GMP: Distributed Geographic Multicast Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks

Overview This paper proposes a novel Geographic Multicast routing Protocol (GMP) for wireless sensor networks. The proposed protocol is fully distributed and stateless. Given a set of the destinations, the transmitting node first constructs a virtual Euclidean Steiner tree rooted at itself and including the destinations, using a novel and highly efficient reduction ratio heuristic (called rrSTR). Based on this locally computed tree and the information regarding the locations of its immediate neighbors, the transmitting node then splits the destinations into a set of groups and calculates a next hop for each of these groups. A copy of the packet and the locations of the corresponding group of destination nodes are directed towards the corresponding hop.

MPLS: The icing on the networking cake?

If all packets are sent using IP, the shortest points between popular destinations can become bottlenecks making the possibility of providing time-delay sensitive services - such as video or voice - difficult.

Telco-friendly Ethernet 'ready for action'

A major effort has been put into making metro Ethernet resilient, with the MEF specifications providing an alternative to Ethernet's "spanning tree algorithm", which will allow the networks to recover from a broken link within 50 milliseconds...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Circuit or packet, clean or dirty?

At that time such connections were very expensive and computers inherently need to communicate with multiple destinations at the same time for seconds and not point-to-point for minutes. Instead of a known and dedicated connection, each packet may...

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

The router then places two addresses in the packet's header field - one for the destination, one for the originating device. After looking up the packet's destination in the number's address tables, the router forwards the packet to the next router...

Radioactive: Today a jam, tomorrow the open road?

Because the range of a wi-fi link is limited to a few hundred meters, every vehicle also serves as a router, allowing messages to be sent via a multi-hop process to vehicles farther away, otherwise known as mesh networking.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: Secure remote access closes in

By the 1990s, the client-server computing model came into use, providing a convenient way of interconnecting applications distributed across different locations. Virtual private networks that use internet protocol security used to be seen as a...

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.

IBM Information Server Change Data Capture

In today's fast-paced world, access to real-time data has never been more important. To be successful, organizations need to be able to report and analyze corporate data quickly and easily, regardless of what applications created the data, what platform they're running on, or what database they're stored in.
