Instead of deterministically choosing one node to forward a packet to, the network layer selects a set of candidate nodes and then only one of them will be chosen dynamically as the actual forwarder based on the instantaneous channel conditions and node availability at the moment of transmission. Many protocols have been proposed and most of them are studied in specific simulation environments or real-world testbeds, and no systematic analysis has been given about the integrative performance of different protocols.\u0000 In our previous work, we have shown that different opportunistic routing protocols share many common functions and these general functions could be abstracted and decoupled into a framework of functional components, which might facilitate the development and evaluation of opportunistic routing protocols. In this paper, we extend our work and present initial evaluation results of the ExOR and MORE protocols using our simulation framework in OMNeT++. Our simulation results justify scenarios where opportunistic routing may perform better than traditional MANET routing.","PeriodicalId":415618,"journal":{"name":"International Latin American Networking Conference","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116930043","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 spite of their importance, community still lacks empirical data on the nature of the traffic exchanged through IXPs. In this paper, we analyze the traffic data from two medium-size IXPs and draw several important conclusions. We quantify the relationship between the different types (access/content/transit) of ISPs present in the two studied IXPs, both in terms of traffic volumes and peering intensity. We also demonstrate that the peering (AS-level) topology within the IXP is impacted by the pricing model of the IXP. Finally, we shed light on the temporal characteristics of the traffic exchanged at IXPs and list a number of research problems that can benefit from the data studied here. We strongly believe that, in contrast with confidential datasets typically used in studying the Internet traffic characteristics, the IXP data provide rich and publicly available resources crucial for understanding various aspects of the Internet.","PeriodicalId":415618,"journal":{"name":"International Latin American Networking Conference","volume":"30 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116675953","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}

There are, however, many aspects in which these applications must evolve, among which video quality and security deserve particular attention. While the former is about to become a reality given recent advances in codecs and link bandwidth, the latter still presents great challenges. The decentralized nature of P2P live streaming systems makes them vulnerable to attacks, among which pollution is arguably the most harmful. Multimedia stream authentication allows the detection of polluted content and can help identifying malicious users, but its costs may be prohibitive. This paper presents an analytical evaluation of recent authentication mechanisms in light of their application in P2P live streaming. Its key contribution is to compare, unlike previous work, overheads and security of various signature amortization and light digital signature mechanisms for P2P live streaming of standard and high definition video. We demonstrate, contrary to previous work, that current authentication mechanisms do not scale in therms of quality, and are feasible in current hardware only with a favorable set of parameters. Our results justify the investigation of more efficient and adaptable approaches to the next generation of P2P streaming with secure, high definition video.","PeriodicalId":415618,"journal":{"name":"International Latin American Networking Conference","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128469391","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}

This paper sets out new QoE-aware packet controller mechanisms to keep video streaming applications at an acceptable level of quality in Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) networks. In periods of congestion, intelligent packet dropper mechanisms for IEEE 802.16 systems are triggered to drop packets in accordance with their impact on user perception, intra-frame dependence, Group of Pictures (GoP) and available wireless resources in service classes. The simulation results show that the proposed solutions reduce the impact of multimedia flows on the user's experience and optimize wireless network resources in periods of congestion.. The benefits of the proposed schemes were evaluted in a simulated WiMAX QoS/QoE environment, by using the following well-known QoE metrics: Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Video Quality Metric (VQM), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and Mean Option Score (MOS).","PeriodicalId":415618,"journal":{"name":"International Latin American Networking Conference","volume":"29 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116564424","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}

This last feature makes it unique, since existing routing protocols only transport routing information. DBRP also has support for authentication and encryption. It operates over the data link layer and is based on Type-Length-Value (TLV) tuples; therefore, DBRP can be easily extended to other existing or future network protocols. Additionally, by defined new TLV tuples, other common services (e.g., NTP, NIS, NIS+, SIP, log, and printer servers), as well as other hash and encryption algorithms can be simply added to our protocol.","PeriodicalId":415618,"journal":{"name":"International Latin American Networking Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129034041","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}
