The NoSQL databases were created as a mean to offer high performance (both in terms of speed and size) and high availability at the price of loosing the ACID (Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, Durable) trait of the traditional databases in exchange with keeping a weaker BASE (Basic Availability, Soft state, Eventual consistency) feature. Remains to be seen which of the multiple solutions created since the official appearance of the NoSQL concept (which was defined in 1998 and reintroduced in 2009, around which moment several NoSQL solutions emerged; at the present moment there are known over 120 such solutions) are really delivering on these promises of higher performance (although several of them are already used with very good results).","PeriodicalId":277269,"journal":{"name":"2011 RoEduNet International Conference 10th Edition: Networking in Education and Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121307854","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}

Bocu","doi":"10.1109/ROEDUNET.2011.5993695","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ROEDUNET.2011.5993695","url":null,"abstract":"The endeavour to ensure email servers attain and keep a good reputation on the internet is essential for today's system administrators and companies. This is due to the fact that approximately 90% of nowadays email traffic is represented by purely spam and unsolicited messages. Therefore, email filtering techniques have continuously developed during the past decade. In this context, it can be stated that the reputation of the IP address that routes the server's email traffic is essential and constitutes an important variable of any algorithm that quantifies email systems reputation. This remark can be coupled with the fact that IP addresses that are once detected to send spam or that simply do not comply with good sending practices are marked as “untrusted” by email reputation assessment systems on the Internet. Once this has happened, reverting back to a normal state often proves to be a difficult, even impossible challenge. It should also be kept in mind that the IP version 4 address space is virtually depleted and the transition to IP version 6 is still in its early stages. Therefore, it is crucial for any system administration team to use an integrated IP reputation assurance method. This paper introduces the main concepts that are connected to IP reputation and its assurance. Moreover, an integrated email systems reputation assurance method, which is based on IP pooling, is described and its performance and usability are assessed and demonstrated considering a practical setting.","PeriodicalId":277269,"journal":{"name":"2011 RoEduNet International Conference 10th Edition: Networking in Education and Research","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129962913","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}

In this paper we present the implementation and performance evaluation of a new dynamic multipath routing solution, called Situation Aware Multipath (SAMP), using the OPNET Modeler. The main features of our solution are load balancing and congestion avoidance. To increase the scalability, the network is divided into multipath routing domains. We defined two types of routers: AR (Adaptive Router) and AMR (Adaptive Multipath Router), with different capabilities depending on their location inside the domain. SAMP offers network robustness and reliability by taking advantage of the path diversity. The performance of the proposed solution is evaluated and compared, in terms of throughput and network resource utilization, with three standard routing protocols: OSPF, ECMP and EIGRP. The simulation results demonstrate that the new proposed multipath routing algorithm can assure increased network resource utilization and also a high transmission quality, even in case of congestion.","PeriodicalId":277269,"journal":{"name":"2011 RoEduNet International Conference 10th Edition: Networking in Education and Research","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124062717","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}

Several methods for hiding data in a network have been proposed, but the main drawback of most of them is that they do not offer a secondary layer of protection. If steganography is detected, the data is in plain text. This article proposes an implementation called SCONeP (Steganography and Cryptography over Network Protocols) that offers the protection of hidden data by encrypting it. Furthermore, it describes two less utilized protocols for data hiding, ICMP and UDP, and presents the performance of two scenarios that use SCONeP, in comparison to other steganography tools. Finally, a proof-of-concept active warden used for preventing network steganography is described.","PeriodicalId":277269,"journal":{"name":"2011 RoEduNet International Conference 10th Edition: Networking in Education and Research","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123924488","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}

The numerical scheme is based on a finite difference method. The domain on which the simulations have been performed is a backward facing step problem and the discretizations have been carried out on a MAC grid. The most time consuming parts, i.e. the computations of the velocities and of the pressure values, have been moved onto the GPU. Two separate kernels have been defined because there is no communication between the blocks of the GPU grid. Several optimization strategies have incrementally increased the performance of the two kernels. The most important ones are: coalesced global memory, reduced read and copy operations and optimum usage of shared memory. The results of the comparison between the CPU and GPU performance indicate a speed-up which varies from just under one order of magnitude for the coarsest grid up to two orders of magnitude for the finest grid.","PeriodicalId":277269,"journal":{"name":"2011 RoEduNet International Conference 10th Edition: Networking in Education and Research","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121136249","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}
