Research and Implement of an Algorithm for Physical Topology Automatic Discovery in Switched Ethernet
AbstractIn this paper, a novel practical algorithmic solution for automatic discovering the physical topology of switched Ethernet was proposed. Our algorithm collects standard SNMP MIB information that is widely supported in modern IP networks and then builds the physical topology of the active network. We described the relative definitions, system model and proved the correctness of the algorithm. Practically, the algorithm was implemented in our visualization network monitoring system. We also presented the main steps of the algorithm, core codes and running results on the lab network. The experimental results clearly validate our approach, demonstrating that our algorithm is simple and effective which can discover the accurate up-to-date physical network topology
A practical approach to network-based processing
The usage of general-purpose processors externally attached to routers to play virtually the role of active coprocessors seems a safe and cost-effective approach to add active network capabilities to existing routers. This paper reviews this router-assistant way of making active nodes, addresses the benefits and limitations of this technique, and describes a new platform based on it using an enhanced commercial router. The features new to this type of architecture are transparency, IPv4 and IPv6 support, and full control over layer 3 and above. A practical experience with two applications for path characterization and a transport gateway managing multi-QoS is described.Most of this work has been funded by the IST project GCAP (Global Communication Architecture and Protocols for new QoS services over IPv6 networks) IST-1999-10 504. Further development and application to practical scenarios is being supported by IST project Opium (Open Platform for Integration of UMTS Middleware) IST-2001-36063 and the Spanish MCYT under projects TEL99-0988-C02-01 and AURAS TIC2001-1650-C02-01.Publicad

Design and Implementation of a Measurement-Based Policy-Driven Resource Management Framework For Converged Networks
This paper presents the design and implementation of a measurement-based QoS
and resource management framework, CNQF (Converged Networks QoS Management
Framework). CNQF is designed to provide unified, scalable QoS control and
resource management through the use of a policy-based network management
paradigm. It achieves this via distributed functional entities that are
deployed to co-ordinate the resources of the transport network through
centralized policy-driven decisions supported by measurement-based control
architecture. We present the CNQF architecture, implementation of the prototype
and validation of various inbuilt QoS control mechanisms using real traffic
flows on a Linux-based experimental test bed.Comment: in Ictact Journal On Communication Technology: Special Issue On Next
