Introduction In recent years telecommunications literature has spoken of a coming age of " free " bandwidth. Another common discussion concerns the amount of intelligence that will evolve " within " the network vs. " outside " the network, i.e., in customer-owned equipment. Bandwidth has been increasing in such dramatic fashion in the backbone network that it is becoming negligible in end-to-en...

According to the Internet World Stats (2010), the growth rate of internet usage in the world is 444.8 % from 2000 to 2010. Since the number of internet users is rapidly increasing with each passed year, e-learning is often identified with web-based learning. The institutions, which deliver e-learning service via the use of computer and internet, are responsible to choose the most suitable e-lea...

This paper presents an approach based on mobile agents for the implementation of a platform for an Internet service provider. The aim of the approach is to implement a service provider that can provide services that are reliable, low-cost and exible. One of the main features is to make it possible to serve clients who do not have particular hardware characteristics and do not need special softw...

We are witnessing the increasing need for pervasive Internet access from public places, such as airports and hotels. However, the inherent untrusted nature of public places makes deployment of public area wireless networks challenging. We have proposed the Home-based Authentication Protocol (HAP) that provides a framework by which to establish trust between a nomadic client and a service provid...

In this paper we introduce a pricing scheme to be employed between a group of Internet service providers (ISPs) and a customer who wishes to initiate a packet flow from a fixed origin to a fixed destination. The ISPs are transparent to the customer who relies on a third party company for both the choice of the relevant ISPs and the unit flow price negotiated. The customer pays only for that por...
