- On Security in TCP/IP Over Wireless Network
- The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is combination of different protocols at various layers. TCP/IP is the basic communication language or protocol of the Internet and private networks either an intranet or an extranet. TCP interfaces between the application layer and the network layer. It is a connection oriented, reliable...

- Routing Information Protocol
- The Routing Information Protocol RIP is a routing protocol originally designed for Xerox PARC Universal Protocol where it was called GWINFO and used in the Xerox Network Systems XNS protocol suite. RIP became associated with both UNIX and Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in 1982 when the Berkeley Software Distribution...

- Design, Implementation and Evaluation of a QoS-Aware Transport Protocol
- In the context of a reconfigurable transport protocol framework, the paper proposes a QoS-aware Transport Protocol QSTP, specifically designed to operate over QoS-enabled networks with bandwidth guarantee. QSTP combines QoS-aware TFRC congestion control mechanism, which takes into account the network-level bandwidth reservations, with a Selective ACKnowledgment SACK mechanism in order...

- New Reno and SACK TCP Implemented in UMTS Networks: A Performance Analysis
- Universal Mobile Telecommunication System shortly UMTS is seen as the future mobile network. The use of the existing Transmission Control Protocol TCP as transport protocol in an UMTS environment is an understandable choice. TCP is the most commonly used transport protocol on the internet, and if it will be used...

- Model Checking Large Network Protocol Implementations
- Network protocols must work. The effects of protocol specification or implementation errors range from reduced performance, to security breaches, to bringing down entire networks. However, network protocols are difficult to test due to the exponential size of the state space they define. Ideally, a protocol implementation must be validated against...

- Cisco - Converting a Cisco 7940/7960 CallManager Phone to a SIP Phone and the Reverse Process
- Cisco 7940/7960 IP phones can support either the Skinny Call Control Protocol SCCP to run with Cisco CallManager, the Session Initiation Protocol or the Media Gateway Control Protocol MGCP, but not more than one simultaneously. This is possible because they load different firmware versions on bootup. This functionality is transparent...
