telephony solutions on IBM System i can make it different.

whitepaper Domain Name System Client Behavior in Windows Vista2006-09-18 Microsoft
  Microsoft Windows Vista includes both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) protocol stacks that are installed and enabled by default. Domain Name System (DNS) name queries and registrations can now involve both IPv4 address records (A records) and IPv6 address records (AAAA records). This paper describes the behavior of the DNS Client service in Windows Vista for DNS queries and registrations and the possible impact on DNS traffic.

whitepaper Multi-path Routing Protocols in Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: A Quantitative Comparison2006-09-18 Springer Science+Business Media
  Multi-path routing represents a promising routing method for wireless mobile ad hoc networks. Multi-path routing achieves load balancing and is more resilient to route failures. Recently, numerous multi-path routing protocols have been proposed for wireless mobile ad hoc networks. Performance evaluations of these protocols showed that they achieve lower routing overhead, lower end-to-end delay and alleviate congestion in comparison with single path routing protocols. However, a quantitative comparison of multi-path routing protocols has not yet been conducted. This paper presents the results of a detailed simulation study of three multi-path routing protocols (SMR, AOMDV and AODV_Multipath) obtained with the ns-2 simulator.

whitepaper Virtual Ring Routing: Network Routing Inspired by DHTs2006-09-15 Association for Computing Machinery
  This paper presents Virtual Ring Routing (VRR), a new network routing protocol that occupies a unique point in the design space. VRR is inspired by overlay routing algorithms in Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) but it does not rely on an underlying network routing protocol. It is implemented directly on top of the link layer. VRR provides both traditional point-to-point network routing and DHT routing to the node responsible for a hash table key. VRR can be used with any link layer technology but this paper describes a design and several implementations of VRR that are tuned for wireless networks. The paper evaluates the performance of VRR using simulations and measurements from a sensor network and an 802.11a testbed.
