Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Network Protocols and Evaluation With Model Checking

Overview A Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) is a wireless network set up temporarily without a wired infrastructure (routers, switches, servers, cables, access points, etc.). The wireless nodes in a MANET may move around and each one of them may need to forward packets for other components in the network. Because they can be deployed quickly, MANETs could be used for disaster rescue, battle field communication, sensor networks, etc. this paper focuses on investigating the specific properties that a wireless routing protocol needs to satisfy, evaluating existing wireless routing protocols with model checking, and designing better protocols.

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

But IP, of course, was not designed to provide a guaranteed quality of service (QoS) to the traffic it carries; it was originally designed as a way of diversely routing data to ensure redundancy in case network nodes were being jammed, crashed or...

Engineering students get totally meshed up

In mesh networks, some of the nodes are given additional routing functionality. The former French state telco is testing out the Wi-Fi-based 'network of networks' and doing away with cables between nodes.

Vint Cerf: If I were young, I'd work on space networks

Bioelectronics is a field in which scientists develop electronics that can be wired to neurons in the brain in order to help the handicapped, for example. However, the openness of TCP/IP points to the viability of such an approach.

Greek island gets wireless mesh network

Writing on a 12Net portal website, Negroponte makes it clear mesh systems - powered by the many not the few - are his vision for a wired world: "Large wired and wireless telephone companies will be replaced by micro-operators, millions of which...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
