In this paper we released some connection problems with BitTorrent (BT) that we have founded in our four months' experimental study. One connection per IP address is usually used by network application software for flow fairness. However if one connection per IP address is configured with BT there will be some problems in connection setup, which induces some peers not to find some of others even the number of total peers is small. These problems are caused by some bugs in the current BT. All of these problems will be detailed in this paper and modified source codes are also given. We hope this work be helpful for some researchers' experimental study, perfect BT's real use, and arouse similar project's attention to these connection problems.

Privacy constitutes a great challenge for the spread of new services. In particular for Next Generation Network (NGN) services, operators and providers hold more sensitive information than traditional networks. NGN implies a new service layer, accessible by third parties through standardized interfaces. This newly proposed service architecture is not protected yet against privacy threat. We demonstrate that pseudonymity is an interesting and feasible solution in Parlay X gateway. Location-Based Services (LBS) make use of user positions, which are sensitive information, to provide more enhanced services. Different alternatives in cellular networks, exist to retrieve this information, they however don't offer the same privacy quality level. Those alternatives may cooperate to provide location information to service providers. The discontinuity of the privacy quality imperils the anonymity of users. In this paper, we propose a novel Privacy Web service added to the Parlay X gateway of the service architecture to ensure user privacy through pseudonymity in location services. The architecture is based on the enhancement of standardized Parlay X Web services. The new proposed web service could enforce the privacy provided by operator networks. A formal model of our approach is investigated.
隐私对新服务的推广构成了巨大挑战。特别是对于下一代网络(NGN)业务，运营商和提供商比传统网络拥有更多的敏感信息。NGN意味着一个新的服务层，第三方可以通过标准化接口访问。这个新提出的服务体系结构还不能防止隐私威胁。我们证明了在Parlay X网关中，匿名是一种有趣且可行的解决方案。基于位置的服务(LBS)利用用户位置这一敏感信息来提供更多的增强服务。在蜂窝网络中，存在不同的替代方案来检索这些信息，但是它们不能提供相同的隐私质量水平。这些替代方案可以合作向服务提供者提供位置信息。隐私质量的不连续性危及用户的匿名性。在本文中，我们提出了一种新的隐私Web服务，添加到服务体系结构的Parlay X网关中，通过在位置服务中使用假名来确保用户的隐私。该体系结构基于对标准化Parlay X Web服务的增强。新提议的网络服务可以加强运营商网络提供的隐私保护。研究了该方法的形式化模型。

In recent time we spot a tendency to use the computing capacity of workstation clusters instead of investing in single machines with tremendous calculation power. Applying this idea we are able to execute multiple jobs paralelly. However, it still remains unclear how to schedule given jobs among available machines most effectively. Therefore this paper is an approach to optimization of mentioned scheduling. The problem faced here is known in the literature as parallel machine earliness-tardiness scheduling (PMSP_E/T). The optimum criterion is finding the minimal sum of the weighted earliness and tardiness penalties. Due to NP-hardness of specified problem and thus difficulty in locating the optimum we propose two heuristic algorithms to find a satisfying solution: genetic with MCUOX crossover operator and tabu search. We have conducted a research to compare the effectiveness of both approaches and display their dependence on the size of examined instances. Results proove genetic approach superiority over tabu search for larger instances.

The need for supporting real time and multimedia applications for users of mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is becoming essential. Mobile ad hoc networks can provide multimedia users with mobility they demand, if efficient QoS multicast strategies were developed. The aim of this article is to define the building blocks of such an ad hoc QoS multicasting (AQM) protocol and propose a cross layer framework to support QoS multicasting. AQM achieves multicasting efficiency by tracking the availability of resources for each node within its neighbourhood. Computation of free bandwidth is based on reservations made for ongoing sessions and similar information reported by neighbours. Current QoS status is announced at the initiation of a new session and updated periodically in the network to the extent of QoS provision. Thus, nodes are prevented from applying for membership if there is no QoS path for the session. When nodes join a session with certain service requirements, a request-reply- reserve process ensures that the QoS information is refreshed and used to select the most appropriate routes. To evaluate the efficiency of AQM in providing multicast users with QoS and satisfying application requirements, two new performance metrics, member and session satisfaction grades are introduced. AQM is compared to a non- QoS scheme with particular emphasis on these criteria. Simulation results show that, by applying QoS restrictions, AQM significantly improves multicasting efficiency. Thus, QoS is both essential for and applicable to multicasting in order to support mobile multimedia applications in ad hoc networks.

This paper deals with the design of an algorithm and application for an automatic system of real-time audio signal quality surveillance on personal computers. This system works without any knowledge of how the audio signal is processed. The audio signal quality and possible signal failures are monitored by being compared with the original signal in the time-frequency domain. The system supports several audio formats from mono to 5.1 and downmix for comparison between different audio formats. For high performance, SIMD technologies are used. The whole system consists of several local surveillance applications (clients) and a server application with SNMP client that monitors the local application states using the TCP/IP network.

The introduction of advanced radio resource management features such as directional antennas, power control and variable data rates have been proposed to increase the performance of multihop wireless networks. In this paper we will study the combined effects of adaptive rate selection and power control in spatial time division multiple access (STDMA) networks where nodes are equipped with advanced (beamforming) antennas. In our evaluation, the rates are selected from a discrete set. To assess the optimum performance of the various techniques, joint scheduling, rate and power control is done by solving a non-linear optimization problem. The results show that variable rates schemes can significantly improve the end-to-end network throughput compared to fixed rate schemes, whereas power control adds only a limited additional gain. The latter effect becomes even more pronounced as more narrow-beam antennas are used.

The diversity of the applications supported by wireless ad hoc and sensor networks explain the success of these networks. However, their energy constrained nature requires the use of energy efficient strategies to maximize network lifetime. We can classify these strategies in four categories: 1. energy efficient routing, 2. scheduling the nodes sleeping state, 3. topology control by tuning node transmission power and 4. reducing the volume of information transferred. For each category, a state of the art is given and new protocols are presented. The best energy efficiency will be obtained by combining all the four categories of strategies. A cross-layering approach is a promising tradeoff between generic solutions and solutions optimized for a specific application.

The topological routing over N2R structures has been studied and implemented using different techniques. An implemented algorithm achieves good performance and a restoration mechanism has been added to the algorithm to obtain higher reliability. This paper introduces the concept of restoration, when failures occurs, being able to reroute the packets to the destination when the main path is not available. The goal is prove that there is an easy and efficient method for restoration in case of a failure of any element.

This paper treats a MPLS VPN implementation in a network, which was initially configured for fulfilling the demands for mainly voice and ADSL services. At the beginning, the architecture of TK (Telecom of Kosova) NGN network with its corresponding elements and functionality is described. Then, based on business customers' demands, the reconfiguration of MPLS VPN in a full mesh LSP form is presented. The standardized methodology used for creation of new services was of great support for fast provision of those services. This experience has demonstrated all the advantages of a network based MPLS VPN approach in a full mesh LSP network. At the end, the example of the full mesh LSP network topology configuration is presented. Currently, the established network is used to offer VPN services to a bank located in 4 different towns in Kosova, and later for the other customers with the similar demands.
