The rapid growth of Internet and the fast emergence of new network applications have brought great challenges and complex issues in deploying high-speed and QoS guaranteed IP network. For this reason packet classification and network intrusion detection have assumed a key role in modern communication networks in order to provide Qos and security. In this thesis we describe a number of the most ...

The IP (Intellectual Property) protection has been widely concerned by more semiconductor companies and research institutions, due to the rapid advances in deep sun-micron integrated circuits. A DFA (Deterministic Finite Automaton)-based distributed IP watermarking method is presented by using data compression technology. DFA is used for generating pseudorandom key stream and encrypting the ori...

To conceive the full potential of wireless IP services, Mobile Nodes (MNs) must be able to roam seamlessly across different networks. Mobile Stream Control Transmission Protocol (mSCTP) is a transport layer solution, which unlike Mobile IP (MIP), provides seamless mobility with minimum delay and negligible packet loss. However, mSCTP fails to locate the current IP address of the mobile node whe...

Many address lookup methods for IP routers to improve a packet forwarding capability have been recently proposed, but evaluation on their performance prediction is very limited because of lack of consideration on actual traffic characteristics. It is necessary to consider the actual traffic characteristics to predict more realistic performances of routers, and in this thesis, we propose methods...

IP address lookup is becoming critical because of increasing routing table size, speed, and traffic in the Internet. Our paper shows how binary search can be adapted for best matching prefix using two entries per prefix and by doing precomputation. Next we show how to improve the performance of any best matching prefix scheme using an initial array indexed by the first X bits of the address. We...

With a rapid increase in the data transmission link rates and an immense continuous growth in the Internet traffic, the demand for routers that perform Internet protocol packet forwarding at high speed and throughput is ever increasing. The key issue in the router performance is the IP address lookup mechanism based on the longest prefix matching scheme. Earlier work on fast Internet Protocol V...

To determine how to forward a packet, an Internet router must perform routing lookup on the destination IP address. Since the adoption of classless interdomain routing in 1993, routing an incoming packet requires that the router find the longest routing prefix that matches the destination IP address. Researchers have proposed various software-based schemes to accelerate the lookup function. How...

Data link level forwarding provides simple and fast packet forwarding capability. One primary reason for the simplicity of layer 2 forwarding comes from its short, fixed length labels. A node forwarding at network layer must parse a relatively large header, and perform a longest-prefix match to determine a forwarding path. When a node performs layer 2 forwarding it can do direct index lookup in...

Routers are key building blocks in networks. They need to cope with high data rates in the range of multiple gigabit per second that are owing through them. Therefore, speciically performance critical functions should be implemented in dedicated hardware units in order to speed up the forwarding task. These units can be embedded within regular workstations or into dedicated router architectures...

Named Data Networking (NDN) is the hot research topics for future Internet. It is the contrast model of traditional IP architecture. NDN gives more importance to content rather than the data hosts. It enables the end user to give a data content request with no knowledge about the hosting entity. It manages user mobility, highly secure, flexible and scalable than the conventional Internet. Thoug...
