In this kind of network disconnections are frequent and nodes have limited resources, making the design of new routing strategies a challenging task. In previous work we have proposed APRP (Adaptive Potential Routing Protocol) and compared with existing protocols. APRP uses the mobility behavior of each node, captured by the number of meetings with other nodes during a time interval, to decide on the forwarding of messages. In this paper we analyze the impact of adding a confirmation strategy to this protocol. To evaluate that, an extended set of performance metrics is briefly discussed and applied using an extended simulation environment specific for DTNs.","PeriodicalId":415618,"journal":{"name":"International Latin American Networking Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121097409","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}

However, these systems can suffer from high rates of false positives and can be evaded through through mimicry attacks. The key to addressing both problems is careful control of model generalization. An anomaly detection system that undergeneralizes generates too many false positives, while one that overgeneralizes misses attacks. In this paper, we present a methodology for creating anomaly detection systems that make appropriate trade-offs regarding model precision and generalization. Specifically, we propose that systems be created by taking an appropriate, undergeneralizing data modeling method and extending it using data pre-processing generalization heuristics. To show the utility of our methodology, we show how it has been applied to the problem of detecting malicious web requests.","PeriodicalId":415618,"journal":{"name":"International Latin American Networking Conference","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126725209","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 the last months, local governments are trying to solve the problem by prohibiting them to be on some public places. On the other hand, e-commerce provides an option to people sell goods on line. In Venezuela, there are more than a hundred of public communication centers and many others which are private.

Taking into account that web traffic is the most extended protocol over the Internet community, many solutions have been proposed to supply certain QoS to this type of service. Traditionally, DiffServ architectures have considered two-color markings in order to distinguish between high and low priorities. We study the special treatment for web flows. The web traffic pattern is very close to mouse and elephant distribution flows in Internet. We differentiate flows into short and long classes in order to ensure QoS for short flows, but we try to achieve certain QoS for some long flows. We classify the incoming flows into mice, hybrids and elephants, using three-color markings for each kind of flow, and a three-queue system at the DiffServ system. First of all, we need to detect the gaps in the bandwidth. With these gaps we look for candidate flows to be promoted (hybrids). These hybrid flows will be sent to high priority queue. Next we look for extremely long flows (elephants) which reduce drastically the web traffic performance. Elephant flows will be sent over the low priority queue in order to avoid the promotion of these flows and permit other aspirants to be promoted. Some stochastic functions are computed for the classification at the DiffServ system. Finally, the PLF algorithm is proposed which improves the global performance of the web traffic related with mean of transmission latency and packet loss. We have used ns2 network simulator tool for the simulation with the PackMime-HTTP object for the realistic synthetic web traffic generation.","PeriodicalId":415618,"journal":{"name":"International Latin American Networking Conference","volume":"50 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132624774","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}

End-to-end active measurement is one of the topics that focuses on this research area. However, these measurement methodologies have focused on end-to-end measurements over the wired Internet. The development of cellular data services is shifting the resarch focus on QoS from wired to wireless networks. End-to-end measurement methodologies of cellular networks have some issues that are not considered by traditional measurement techniques. This paper analyzes these issues and suggests an end-to-end active measurement methodology that deals with these particular problems. The proposed research and measurement methodology is based on a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) network, particularly on data services on a GPRS-EDGE (General Packet Radio Service/Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) network.

The main aim of the proposal presented in this paper is to allow QoS provision over IP networks without the need for upgrades at every router. In this paper, an overlay topology is built up only from routers which support QoS provision features and it is managed by an agent called Network Broker. Upgrading some routers within the network is still needed, but there are no constraints as to which routers should be upgraded. As a result, providers could incrementally deploy QoS services over their networks. Using two new routing algorithms, results confirm that the more routers that are upgraded, the better the capacity of the network to provide QoS services.","PeriodicalId":415618,"journal":{"name":"International Latin American Networking Conference","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127269256","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}
