A QoS-Driven ISP Selection Mechanism for IPv6 Multi-homed Sites
A global solution for the provision of QoS in IPng sites must include ISP selection based on per-application requirements. In this article we present a new site-local architecture for QoS-driven ISP selection in multi-homed domains, performed in a per application basis. This architecture proposes the novel use of existent network services, a new type of routing header, and the modification of address selection mechanisms to take into account QoS requirements. This proposal is an evolution of current technology, and therefore precludes the addition of new protocols, enabling fast deployment. The sitelocal scope of the proposed solution results in ISP transparency and thus in ISP independency.This research was supported by the LONG (Laboratories Over the Next Generation Networks) project IST-1999-20393.Publicad
Fast connected component labeling algorithm: a non voxel-based approach
This paper presents a new approach to achieve connected component labeling on both binary images and volumes by using the Extreme Vertices Model (EVM), a representation model for orthogonal
polyhedra, applied to digital images and volume datasets recently. In contrast with previous techniques, this method does not use a voxel-based approach but deals with the inner sections of the object.Postprint (published version
Complementary Algorithms For Tableaux
We study four operations defined on pairs of tableaux. Algorithms for the
first three involve the familiar procedures of jeu de taquin, row insertion,
and column insertion. The fourth operation, hopscotch, is new, although
specialised versions have appeared previously. Like the other three operations,
this new operation may be computed with a set of local rules in a growth
diagram, and it preserves Knuth equivalence class. Each of these four
operations gives rise to an a priori distinct theory of dual equivalence. We
show that these four theories coincide. The four operations are linked via the
involutive tableau operations of complementation and conjugation.Comment: 29 pages, 52 .eps files for figures, JCTA, to appea
Efficient Multistriding of Large Non-deterministic Finite State Automata for Deep Packet Inspection
Multistride automata speed up input matching because each multistriding transformation halves the size of the input string, leading to a potential 2x speedup. However, up to now little effort has been spent in optimizing the building process of multistride automata, with the result that current algorithms cannot be applied to real-life, large automata such as the ones used in commercial IDSs, because the time and the memory space needed to create the new automaton quickly becomes unfeasible. In this paper, new algorithms for efficient building of multistride NFAs for packet inspection are presented, explaining how these new techniques can outperform the previous algorithms in terms of required time and memory usag
