An Inter-Domain Routing Protocol for Multi-Homed Wireless Mesh Networks

Overview This paper presents a routing protocol for multi-homed wireless mesh networks that provide uninterrupted connectivity and fast handoff. The authors approach integrates wireless and wired connectivity, using multicast groups to coordinate decisions and seamlessly transfer connections between several Internet gateways as mobile clients move between access points. The protocol optimizes the use of the wireless medium by short-cutting wireless hops through wired connections, paying a very low overhead during handoffs. The paper demonstrates that inter-domain handoffs occur instantaneously, with virtually no loss or delay, for both TCP and UDP connections.

Fly me to the moon (and let us email round the stars)

Connecting these local networks are backbone connections between hubs that hold the data and transmit it between the local networks (such as a high-power transmitter on the orbiting probe that sends the data back to Earth when it can).

UK government warns on critical web vulnerability

The odds against being able to crack the inter-router codes, basically cracking a rotating number from four billion combinations, were previously estimated as being very high - and would take between four and 142 years to execute.

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.

University sends student internet down the drains

We needed a hard-wired connection. A wired in-room infrastructure will be put in the halls of residence as they are refurbished over the next 10 years. With the 1GB sewer-enabled connection the university will offer its own wireless broadband...

Third of UK homes still without web access

Northern Ireland remains the least wired area in the UK, with just over half (56 per cent) of households connected. It's a marked difference from the wired world, where sending and receiving emails was the most popular online activity, followed by...

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.
