aim: nowadays, the internet is considered as an appropriate means of transferring knowledge in education and research processes. however, overusing the internet may cause addiction. this problem may increase as the internet usage increases. this paper attempted to study the internet addiction among the students of yazd universities. methods: this research was a cross-sectional study conducted a...

Inter-domain routing is a crucial part of the Internet designed for arbitrary policies, economical models, and topologies. This versatility translates into a substantially complex system that is hard to comprehend. Monitoring the inter-domain routing infrastructure is however essential for understanding the current state of the Internet and improving it. In this paper we design a methodology to...

the internet is a widely recognized channel for information exchange, academic research, entertainment, communication and commerce. the internet is a new tool that is evolving into an essential part of everyday life all over the world and its use increases especially among young people. although the positive aspects of the internet have been readily praised, there is a growing amount of literat...

With the advent of World Wide Web, the life of every person has changed drastically. No one can imagine a computer without being connected to the Internet. This dependency is likely to grow in coming years with the adoption of technologies like virtualization and cloud computing. Cloud Computing and Virtualization is one of the foremost technology which has attracted many researchers recently, ...

Countermeasure for round trip delay which occurs in between satellite and ground with network accelerator is investigated together with operating system dependency on effectiveness of accelerator. Also disaster relief data transmission experiments are conducted for mitigation of disaster together with acceleration of disaster related data transmission between local government and disaster preve...

As the number of connected networks increase and multiple service providers exist in a single autonomous system, the networks face routing problems including dependency on service providers, the chance of the appearance of unreachable networks, and overhead in terms of bandwidth used by routing protocols. This paper describes a case study on implementing autonomous system partitioning to solve ...

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a critical part of the Internet. This paper analyzes methods for passive DNS replication and describes the replication setup at the University of Auckland. Analysis of the replicated DNS traffic showed great dependency of collaborative anti-spam tools on the DNS. These tools also put a great burden on the DNS. This paper discusses analyzed anomalies in the replic...

As we enter the 21 st century, our dependency on the Internet is going to increase each day. This observation has inspired many researchers to invest their eeorts into the development of eecient Web-based computing paradigms. Java-RMI is one alternative ooered by Sun Microsystems. Using Java-RMI, a software developer can easily design and develop collaborative systems. In this article, we descr...

In October 2006, the Broadband Wales Observatory undertook case study research into the change, impact and benefits of broadband, on a diverse selection of SMEs (including micro and SOHO businesses) and citizens from across Wales, UK. This paper explains the research approach and method, and presents an overview of the findings from 24 case study reports. It concludes that all of the cases have...

Conventional firewalls rely on the notions of restricted topology and controlled entry points to function. More precisely, they rely on the assumption that everyone on one side of the entry point—the firewall—is to be trusted, and that anyone on the other side is, at least potentially, an enemy. The vastly expanded Internet connectivity in recent years has called that assumption into question. ...
