MAP: Medial Axis Based Geometric Routing in Sensor Networks

Overview One of the challenging tasks in the deployment of dense wireless networks (like sensor networks) is in devising a routing scheme for node to node communication. Important consideration includes scalability, routing complexity, quality of communication paths and the load sharing of the routes. This paper shows that a compact and expressive abstraction of network connectivity by the medial axis enables efficient and localized routing. The paper proposes MAP, a Medial Axis based naming and routing Protocol that does not require geographical locations, makes routing decisions locally, and achieves good load balancing.

IP equals new alliances - get used to it

Much of the complexity stems from MPLS routing, and customers would need to learn new routing procedures, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). But this complexity can, of course, be outsourced to a service provider with the necessary skills.

Open source tools to help manage your Cisco network

Show CPU load: This Perl script offers a quick look at the CPU load on a Cisco router. RouteCheck: These Perl scripts check a router's routing table for stability. I decided to look into some of these free tools and found several worth sharing with...

Building a stable infrastructure for growth

Building a scalable load balancing infrastructure will ensure that network performance and availability don't decrease as the size of your network increases. As your organisation grows, load balancing becomes less of a luxury and more of a necessity.

Earthquake fears make for extreme business continuity

He said much of the planning offers day to day strategic value, such as using data centres for load-balancing. Multiple data centres in diverse locations, mirrored sites which can take over at the flick of a switch, "hot sites" - where staff can...

Why DDos attack didn't bring down the net

The distributed denial of service attack on the Domain Name System (DNS) proved the effectiveness of the Anycast load-balancing system, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) said in a document published last week.

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.
