Performance study of voice over frame relay : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Information Engineering, Massey University, Albany, New Zealand
Frame Relay (FR) represents an important paradigm shift in modern telecommunication. This technology is beginning to evolve from data only application to broad spectrum of multimedia users and potential to provide end users with cost effective transport of voice traffic for intra office communication. In this project the recent development in voice communication over Frame relay is investigated. Simulations were carried out using OPNET, a powerful simulation software. Following the simulation model, a practical design of the LAN-to-LAN connectivity experiment was also done in the Net Lab. From the results of the simulation, Performance measures such as delay, jitter, and throughput are reported. It is evident from the results that real-time voice or video across a frame relay network can provide acceptable performance
Network Access Control: Disruptive Technology?
Network Access Control (NAC) implements policy-based access control to the trusted network. It regulates entry to the network by the use of health verifiers and policy control points to mitigate the introduction of malicious software. However the current versions of NAC may not be the universal remedy to endpoint security that many vendors tout. Many organizations that are evaluating the technology, but that have not yet deployed a solution, believe that NAC presents an opportunity for severe disruption of their networks. A cursory examination of the technologies used and how they are deployed in the network appears to support this argument. The addition of NAC components can make the network architecture even more complex and subject to failure. However, one recent survey of organizations that have deployed a NAC solution indicates that the \u27common wisdom\u27 about NAC may not be correct
Inter-Domain Authentication for Seamless Roaming in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
The convergence of diverse but complementary wireless access technologies and inter-operation among administrative domains have been envisioned as crucial for the next generation wireless networks that will provide support for end-user devices to seamlessly roam across domain boundaries. The integration of existing and emerging heterogeneous wireless networks to provide such seamless roaming requires the design of a handover scheme that provides uninterrupted service continuity while facilitating the establishment of authenticity of the entities involved. The existing protocols for supporting re-authentication of a mobile node during a handover across administrative domains typically involve several round trips to the home domain, and hence introduce long latencies. Furthermore, the existing methods for negotiating roaming agreements to establish inter-domain trust rely on a lengthy manual process, thus, impeding seamless roaming across multiple domains in a truly heterogeneous wireless network. In this thesis, we present a new proof-token based authentication protocol that supports quick re-authentication of a mobile node as it moves to a new foreign domain without involving communication with the home domain. The proposed proof-token based protocol can also support establishment of spontaneous roaming agreements between a pair of domains that do not already have a direct roaming agreement, thus allowing flexible business models to be supported. We describe details of the new authentication architecture, the proposed protocol, which is based on EAP-TLS and compare the proposed protocol with existing protocols
IPv6 Network Mobility
Network Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting has
been used since before the days of the Internet as we know it
today. Authentication asks the question, “Who or what are
you?” Authorization asks, “What are you allowed to do?” And fi nally,
accounting wants to know, “What did you do?” These fundamental
security building blocks are being used in expanded ways today. The
fi rst part of this two-part series focused on the overall concepts of
AAA, the elements involved in AAA communications, and highlevel
approaches to achieving specifi c AAA goals. It was published in
IPJ Volume 10, No. 1[0]. This second part of the series discusses the
protocols involved, specifi c applications of AAA, and considerations
for the future of AAA
REMOTE SITE MIKROTIK VPN DENGAN POINT TO POINT TUNNELING PROTOCOL (PPTP) STUDI KASUS PADA YAYASAN TERATAI GLOBAL JAKARTA
Technology VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows everyone to be able to access the local network from outside by using the internet. Through the VPN, the user can access the resources within the local network, gain rights and settings are the same as physically being in a place where the local network is located. Data security and secrecy of data transmission from unauthorized access in transmission on the Internet becomes the main standard in the VPN, so that the VPN is always included will be the main feature is the encryption and tunneling
Automatic database acquisition software for ISDN PC cards and analogue boards
This paper describes an application for automatic speechdatabases
acquisition (ADA) developed by the authors in the
framework of the EC Telematics Project SpeechDat II. The
software is able to work with standard inexpensive PC cards for
ISDN lines, as well as Dialogic Boards for analogue telephone
lines. Both program versions share a common file format and
configuration. Other important characteristics of the recording
software are its simple set-up, a fast and flexible configuration of
the recording session, the real-time monitoring of calls and disk
space, and its proven robustness.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
