TCP Performance Enhancement by Implicit Priority Forwarding (IPF) Packet Buffering Scheme for Mobile IP Based Networks

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Smooth handoff by the route optimization extension of Mobile IP standard should support packet buffering mechanism at a Base Station (BS) in order to prevent TCP performance degradation due to packet losses in mobile networks environment. But, when the mobile host user moves to a congested BS in a new foreign subnetwork, those buffered packets forwarded by the previous BS are dropped and then causes the degradation of the wireless link utilization in the congested BS due to the increased congestion by those forwarded burst packets. Thus, in this paper, to solve this problem, the paper proposes an Implicit Priority Forwarding (IPF) packet buffering scheme.

Slammer time - SQL worm brings net to its knees over weekend

SQL uses a keep-alive mechanism to distinguish between active and passive instances but the flaw means that if a particular data packet is sent to the SQL Server 2000 keep-alive function, it will reply to the sender with an identical packet.

Windows XP to see double

Instead, they funnel requests to, and receive data from, a base station PC running Windows XP. Concurrent usage with a set-top box would probably prevent the PC from becoming a digital video recorder (DVR) or a photo album for the TV.

Where is the mysterious internet code coming from?

The only problem with the traffic was that its supposed source was from an internet address that couldn't exist; the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, or IANA, had reserved the block of addresses that contained the number, so no internet router...

Hackers get anonymity boost

The server would acknowledge the message, but because of the forged source address, the message would be forwarded on to the recipient. The header is the part of data packets that tells network hardware and servers how to handle the information.

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

Routers ping each other, to see which pathway is congested, completely blocked or relatively open. The packet is forwarded along the most suitable route and so on. The problems of packet loss, delay and jitter are exacerbated when voice traffic...

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.
