Frame Relay White Papers

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)

Overview Virtual private network is defined as customer connectivity deployed on a shared infrastructure with the same policies as a private network. The shared infrastructure can leverage a service provider IP, Frame Relay, or ATM backbone, or the Internet. Currently there are no standards outlining the software and hardware components of a VPN. Every vendor that provides a VPN service performs it in a method that is best supported by its own hardware platforms and software applications. This chapter provides an overview of building VPNs using the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), and it explores the possible implementation topologies.

Broadcasting Over Switched Single Beam Antennas

In switched single beam directional antenna model, broadcasting is achieved by sequentially steering the antenna beam across all pre-defined directions resulting in a sweeping delay. This paper studies suggested techniques...

Performance of Information Discovery and Message Relaying in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

This paper presents 7DS, a novel peer-to-peer resource sharing system. 7DS is an architecture, a set of protocols and an implementation enabling the exchange of data among peers that are...

Performance Evaluation of Approximation Algorithms for Multipoint Relay Selection

In Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET), the selection of Multipoint Relays provides an efficient routing scheme for efficient broadcast and shortest-path unicast. As such a selection is NP-hard, a heuristic...

Modeling the Performance of Flooding in Wireless Multi-Hop Ad Hoc Networks

One feature common to most existing routing protocols for wireless mobile ad hoc networks, or MANETs, is the need to flood control messages network-wide during the route acquisition and maintenance...

Toward Broadcast Reliability in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks With Double Coverage

The broadcast operation, as a fundamental service in Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs), is prone to the broadcast storm problem if forwarding nodes are not carefully designated. The objective of...
