A Congestion Control Algorithm for Tree-Based Reliable Multicast Protocols

Overview This paper contains a detailed description of the congestion control algorithm of TRAM, a tree-based reliable multicast protocol. This algorithm takes advantage of regular acknowledgements from the receivers that propagate back to the sender via the repair tree. This scalable feedback mechanism is used to collect receiver credits. Complementing the windowing mechanism, packet transmission is smoothed by using a data rate commensurate with the window size.

Private bits - the battle to safeguard data through encryption

DES allows both the sender and receiver to use the same key to encrypt and decrypt. The sender looks up the recipient's public key from the internet and uses it to encrypt the message. The original text, or 'plaintext', is converted into a coded...

Slammer time - SQL worm brings net to its knees over weekend

SQL uses a keep-alive mechanism to distinguish between active and passive instances but the flaw means that if a particular data packet is sent to the SQL Server 2000 keep-alive function, it will reply to the sender with an identical packet.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
