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 IPv6 - The Road Ahead2006-08-01 Alcatel-Lucent
  IPv6 is gaining momentum worldwide, driven by the need for more IP addresses than IPv4 can provide. This is particularly true in Asia where shortage of IPv4 address is more evident and the strategic importance of IPv6 is promoted by the governments. Indeed, even the US Government is getting on board with IPv6, with the DoD mandating upgrade by 2008 and other government organs likely to do the same. The adoption of IPv6 creates an opportunity for Lucent Technologies to provide additional solutions for existing customers as well as opening the doors to new customers as well. This paper describes Lucent's 3 phase plan to meet customer demand for IPv6 support.

whitepaper Optimizing Voice-Over-IP Speech Quality Using Path Diversity2006-06-30 McGill University
  In last few years, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has been gaining popularity as an alternative to traditional telephone by transmitting voice signals as packets over the Internet and private IP-based networks. However, voice packets experience loss, delay, and delay variation, which require buffering, playout scheduling and loss concealment at the receiver. This paper gives an overview of a VoIP application and shows how playout scheduling and loss concealment are jointly used to optimize perceived speech quality. The paper uses this optimization criterion to design a histogram-based playout scheduling algorithm. Then, it identifies the limitations of the VoIP application for this scheme and proposes improvement using path diversity approach that can be implemented via a Service Overlay Network (SON).

whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Network Isolation Using Group Policy and IPsec (Part 1 of 3) (Level 200)0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Data isolation: How can it make the IT infrastructure safer, and how does one use Group Policy and Internet Protocol security (IPsec) to implement it? This three-part webcast provides an answer. The first part provides an overview of the nature of IPsec. The second part continues the discussion with a look at how to use IPsec to create network isolation zones.

whitepaper Managing EMC Clariion With SNMP2006-06-01 EMC
  EMC Clariion storage systems provide several ways to use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for discovery and monitoring. Navisphere provides a foundation for management of Clariion storage systems. However, some customers have complex environments where there is a mixture of different information systems from multiple manufacturers. Those customers may complement the use of Navisphere with network management protocols such as SNMP and general management systems such as framework applications. The purpose of this paper is to describe in some detail how SNMP can be used in a Clariion environment.

whitepaper A Content Classification and Filtering Server for the Internet2006-04-23 Association for Computing Machinery
  The amazing growth of the Web in recent years, which includes content inappropriate for some classes of users, has gone hand in hand with increasingly sophisticated mobile access devices (e.g., cell phones). In this context, a major challenge is the dynamic adaptation of content, which allows these devices to access any given content independently of its original format, allied to a number of added value services such as virus scanning, language translation and content filtering. This paper proposes and implements a content classification and filtering server inserted into a content adaptation architecture based on the Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP).

whitepaper Covert Channels in Internet Protocols: A Survey2006-03-31 University of St Andrews
  The creation of covert channels in public computer networks can prove an effective means of information hiding and secret communication. With the widespread adoption of the Internet the TCP/IP suite of protocols have become pervasive, and therefore an attractive target for covert channel exploitation. This paper gives a brief overview of covert channels in communication networks, and presents a brief survey of some recent and relevant papers on the use of covert channels in the common Internet protocols.

whitepaper A Performance Comparison of Routing Protocols for Large-Scale Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks2006-03-31 University of California
  It is commonly known to the wireless research community that efficient routing algorithms can provide significant benefits in ad hoc networks, including larger throughput, lower average end-to-end delay, fewer lost data packets and generally an improved network performance. Many routing protocols for such networks have been proposed so far, the most popular of which are the Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR), the Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol (AODV), the Temporally-Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA) and the Location-Aided Routing protocol (LAR). This paper presents some results, derived from the extended simulations that we performed, in order to compare the efficiency of the above four protocols.
