Congestion Avoidance in Interconnected Local Area Networks

Inl The interconnection of dissimilar LANs and devices over a high-speed backbone network can creat congestion at a destination LAN (output) gateway when more than one device or LAN attempt to simultaneously communicate with the same device or LAN. We address the issue of congestion avoidance in LANs interconnected by a high speed backbone. A congestion-avoidance scheme that requires input gate...

EE 228 a - Lecture 2 - Spring 2006 Internet

In today’s class, we cover the topic of the Internet with emphasis on review of TCP/IP. ( A good reference is [1] and a slightly more readable but less comprehensive is [2] I. NETWORKS Communication networks are usually defined by their size and complexity. From top-down, we have • Wide area networks(WAN) These networks connect computers and other terminals over large distances. They often requ...

A NOVEL MAN-IN-THE-MIDDLE INTRUSION DETECTION SCHEME FOR SWITCHED LANs

The Man-in-the-Middle (MiM ) attack is used by attackers to perform sniffing activities in switched LAN networks. The potential damage to a network from sniffing activities can be very significant. This paper proposes a mechanism for detecting malicious hosts performing MiM attack in switched LAN networks. The proposed mechanism consists of sending trap and spoofed packets to the network’s host...

Performance Improvement of Expanded Integrated Local Area Networks (RESEARCH NOTE)

In Local Area Networks (LAN) connected together by bridges, flow control and smooth traffic in the network is very important. However, congestion at bridges can cause intensive loss of received frames. In addition, the received frames are thrown away and have to be retransmitted by the source station, which causes more congestion and massive reduction in the overall network throughput. The netw...
