We develop a mathematical model to estimate the possibility that a node connects the source and destination when included to enlarge the searching zone, and to ensure that the selected lightpath is resource-efficient.

In a mobility context this security must be set up from scratch after each handover and for each customer. Therefore, a mechanism has been designed in the standardization bodies: the Context Transfer. This mechanism aims to transfer suitable information between equipments in order to reduce handover time. The benefit for an operator would then be a same security level during and after handover in mobile networks but with a cost as lower as possible. The purpose of this paper is to set out an application of the Context Transfer Protocol to IPsec (Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol) in a IPv6 mobile environment. After a state of the art of context transfer for security, the paper quickly presents CXTP (Context Transfer Protocol ) defined at the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). Then, it defines the IPsec context and finally, it describes a CXTP based solution to transfer this context between two access routers in a IPv6 mobility environment.","PeriodicalId":393914,"journal":{"name":"2007 Second International Conference on Access Networks & Workshops","volume":"332 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122841985","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, a single mode fiber optic link is modeled for the transmission of OFDM based WLAN signals. A rate equation model was utilized for modeling the 1550 nm DFB laser source based transmitter. The BER performance of the WLAN signal transmission through the fiber optic link is examined both in the forward and reverse direction.

To connect the Internet with the home, a home gateway plays an important role in a home network. However, to be more comfortable in the environment of living for the home by networked appliances and by controlling them, services such as quality of service (for short, QoS) supported applications, remote control of appliances, and safety/security of the home network still have not been realized enough. In such services, especially, the home gateway for QoS control needs to deal with real-time data in applications. In this paper, a packet-classifier algorithm for QoS control in the home gateway is proposed and its performance is evaluated. The proposed method is forwarded a real-time packet precedent. The feature of the proposed method is a simple and deterministic process for packets such as a round-robin manner. Simulation studies show that the proposed method can balance the process of the packets compared with the algorithm without QoS.","PeriodicalId":393914,"journal":{"name":"2007 Second International Conference on Access Networks & Workshops","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115827257","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}

It is cost effective, simple, and provides high speeds, exactly what is needed in the provider network. However, deployment in the provider network imposes carrier-grade requirements. Standardization bodies realized this, and they are extending its capabilities: QoS support and traffic management by 802.1Q virtual LANs (VLANs), traffic engineering by 802.1s multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP), administration and management issues by 802.1 ag connectivity fault management (CFM). However, with carrier-grade extensions Ethernet started to lose an important property: simplicity. Often the topology of the Ethernet aggregation is simple, tree-like, so complex protocols like MSTP are not required even when resilience is supported by adding several links. In most cases the plain rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP) can provide the necessary restoration and loop protection capability. However, the default settings of the RSTP protocol may not provide optimal network utilization, and it is difficult to predict its behavior after a failure. In this paper we present a tool for RSTP optimization, which engineers the network for best utilization while also ensures that optimal paths will be selected after a link failure. The result of the optimization is a port cost set for all bridge interfaces. The optimization is performed off-line using an integer linear program (ILP). We show that compared to the default settings higher throughput can be achieved, while the required bandwidth is guaranteed in case of any link failure.","PeriodicalId":393914,"journal":{"name":"2007 Second International Conference on Access Networks & Workshops","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121166329","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 aim of the self-organization algorithm is to reduce the overall interference and increase the aggregate capacity of the network. This can be possible by addressing the two major challenges that are associated with the self-organization of MR-WMN - scalability and stability. In this paper, we have first proposed a generic self-organization algorithm that addresses these two challenges. The basic approach is that of a distributed, light-weight, co-operative multiagent system that guarantees scalability. Second, we have evaluated the performance of the proposed self-organization algorithm for two sets of initialization schemes. The initialization process results in a topology control of MR-WMN by way of spatial distribution of connectivity between the mesh nodes. The results have been obtained for realistic scenarios of MR-WMN node densities and topologies.","PeriodicalId":393914,"journal":{"name":"2007 Second International Conference on Access Networks & Workshops","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116730855","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}
