Non-Random Generator for IPv6 Tables

Overview The next generation Internet Protocol, IPv6, has attracted growing attention. The characteristics of future IPv6 routing tables play a key role in router architecture and network design. In order to design and analyze efficient and scalable IP lookup algorithms for IPv6, IPv6 routing tables are needed. Analysis of existing IPv4 tables shows that there is underlying structure that differs greatly from random distributions. Since there are few users on IPv6 at present, current IPv6 table sizes are small and unlikely to reflect future IPv6 network growth. Thus, neither randomly generated tables nor current IPv6 tables are good benchmarks for analysis. More representative IPv6 lookup tables are needed for the development of IPv6 routers. In this paper, from the analysis of the current IPv4 tables, algorithms are proposed for generating IPv6 lookup tables.

Router holes 'threaten the internet'

A router running BGP can communicate with its neighbours, essentially telling them to which networks the router can efficiently send data. However, a misconfigured router, or one that has been compromised by an online intruder, can cause chaos by...

It's another Microsoft security threat

The research builds on previous work showing that encryption algorithms can be sped up with the help of large lookup tables. The method involves using large lookup tables to match encoded passwords to the original text entered by a user, thus...

Cisco router business hit as profits rise

Cisco Systems barely met analyst expectations on Tuesday when it reported quarterly earnings and noted a sequential decline in revenues for its IP router business. Chambers didn't give specifics but financial analysts covering the company estimate...

Telco mergers may spell bad news for hardware firms

The ongoing merger wave among service providers could result in somewhat lower spending on router purchases from these carriers," he said in a separate research note. On the other hand, a merger between Qwest and MCI could hurt Cisco's rival...

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

After looking up the packet's destination in the number's address tables, the router forwards the packet to the next router in the chain. An IP packet is formed when a router chops up a stream of digital information into manageable chunks.

Cisco splashes $6.9bn for set-top box maker

Up to this point, most of Linksys' sales have centred around wireless routers used to connect PCs and laptops in the home. He said the company plans to take the Scientific-Atlanta products and integrate them with Cisco's routers and switches and...

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?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
