An Efficient Multi-Hop ARP Scheme for Wireless LAN Based Mesh Networks

Tags:
local area networks (lan)

Overview One of the important functions of wireless mesh networks is a multi-hop packet forwarding among fixed wireless routers. The current proposal for the IEEE 802.11s specification (i.e., the standardization effort for WLAN-based mesh networks) focuses on adding such a mesh functionality into wireless LAN devices in the MAC layer (L2). Here, a route discovery process for a destination will be based on its MAC address to find a multi-hop path towards the destination. Clearly, in order to achieve the destination's MAC address before route discovery, ARP request/reply packets will be delivered in a multi-hop fashion. This may cause significant bandwidth consumption due to uncontrolled ARP flooding.

'Selfish' routers slow the internet

According to the paradox, the packets of information would simply hop from one path to another - much like drivers switching lanes in a traffic jam - actually slowing down all the other packets traveling on those pathways.

What are IP VPNs good for?

Because IPSec encrypts data before forwarding it over the IP VPN and then decrypting it, there's a delay that makes using these apps together tough, and practically prohibits voice packets. Yet you're worried about becoming a fashion victim.

Secure VoIP has arrived

TCP uses packet retransmission, which means that packets can be delayed en route to their destination. Net6 has developed technology that it says will get voice and video traffic to its destination securely and without delays.

Oh, what a mesh!

That deal and an expected announcement from Nortel Networks suggest that the mesh-networking market is on the rise. Motorola rival Nortel said it plans to announce on Wednesday a large sale of mesh-networking equipment to a customer in China.

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

When packets arrive at their destination, they can arrive in any order with significant delay. The router then places two addresses in the packet's header field - one for the destination, one for the originating device.

Cracked: The Great Firewall of China

By forging the source address of a packet containing a "sensitive" keyword, people could trigger the firewall to block access between source and destination addresses for up to an hour at a time. If an attacker generated 100 triggering packets per...

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.
