In this paper, we propose Brownie, a system for improving performance by means of collaboration between already-existing NIDSs, instead of installing one expensive hardware or parallel NIDS at a network entry point. Our Brownie achieves performance improvement by 1) offloading overloaded NIDS, and 2) eliminating redundant rules. First, a Brownie exchanges NIDSs' load status and transfers some rules from overloaded to light-loaded NIDSs, which prevents the overloaded NIDSs from bottlenecking the network. Second, if some NIDSs in a network path enable the same rules, a Brownie eliminates the redundant rules, which reduces the aggregate overhead of the NIDSs. The experimental results with a university full-packet trace suggest that Brownies successfully offloads overloaded NIDS and eliminates redundant rules.","PeriodicalId":103090,"journal":{"name":"2009 Seventh Annual Communication Networks and Services Research Conference","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132626820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These variations prevent quality of service (QoS) from being delivered on CWMNs solely by using traditional mechanisms, i.e. call admission control, bandwidth reservation, queue management and packet scheduling. In [1] a quality of service protection (QoSP) architecture has been proposed which extends the failure protection mechanisms used in MPLS networks to protect QoS for CWMNs. This paper aims to provide solutions for the open QoSP-related issues: (1) a measure called effective capacity is defined and estimated to characterize the fluctuation in link capacity, (2) a policy is provided to reach decisions about path switching when QoS degradation happens and (3) a margin guard call admission control and an adaptive method to find suitable margin guards is proposed to keep the probability of successful path restoration above a predefined threshold.","PeriodicalId":103090,"journal":{"name":"2009 Seventh Annual Communication Networks and Services Research Conference","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133542958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike many previous energy-aware routing protocols, both of our presented algorithms consider total energy expenditure for guaranteed packet delivery. We use simulation to study their performance under a variety of network conditions. The simulation results show, firstly, that both schemes achieve significant improvement of energy balancing proportional to node density and, secondly, our proposed localized routing scheme achieves a performance comparable to the centralized scheme under dense networks.","PeriodicalId":103090,"journal":{"name":"2009 Seventh Annual Communication Networks and Services Research Conference","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124955804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These fibers, called photonic Crystal Fibers (PCF) have unusual propagation properties. This paper presents multicriteria PCF design tool, which is an accurate PCF design based on multicriteria classification. This method combines the deductive and the inductive learning and it is introduced for the first time in the field of optical fibers. The multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) makes it possible to evaluate the optical proprieties of PCFs by determining the resemblance of a PCF fiber to specified PCF category. The MCDA avoids recourse to classical distances and makes it possible to use quantitative and/or qualitative criteria. Moreover, it defeats some difficulties encountered when data are expressed in different units. These advantages allow the new multicriteria classification method to be employed easily to the diagnosis and to the design of photonic-crystals fibers.","PeriodicalId":103090,"journal":{"name":"2009 Seventh Annual Communication Networks and Services Research Conference","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123976938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CFO destroys the orthogonality of the subcarriers and introduces intercarrier interference (ICI), reducing the system performance. Previously, tone reservation (TR) was considered for reducing the peak interference-to-carrier ratio (PICR) and shown to provide significant PICR reduction. In this paper, we use submatrices of the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) and fast Fourier transform (FFT) to reduce the number of variables in the optimization to efficiently compute the optimal tones. Performance results are presented which demonstrate that the proposed algorithm yields PICR performance similar to that with the previous TR technique.","PeriodicalId":103090,"journal":{"name":"2009 Seventh Annual Communication Networks and Services Research Conference","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128136161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
