Earlier researches have typically concentrated on discovering IP network topology, which implies that the connectivity of all Ethernet devices is ignored. But automatic discovery of Physical topology Plays a crucial role in enhancing the manageability of modem Metro Ethernet mesh networks due to the benefits of Ethernet services, including: Ease of use, Cost Effectiveness and flexibility. Because of proprietary solutions targeting specific product families and related algorithm which depends on Layer 2 forwarding table information it is impossible to discover physical topology in the Ethernet mesh networks. To cope with these shortcomings, in this paper we propose a novel and practical algorithmic solution that can discover accurate physical topology in the Ethernet mesh networks. Our algorithm divides the Ethernet mesh networks into bridged networks and host networks and those bridges located in boundary are named edge bridges. Our algorithm uses the standard spanning tree protocol MIB information for the bridged networks and uses the standard Layer 2 forwarding table MIB information for the host networks. As using the standard MIB information to discover physical topology we can offer interoperability guarantee in the Ethernet mesh networks composed of the various vendors' products.

Named Data Networking (NDN) is a representative technology of ICN that realizes the future Internet architecture. NDN searches for data by its content and not by its host IP address. The consumer generates an interest packet and sends it to the NDN network. The NDN network uses three tables such as CS, FIB, and PIT and forwards the received interest packet to the next hop. The producer transmits the data packet to the consumer through a name-based forwarding scheme. In this paper, we design and implement an ndnSIM-based NDN network and perform performance evaluation. We analyze the ndnSIM structure and develop a 6-node congested NDN network and a 9-node grid NDN network using ndnSIM. In the simulation, the performance of latency and throughput of the interest packet rate are measured. We analyze the effect of congestion on the latency and throughput of the NDN network. This approach will help researchers in the future.

Mobile multicast schemes are classified into remote subscription and bi-directional tunneling. While the former scheme has much overhead in the maintenances of multicast tree, the latter suffers from inefficient routing. In this paper, we propose dynamic mobile multicast routing (DMMR) scheme, which is operated on the basis of cost functions related with forwarding cost and tree reconstruction cost, Basically DMMR intends to find lower cost between forwarding cost and tree reconstruction cost. Forwarding cost is the cost of tunneling multicast packets from home agent, and tree reconstruction cost is the joining cost of foreign agent to multicast group. In the case that a mobile host moves to the other area, its foreign agent calculates cost functions related with forwarding cost and tree reconstruction cost. If forwarding cost is higher than tree reconstruction cost, foreign agent joins to multicast group and reconstructs the multicast tree. Accordingly, foreign agent can dynamically adapt remote subscription or bi-directional tunneling, Our scheme provides more stable multicast service to the mobile hosts regardless of the movements of mobile host and the number of mobile group members.

In the ACE2000 MPLS system, MPLS Interface Module(MIM) is composed of an ATM Interface Module and a HFMA performing a packet forwarding. In the MIM, the HFMA RSAR receive cells from the Physical layer and reassemble the cells. And the IP Lookup controller perform a packet forwarding after packet classification. Forwarded packet is segmented into cells in the HFMA TSAR and transfer to the ALMA for the transmission to an ATM cell switch. When the MIM make use of an ATM Interface Module, it directly connect the ALMA with a PHY layer using the UTOPIA Level2 interface. Then, an ALMA performs Master Mode. Also, the HFMA TSAR performs the Master Mode in the MIM. Therefore, the UTOPIA-L2 Controller of the Slave Mode require for interfacing between an ALMA and a HFHA TSAR. In this paper, we implement the architecture and cell control mechanism for the UTOPIA-L2 Controller supporting Multi-ports.

IP address lookup has become a major bottleneck of packet forwarding and a critical issue for high-speed networking techniques in routers. In this paper, we propose an efficient high-speed IP address lookup scheme using adaptive multiple hashing and prefix grouping. According to our analysis results based on routing data distributions, we grouped prefix lengths and selected the number of hash functions in each group adaptively. As a result, we can reduce collisions caused by hashing. Accordingly, a forwarding table of our scheme has good memory efficiency, and thus is organized with the proper number of memory modules. Also, the proposed scheme has the fast building and searching mechanisms to develop the forwarding table only during a single memory access.

