, and a practical design for location-hidden services via rendezvous points. Tor works on the real-world Internet, requires no special privileges or kernel modifications, requires little synchronization or coordination between nodes, and provides a reasonable tradeoff between anonymity, usability

The demand for streaming multimedia applications is growing at an incredible rate. In this paper, we propose Bayeux, an efficient application-level multicast system that scales to arbitrarily large receiver groups while tolerating failures in routers and network links. Bayeux also includes specific

We address the computer communication network design problem of optimal location of switches/ routers as well as interconnection (OLSRI) of the core network. This problem is applicable, for example, in the network topological architecture design arising in ATM PNNI environment or IP/ATM networking

policies that are compatible with inferred peering /customer/provider relationships. In these simulations, in which network and router behavior are "ideal", we inject inter-AS link failures and demonstrate that our methodology can effectively identify most origins of instability. We then develop

We propose a simple and robust mechanism for detecting SYN flooding attacks. Instead of monitoring the ongoing traffic at the front end (like firewall or proxy) or a victim server itself, we detect the SYN flooding attacks at leaf routers that connect end hosts to the Internet. The simplicity

Bioremediation, the exploitation of biological catalysts (mostly microorganisms) for removing pollutants from the environment, requires the integration of huge amounts of data from different sources. We have developed MetaRouter, a system for maintaining heterogeneous information related

A new proposal for an optical packet-routed network based on a distributed router architecture in a WDM network is described. Buffering, scheduling and wavelength assignment functions are carried out in routers located at the edge of the network. The destination address is encoded by a given

In this paper we present an abstract execution model for active networking that blends the notions of universal computing device and network router. Pivotal element of this architecture is a generalized route table that stores forwarding data as well as program instructions. The route table

Community networks a b s t r a c t Wireless technologies are rapidly evolving and the users are demanding the possibility of changing their point of attachment to the Internet (i.e. Access Routers) without breaking the IP communications. This can be achieved by using Mobile IP or NEMO. However

management protocol (IDMP) for managing mobility within a domain, commonly known as micromobility management, for nextgeneration wireless networks. IDMP is modular and simple because it leverages existing protocols, such as Mobile IP or SIP as global mobility management, for locating roaming nodes. Unlike
