MPLS VPNs: Layer 2 or Layer 3? Understanding the Choice
Since there's been data networking, there's been a debate between switched and routed architectures - stated in OSI terms, between performing functions at Layer 3 or Layer 2. Today, we see it again surfacing as network architects consider the design of Virtual Private Networks VPNs that take advantage of Multi-Protocol...

Providing Multi-Layer Security Support for Wireless Communications Across Multiple Trusted Domains
Recently many link layer security protocols have been developed and deployed to protect the wireless communications in local area networks. However, cryptanalysis has revealed lots of insecurities and vulnerabilities of the link layer protocols. This paper studies a multi-layer alternative. Compared to a link layer approach, the multi-layer architecture provides...

RCL: A New Method for Cross-Layer Network Modelling and Simulation
The evolution from wired network systems to wireless environments such as Ad-hoc networks enables the emerging of cross-layer systems to improve the wireless network performance. Efficient methods that may either produce or update cross-layer conceptual models have to be considered. Those models allow an efficient organization of the wireless systems....

Application-Layer Filtering in ISA Server 2004
ISA Server 2004 is a sophisticated, application-layer aware firewall that uses a number of application filters to perform layer 7 inspection of communications moving through the firewall. ISA Server 2000 moves beyond the limitations of traditional packet-filtering firewalls to perform deep application-layer content inspection. This intelligent, application-layer filtering helps secure...

A Cross-Layer Strategy for Energy-Efficient Reliable Delivery in Wireless Sensor Networks
This paper investigates the problem of the lifetime maximization in wireless sensor networks under the constraint of end-to-end transmission success probability, by adopting a cross-layer strategy that considers physical layer (i.e., power control), MAC layer (i.e., retransmission control) and network layer (i.e., routing protocol) jointly. The paper decouples the problem...
