Abstract: A crucial part of the Networking course is the examination of and experimentation with network traffic data. Most standalone network traffic sniffers are quite expensive and those freely available on general purpose platforms (e.g., Linux or Windows) are quite cryptic. Because of this, we have developed NetSpy: a Java-based network sniffer that allows plug-in Java modules to analyze network data. These modules are written by students as part of their experimentation with traffic data. This paper describes the NetSpy system and the way we use this in Networking class.

Abstract: From the Publisher: For many professionals, wireless home computer networking delivers the power of corporate technology -- without the hassles of corporate living, and the mobile connectivity to all of the computers throughout your home (or backyard) -- without rewiring. That's why if you plan to set up a wireless home network, WiFi Home Networking is the one book you shouldn't be without. Written by a noted telecommunications expert, this hardworking reference delivers comprehensive coverage of wireless home networking, written in language the layman will easily understand. When it comes to making the right decision about the overwhelming array of choices and expenses associated with wireless home networking, don't rely on guesswork. Turn to McGraw-Hill's WiFi Home Networking, and get home networking power -- not home networking problems!

Abstract: This thesis addresses one of the important issues in designing future WDM optical networks. Such networks are expected to employ an all-optical control plane for dissemination of network state information. It has recently been suggested that an efficient control plane will require non-blocking communication infrastructure and routing techniques. However, the irregular nature of most WDM networks does not lend itself to efficient nonblocking communications. It has been recently shown that hypercubes offer some very efficient non-blocking solutions for, all-to-all broadcast operations, which would be very attractive for control plane implementation. Such results can be utilized by embedding virtual structures in the physical network and doing the routing using properties of a virtual architecture. We will emphasize the hypercube due to its proven usefulness. In this thesis we propose three efficient heuristic methods for embedding a virtual hypercube in an irregular host network such that each node in the host network is either a hypercube node or a neighbor of a hypercube node. The latter will be called a “satellite” or “secondary” node. These schemes follow a step-by-step procedure for the embedding and for finding the physical path implementation of the virtual links while attempting to optimize certain metrics such as the number of wavelengths on each link and the average length of virtual link mappings. We have designed software that takes the adjacency list of an irregular topology as input and provides the adjacency list of a hypercube embedded in the original network. We executed this software on a number of irregular networks with different connectivities and compared the behavior of each of the three algorithms. The algorithms are compared with respect to their performance in trying to optimize several metrics. We also compare our algorithms to an already existing algorithm in the literature.

Abstract: This paper describes the design objectives for a set of networking laboratories to be used in conjunction with a sequence of networking courses The strong demand from both industry and model curricula provides justification for both conceptual and practical student training The design of networking labs is complex because of the hardware and software demands in networking The goal of developing labs that are flexible, affordable, and maintainable is described along with some suggested lab designs and uses

Abstract: While there has already been significant research in support of openness and programmability in networks, this paper argues that there remains a need for generic support for the integrated development, deployment and management of programmable networking software. We further argue that this support should explicitly address the management of run-time reconfiguration of systems, and should be independent of any particular programming paradigm (e.g. active networking or open signaling), programming language, or hardware/ operating system platform. In line with these aims, we outline an approach to the structuring of programmable networking software in terms of a ubiquitously applied software component model that can accommodate all levels of a programmable networking system from low-level system support, to in-band packet handling, to active networking execution environments to signaling and coordination.
