Abstract

This paper presents a novel e-learning platform called IREEL. IREEL is a virtual laboratory allowing students to drive experiments with real Internet applications and end-to-end protocols in the context of networking courses. This platform consists in a remote network emulator offering a set of pre-defined applications and protocol mechanisms. Experimenters configure and control the emulation and the end-systems behavior in order to perform tests, measurements, and observations on protocols or applications operating under controlled specific networking conditions. A set of end-to-end mechanisms, mainly focusing on transport and application-level protocols, are currently available. IREEL is scalable and easy to use thanks to an ergonomic web interface.

TCP tunnels: avoiding congestion collapse
LCN '00: Proceedings of the 25th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks

This paper examines the attributes of TCP tunnels which are TCP circuits that carry IP packets and benefit from the congestion control mechanism of TCP/IP. The deployment of TCP tunnels reduces the many flows situation on the Internet to that of a few ...
Domain Constrained Multicast: A New Approach for IP Multicast Routing

One of major reasons why IP multicast has not been well deployed is the complexity of IP multicast routing. Since existing IP multicast routing protocols have been designed independently of IP unicast routing protocols, a router must maintain routing ...
Hop integrity in computer networks
ICNP '00: Proceedings of the 2000 International Conference on Network Protocols

A computer network is said to provide hop integrity iff when any router p in the network receives a message m supposedly from an adjacent router q, then p can check that m was indeed sent by q, was not modified after it was sent, and was not a replay of ...
