whitepaper An Anonymous on Demand Routing Protocol With Untraceable Routes for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks0000-00-00 University of California
  In hostile environments, the enemy can launch traffic analysis against interceptable routing information embedded in routing messages and data packets. Allowing adversaries to trace network routes and infer the motion pattern of nodes at the end of those routes may pose a serious threat to covert operations. This paper proposes ANODR, an Anonymous On-demand Routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks deployed in hostile environments. The paper addresses two closely-related problems: For route anonymity, ANODR prevents strong adversaries from tracing a packet flow back to its source or destination; for location privacy, ANODR ensures that adversaries cannot discover the real identities of local transmitters.

whitepaper Route Fragility: A Novel Metric for Route Selection in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks0000-00-00 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
  A key factor deciding the performance of a routing protocol in mobile ad hoc networks is the manner in which it adapts to route changes caused by mobility. Exploiting the intuition that a less dynamic route lasts longer, this paper proposes a new metric, the Route Fragility Coefficient (RFC), to compare routes. RFC estimates the rate at which a given route expands or contracts. Expansion refers to adjacent nodes moving apart, while contraction refers to their moving closer. RFC combines the individual link contraction or expansion behavior to present a unified picture of the route dynamics. The paper demonstrates that lower the value of RFC, more static (less fragile) the route.

whitepaper Self-Configurable Key Pre-Distribution in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks0000-00-00 University of California
  This paper presents two new schemes that, in the absence of a centralized support, allow a pair of nodes of a mobile ad hoc network to compute a shared key without communicating. Such a service is important to secure routing protocols. The schemes are built using the well-known technique of threshold secret sharing and are secure against a collusion of up to a certain number of nodes. The paper evaluates and compares the performance of both the schemes in terms of the node admission and pairwise key establishment costs.

whitepaper An Inter-Domain Routing Protocol for Multi-Homed Wireless Mesh Networks0000-00-00 Johns Hopkins University
  This paper presents a routing protocol for multi-homed wireless mesh networks that provide uninterrupted connectivity and fast handoff. The authors approach integrates wireless and wired connectivity, using multicast groups to coordinate decisions and seamlessly transfer connections between several Internet gateways as mobile clients move between access points. The protocol optimizes the use of the wireless medium by short-cutting wireless hops through wired connections, paying a very low overhead during handoffs. The paper demonstrates that inter-domain handoffs occur instantaneously, with virtually no loss or delay, for both TCP and UDP connections.

whitepaper Cisco IPICS Enhances Safety and Security at Cisco2007-08-01 Cisco Systems
  Cisco campus in San Jose reaches up to 20,000 people per day. They wanted to manage on-premise emergency response and day-to-day safety and security operations as well as enable location-independent dispatch and collaboration across security operations centers. The challenge was to reduce costs of maintaining dedicated leased lines to Cisco sites for radio communications. Cisco campus deployed Cisco Internet Protocol Interoperability and Collaboration System (IPICS) solutions. This resulted in more rapid response to emergencies, reduced costs of maintaining radio infrastructure and there was better situational awareness from responders, management, and key executives during crisis situations.

whitepaper A Shoelace-Based QoS Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using Directional Antenna2007-08-01 National Chung Cheng University
  This paper proposes a new QoS routing protocol for Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) using directional antenna. The scheme offers a bandwidth-based routing protocol for QoS support in MANET using the concept of multi-path. The MAC sub-layer adopts the CDMA-over-TDMA channel model. The QoS on-demand routing protocol determines the end-to-end bandwidth calculation and bandwidth allocation from a source node to a destination node. The paths are combined with multiple cross links, called as shoelace, when the network bandwidth is strictly limited. Due to the directional antenna property, these cross links can simultaneously transmit data without any data interference.

whitepaper HTTP Traffic Modeling: Development and Application0000-00-00 Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
  This paper proposes a new HTTP model, which is based on the concept of aggregated behavior and presents two main advantages: small number of parameters and easy and precise load control. The development and features of the model are detailed. The procedures for evaluation of the model properties are also shown. Examples of the model utilization are shown and results are presented and discussed. This paper presents a new HTTP traffic model based on the aggregation concept. The model development, evaluation and application are shown. In addition to the basic HTTP traffic characteristics, the traffic model has an easy and accurate load control.

whitepaper Well Beyond Streaming Video: IPv6 and the Next Generation Television2007-06-12 Newcastle University
  The Internet has provided a plethora of commercial opportunities, the majority of them arising from advances in software and networking. As the technology evolves in an ever increasing pace, new opportunities are bound to be created. This paper examines how one of these technologies, the 6th version of the Internet Protocol, may affect the Internet and the opportunities associated with it, by looking at one specific emerging application: Internet Television (IPTv). In particular, the paper examines the possible impact and implications of multicasting on television broadcasts.

whitepaper Contention-Aware Analysis of Routing Schemes for Mobile Opportunistic Networks2007-06-11 Association for Computing Machinery
  A large body of work has theoretically analyzed the performance of routing schemes for mobile opportunistic networks. But a vast majority of these prior studies have ignored wireless contention. This paper analyzes the performance of routing schemes under contention. To model contention the paper uses the recently-proposed analytical framework which is applicable to any multi-hop wireless network. Then, it takes into consideration the special characteristics of mobile opportunistic networks and computes the delays for four representative routing schemes for these networks.

whitepaper An Efficient Group Key Agreement Protocol for Ad Hoc Networks0000-00-00 French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control
  A Group Key Agreement (GKA) protocol is a mechanism to establish a cryptographic key for a group of participants, based on each one's contribution, over a public network. The key, thus derived, can be used to establish a secure channel between the participants. When the group composition changes (or otherwise), one can employ supplementary GKA protocols to derive a new key. Thus, they are well-suited to the key establishment needs of dynamic peer-to-peer networks as in ad hoc networks. While many of the proposed GKA protocols are too expensive to be employed by the constrained devices often present in ad hoc networks, others lack a formal security analysis. This paper presents a simple, secure and efficient GKA protocol well suited to dynamic ad hoc networks.
