whitepaper ISP and Egress Path Selection for Multihomed Networks2007-01-01 Georgia Institute of Technology
  Multihoming has been used by stub networks for several years as a form of redundancy, improving the availability of Internet access. More recently, Intelligent Route Control (IRC) products allow multihomed networks to dynamically switch parts of their egress or ingress traffic between ISPs, also improving cost and performance. IRC products assume that the set of upstream ISPs is given and fixed. Typically, however, a multihomed network has several ISP choices and the actual selection of ISPs can significantly affect cost, availability, and performance.

whitepaper Why Do ISPs Need LDAP?2007-01-01 Isode
  LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a widely used Internet Standard Protocol for accessing a directory. LDAP also defines the "Information model" of the directory being accessed. This white paper looks at why an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or Mobile Provider would want to use LDAP and the benefits to an ISP of holding customer account information in an LDAP Directory.

whitepaper Detecting DDoS Attacks on ISP Networks2007-01-01 Carnegie Mellon University
  Most past solutions for detecting denial of service attacks (and identifying the perpetrators) have targeted end-node victims. However, little attention has been given to this problem from an ISP perspective. This paper explores the key challenges involved in helping an ISP network detect attacks on itself or attacks on external sites which use the ISP network. This paper proposes a detection mechanism where each router detects traffic anamolies using profiles of normal traffic constructed using stream sampling algorithms. In addition, an ISP's routers exchange information with each other to increase confidence in their detection decisions.

whitepaper How to Survive as an MSSP2006-12-01 ExaProtect
  Advances in remote communication technology and reliability (for example: Internet, VPNs, VoIP, QoS), coupled with the growing political and commercial access to technically-literate developing countries, allow larger and more aggressive providers to dramatically reduce their operational costs through off-shoring. Thus, Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) will find themselves increasingly competing against multi-national players offering global, yet centralised, delivery of their services. Virtualisation technologies, coupled with improvements in processor performance, and reductions in memory and storage costs, reduce "Per customer costs" at an exponential level that favours the larger providers.

whitepaper Economics of Network Pricing With Multiple ISPs2006-12-01 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  This paper examines how transit and customer prices and quality of service are set in a network consisting of multiple ISPs. Some ISPs may face an identical set of circumstances in terms of potential customer pool and running costs. This paper examines the existence of equilibrium strategies in this situation and show how positive profit can be achieved using threat strategies with multiple qualities of service. It is shown that if the number of ISPs competing for the same customers is large then it can lead to price wars. ISPs that are not co-located may not directly compete for users, but are nevertheless involved in a non-cooperative game of setting access and transit prices for each other.

whitepaper Set Up Your Internet E-mail Account to Work With Outlook0000-00-00 Microsoft
  If a person has set up an e-mail account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and now wants to start using Outlook to send and receive messages, where to start? It's a snap. The ISP gave all the information needed to specify the details of the account. As long as a person has the information at hand when he or she begins, setting up the Outlook e-mail account is quick and easy. This webcast shows how it's done.

whitepaper Cisco Dynamic Flow Control Solution2006-10-01 Cisco Systems
  Cisco Dynamic Flow Control (DFC) is a service-control engineering solution for service providers that focus on real-time bandwidth allocation for shaping end-user traffic. The solution enables new "Connected Life" services, while ensuring quality of experience for subscribers. DFC extends the availability of the network's most valuable resource - its bandwidth capacity. The infrastructure of the DFC solution includes PacketCable Multimedia (PCMM) technology in conjunction with Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), both of which are needed to deliver bandwidth-controlled services to the end user. This paper describes a solution that enables service providers to offer differentiated services to subscribers based on client applications in use today, as well as in the future.

whitepaper Video Internet: The Next Wave of Massive Disruption to the U.S. Peering Ecosystem2006-09-29 Equinix
  In previous research the authors documented three significant disruptions to the U.S. Peering Ecosystem as the Cable Companies, Large Scale Network Savvy Content Companies, and Tier 2 ISPs started peering openly. By peering with directly each other they effectively bypassed the Tier 1 ISPs resulting in improved performance, greater control over the end-user experience, and overall lower operating costs. This paper predicts a new wave of disruption that potentially dwarfs currently peered Internet traffic. Some of this emerging wave of Video Traffic is demonstrating viral properties, so the more popular videos are generating massive "Flash Crowd" effects.

whitepaper Enterprise Networking Value: Service Provider Managed Solutions2006-07-17 Nortel Networks
  Service Provider Managed Solutions facilitate application-oriented and/or multi-protocol transport over the MAN or WAN utilizing an optical service which is monitored and maintained by a network operator. Originally used for service provider voice networks, optical networking technology is rapidly expanding to business end users. Enterprises now consider these services the transport medium of choice for their mission-critical networks, including those used for storage, data center connectivity, campus and metro-area networking; especially for applications that require low latency and high bandwidth, such as videoconferencing and synchronous storage replication. These services allow an enterprise to leverage a service provider's extensive experience in fiber optics and can easily and cost-effectively deliver the benefits of optical networking through a comprehensive portfolio of managed optical services.
