This article examines the networking that takes place within formally organized internal (organization-based) and external (industry-based) women engineers' networks. Drawing upon 48 interviews with engineers, across a number of industries seniority levels, mostly in UK, contributes to scarce empirical literature examining formal women's engineering, terms its role individual support collective...

This paper discusses an efficient approach to design and implement a highly available peerto-peer system irrespective of peer timing and churn. Although peers in P2P system join or leave at whim, it has been found that most of the peers follow diurnal pattern of availability governed by the time of day effect. When considering a global P2P system, the cyclic behavior of peers situated on differ...

Recently, mesh networking and blockchain are two of the hottest technologies in the telecommunications industry. Combining both can reformulate internet access and make connecting to the Internet not only easy, but affordable too. Hyperledger Fabric (HLF) is a blockchain framework implementation and one of the Hyperledger projects hosted by The Linux Foundation. We evaluate HLF in a real produc...

The OpenFlow protocol allows production networking environments such as campus networks, metropolitan networks or R&D networks, to be used as experimental infrastructure hosting, future internet architectures, softwares and protocols, in isolation to the production traffic. During rollout, one practical problem arises with legacy switches that do not support the OpenFlow protocol and need to be...
