A relative newcomer to the field of wireless communications, ad hoc networking is growing quickly, both in its importance and its applications. With rapid advances in hardware, software, and protocols, ad hoc networks are now coming of age, and the time has come to bring together into one...
This specification updates RFC 6775 - the Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) Neighbor Discovery specification - to clarify the role of the protocol as a registration technique and simplify the registration operation in 6LoWPAN routers, as well as to provide...
In order to verifiably validate the origin Autonomous Systems of BGP announcements, routers need a simple but reliable mechanism to receive Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RFC 6480) prefix origin data from a trusted cache. This document describes a protocol to deliver validated prefix...
On inter-router point-to-point links, it is useful, for security and other reasons, to use 127-bit IPv6 prefixes. Such a practice parallels the use of 31-bit prefixes in IPv4. This document specifies the motivation for, and usages of, 127-bit IPv6 prefix lengths on inter-router...
This document updates the IANA allocation rules and registry of IPv4 and IPv6 Router Alert Option Values.
Abstract This specification provides a mechanism for a host that implements a routing-agnostic interface based on IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) Neighbor Discovery to obtain reachability services across a network that leverages RFC 6550 for its...
When routing devices rely on modems to effect communications over wireless links, they need timely and accurate knowledge of the characteristics of the link (speed, state, etc.) in order to make routing decisions. In mobile or other environments where these characteristics...
An ITU-T H.248 media gateway (MG) may provide ITU-T H.248 IP-to-IP contexts, which implies an IP forwarding function (in the ITU-T H.248 bearer path or IP data path). There are many different forwarding functions possible, dependent on the set of packet processing functions executed, and dependent...
The Internet of Nano-Things (IoNT) is a system of nano-connected devices, objects, or organisms that have unique identifiers to transfer data over a computer or cellular network wirelessly to the Cloud. Data delivery, caching, and energy consumption are among the most significant topics in...
Introduction A Communications Router A router is a device that connects distinct parts of a network. In the OSI Reference Model, a router is considered a Network Layer device, meaning a router executes peer-to-peer communications with other devices at all layers up to...
INTRODUCTION Fleet and Asset Management (FAM), Location Based Charging (LBC), Location Based Information Service (LBIS) and Enhanced Call Routing (ECR) are WIN-based services that enable the services to be tailored based on the subscriber's current location (i.e., geographic position). This...
With classical techniques for data transmission soon reaching their limitations, cognitive approaches may offer a solution to user requirements for better coverage, connectivity, security, and energy efficiency at lower cost. Wireless Sensor Networks: A Cognitive Perspective presents a...
Introduction This memo defines the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) for IPv4 and IPv6. It is version three (3) of the protocol. It is based on VRRP (version 2) for IPv4 that is defined in [RFC3768] and in [VRRP-IPv6]. VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns...
In many environments offering short-term or temporary Internet access (such as coffee shops), it is common to start new connections in a captive-portal mode. This highly restricts what the customer can do until the customer has authenticated. This document describes a DHCP option (and a...
In order to verifiably validate the origin Autonomous Systems and Autonomous System Paths of BGP announcements, routers need a simple but reliable mechanism to receive Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RFC 6480) prefix origin data and router keys from a trusted cache. This document...
This document specifies how Label Edge Routers (LERs) should behave when determining whether to MPLS encapsulate an IPv4 packet with header options. Lack of a formal standard has resulted in different LER forwarding behaviors for IPv4 packets with header options despite being associated with...
Introduction EIB is a control system for related applications in homes and buildings. The EIB system offers standardized basic and system components, e.g., Bus Coupling Units (BCU), Power Supply Units (PSU), Bus Interface Modules (BIM), Routers, and RS-232 data interfaces. EIB offers the...
Although there are many books available on WSNs, most are low-level, introductory books. The few available for advanced readers fail to convey the breadth of knowledge required for those aiming to develop next-generation solutions for WSNs. Filling this void, Wireless Sensor Networks: From...
Abstract In many environments offering short-term or temporary Internet access (such as coffee shops), it is common to start new connections in a captive portal mode. This highly restricts what the user can do until the user has satisfied the captive portal conditions. This document describes a...
