This book was released on 2006-07-06 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the pattern of the Internet growth in popularity, started in the early 1990s, the current unprecedented expansion of wireless technology promises to have an even greater effect on how people communicate and interact, with considerable socio-economic impact all over the world. The driving force behind this growth is the remarkable progress in component miniaturization, integration, and also devel- ments in waveforms, coding, and communication protocols. Besides established infrastructurebased wireless networks (cellular, WLAN, sat- lite) ad-hoc wireless networks emerge as a new platform for distributed applications and for personal communication in scenarios where deploying infrastructure is not feasible. In ad-hoc wireless networks, each node is capable of forwarding packets on behalf of other nodes, so that multi-hop paths provide end-to-end connectivity. The increased flexibility and mobility of ad-hoc wireless networks are favored for appli- tions in law enforcement, homeland defense and military. In a world where wireless networks become increasingly interoperable with each other and with the high-speed wired Internet, personal communication systems will transform into universal terminals with instant access to variate content and able of handle demanding tasks, such as multimedia and real-time video. With users roaming between networks, and with wide variation in wireless link quality even in a single domain, the communications terminal must continue to provide a level of Quality of Service that is acceptable to the user and conforms to a contracted Service Level Agreement.

Download or read book 802 11 Wireless Networks written by Matthew Gast and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2005-04-25 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we all know by now, wireless networks offer many advantages over fixed (or wired) networks. Foremost on that list is mobility, since going wireless frees you from the tether of an Ethernet cable at a desk. But that's just the tip of the cable-free iceberg. Wireless networks are also more flexible, faster and easier for you to use, and more affordable to deploy and maintain.The de facto standard for wireless networking is the 802.11 protocol, which includes Wi-Fi (the wireless standard known as 802.11b) and its faster cousin, 802.11g. With easy-to-install 802.11 network hardware available everywhere you turn, the choice seems simple, and many people dive into wireless computing with less thought and planning than they'd give to a wired network. But it's wise to be familiar with both the capabilities and risks associated with the 802.11 protocols. And 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition is the perfect place to start.This updated edition covers everything you'll ever need to know about wireless technology. Designed with the system administrator or serious home user in mind, it's a no-nonsense guide for setting up 802.11 on Windows and Linux. Among the wide range of topics covered are discussions on: deployment considerations network monitoring and performance tuning wireless security issues how to use and select access points network monitoring essentials wireless card configuration security issues unique to wireless networks With wireless technology, the advantages to its users are indeed plentiful. Companies no longer have to deal with the hassle and expense of wiring buildings, and households with several computers can avoid fights over who's online. And now, with 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition, you can integrate wireless technology into your current infrastructure with the utmost confidence.

Download or read book Toward a Reliable Network Management Framework written by Haymanot Gebre-Amlak and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As our modern life is very much dependent on the Internet, measurement and management of network reliability is critical. Understanding the health of a network via outage and failure analysis is especially essential to assess the reliability of a network, identify problem areas for network reliability improvement, and characterize the network behavior accurately. However, little has been known on characteristics of node outages and link failures in access networks. In this dissertation, we carry out an in-depth outage and failure analysis of a university campus network using a rich set of node outage and link failure data and topology information over multiple years. We investigated the diverse statistical characteristics of both wired and wireless networks using big data analytic tools for network management. Furthermore,we classify the different types of network failures and management issues and their strategic resolution. While the recent adoption of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and softwarization of network functions and controls ease network reliability, management, and various network-level service deployments, the task of monitoring network reliability is still very challenging. We find it challenging because it not only requires vast measuring and processing resources but also introduces an additional intermediate network, so-called a ’control-path network’, that physically connects the control and data plane networks. We proposed a topology-aware network management framework that utilizes Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) messages via prudent control of the frequency of LLDP messages and considering tier-based network architecture. It provides fast and effective reliability information for faster recovery from failures. The topology-aware analysis also enables us to explore the economic impact and the cost of various types of network failures with regards to Capital Expenditure (CapEx) and Operational Expenditure (OpEx). Wireless LAN (Local Area Network) or Wi-Fi has become the primary mode of network access for most users; thus, its performance measurement becomes a critical part of network management in access networks. Through large-scale, extensive analysis of a university campus Wi-Fi network, we found its performance behavior and management issues are very distinctive from a wired network. The study also informs a strategic Wi-Fi Access Point deployment and enhanced Wi-Fi association scheme for better coverage and enhanced user experience. Most of the current and future networks would involve both wired and wireless subnets. Our work of understanding the unique issues of each one and their interplay would shed light on managing and improving network reliability in a holistic manner.