Internet routers perform packet forwarding which determines a next hop for each incoming packet using the packet's destination IP address. IP address lookup becomes one of the major challenges because it should be performed in wire-speed for every incoming packet under the circumstance of the advancement in link technologies and the growth of the number of the Internet users. Many binary search algorithms have been proposed for fast IP address lookup. However, tree-based binary search algorithms are usually unbalanced, and they do not provide very good search performance. Even for binary search algorithms providing balanced search, they have drawbacks requiring prefix duplication. In this paper, a new binary search algorithm which provides the balanced binary search and the number of its entries is much less than the number of original prefixes. This is possible because of composing the binary search tree only with disjoint prefixes of the prefix set. Each node has a prefix vector that has the prefix nesting information. The number of memory accesses of the proposed algorithm becomes much less than that of prior binary search algorithms, and hence its performance for IP address lookup is considerably improved.

ACE 2000 ATM 교환기를 이용하여 MPLS 교환기를 구현 시, ATM 가입자 및 중계선을 수용하여 스위치와 정합 기능을 수행하는 AIM(ATM interface module)에 IP 패킷에 대한 룩업을 수행하여 ATM 스위치로 패킷을 포워딩하는 HFEA(High performance Forwarding Engine board Assembly)를 연동하기 위해서는 UTOPIA Level2 연결이 요구된다. 그러나 HFEA 에서 622Mbps 급 성능의 MXT4400(SAR) 칩은 TSAR(Transmit SAR)로 운용 시 Master모드로 동작하게 되고, AIM 모듈 또한 Rx에서 Master모드로 동작하기 때문에 이들을 연결하기 위해서는 양 모듈간에서 Slave 모드로 동작할 수 있는 UTOPIA Controller가 필요하게 된다. 이에 따라 ALMA(AW Layer Module Assembly)칩과 HFEA TSAR 사이에서 데이터를 전달하는 UTOPIA Controller를 Xilinx를 이용해 FPGA로 구현하였다.

With the increase of Internet protocol (IP) packets the performance of routers became an important issue in internetworking. In this paper we examined the matching algorithm in gigabit router which has input queue with virtual output queueing. Port partitioning concept is employed to reduce the computational burden of the scheduler within a switch. The input and output ports are divided into two groups such that the matching algorithm is implemented within each input-output pair group in parallel. The matching is performed by exchanging input and output port groups at every time slot to handle all incoming traffics. Two algorithms, maximal weight matching by port partitioning (MPP) and modified maximal weight matching by port partitioning (MMPP) are presented. MMPP has the lowest delay for every packet arrival rate. The buffer size on a port is approximately 20-60 packets depending on the packet arrival rates. The throughput is illustrated to be linear to the packet arrival rate, which can be achieved under highly efficient matching algorithm.

Mobile IP provides an efficient and scalable mechanism for host mobility within the Internet. Using Mobile If, mobile nodes may change their point of attachment to the Internet without changing their If address. However, it would result in a high signaling cost. To reduce the signaling cost, we factor in the fact that mobile users will not be actively communicating much of the time. In fact, there Is no necessity to send a binding update message to the home agent when an mobile node does not communicates with others while moving. From this point of view, we propose a lazy update strategy for minimizing signaling cost using the forwarding pointer in hierarchical Mobile IPv6. In our proposal, binding updates are sent only when a mobile node is in a busy mode. If an mobile node is in a dormant mode, binding update messages are delayed until busy mode using the forwarding pointer. As a result, our proposal can reduce the total signaling cost by eliminating unnecessary binding update messages when a mobile node Is in a dormant mode. In addition to, our proposal reduces unnecessary location update cost resulting from ping-pong effect under mobile node's dormant mode. Analysis results using the discrete analytic model presented in this paper shows that our proposal can has superior performance than hierarchical Mobile nv6 when the call-to-mobility ratio is low and the length of the forwarding pointer chain K is low.

Mobile IP was proposed to overcome identity problem of original IP address system caused by mobility of wireless mobile host. To complete its network handoff procedure, it must receive a mobile advertisement broadcasted by mobile agent. Generally, in a mobile IP system, mean time delay, 500ms, in a network handoff procedure is a critical problem of wireless service such as Voip, multimedia streaming. A caching agent caches a latest mobile advertisement, and replays it by receiving solicitation message from a mobile node finishing link layer detection. But, during the procedure of mobile registration, many packets from service provider to the mobile host would be lost and handoff time delay would be increased. In this thesis, we propose an unproved caching agent technique which can forward data packets while handoff procedure, and CoA pool for fast mobile IP registration.
