Efficient Transport Protocol for Networked Haptics Applications
2008
The performance of haptic application is highly sensitive to communication delays and losses of data. It implies several constraints in developing networked haptic applications. This paper describes a new internet protocol called Efficient Transport Protocol (ETP), which aims at developing distributed interactive applications. TCP and UDP are transport protocols commonly used in any kind of networked communication, but they are not focused on real time application. This new protocol is focused on reducing roundtrip time (RTT) and interpacket gap (IPG). ETP is, therefore, optimized for interactive applications which are based on processes that are continuously exchanging data. ETP protocol i…
SmartARP: merging IP and MAC addressing for low-cost gigabit Ethernet networks
1999
Abstract Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is one of the key TCP/IP stack protocols, used on LANs to map 32 bit IP addresses into 48 bit hardware addresses. Regular ARP uses MAC layer broadcasts to perform the mapping. In this paper a new server-based ARP extension (smartARP) is proposed, which allows the extension of ARP functionality beyond a single MAC layer broadcast domain. Compared to regular IP router, smartARP together with simple broadcast-filtering switches presents a low-cost alternative for forwarding packets between MAC layer broadcast domains. SmartARP is transparent to existing IP hosts, operates independent of LAN speed, and scales for big networks.
A CORBA based architecture for distributed embedded systems using the RTLinux-GPL platform
2004
This paper describes an architecture for distributed computing on the RTLinux-GPL(GPL version of RTLinux, hereafter RTLinux) platform. The proposed architecture implements the CORBA (common object request broker architecture) model of computation, more specifically the minimum CORBA specification for embedded systems, and also provide the extensions for real-time computing. Since RTLinux lacks networking capabilities, the architecture implements all the required functionality in a layered fashion: network drivers, TCP/IP stack and an ORB (object request broker). Most of this work consists on a set of partings of some widely known open source Linux projects to RTLinux: Linux Ethernet device …
ZERO: An Efficient Ethernet-Over-IP Tunneling Protocol
2013
An Ethernet over IPv4 tunneling protocol is proposed, which categorizes all Ethernet frames to be tunneled into NICE and UGLY frames. The UGLY frames are tunneled by traditional methods, such as UDP or GRE encapsulation, resulting in substantial overhead due to additional headers and fragmentation usually required to transport long Ethernet frames over IP network typically limited to MTU=1,500 bytes. Meanwhile the NICE Ethernet frames are tunneled without any overhead as plain IPv4 packets due to non-traditional reuse of “fragment offset” or “identification” field in the IP header. It is shown that for typical Internet traffic transported over Ethernet, the proposed ZERO tunneling protocol …
Formal verification of a Cooperative Automatic Repeat reQuest MAC protocol
2012
Author's version of an article published in the journal: Computer Standards & Interfaces. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.csi.2011.12.001 Cooperative communications, in which a relay node helps the source node to deliver its packets to the destination node, are able to obtain significant benefits in terms of transmission reliability, coverage extension and energy efficiency. A Cooperative Automatic Repeat reQuest (C-ARQ) MAC protocol has been recently proposed to exploit cooperative diversity at the MAC layer. in this paper, we validate the integrity and the validity of the C-ARQ protocol using formal methods. The protocol logic is modeled in SDL and implem…
Multicast TV over WLAN in a University Campus Network
2009
One of the multimedia services offered by the campus network of the Polytechnic University of Valencia is TV over IP. This service works well in the devices connected directly to the wired network but we have detected some problems when the receivers access to the campus network through wireless IEEE 802.11, especially when devices roam across the Campus. In this paper we propose and evaluate a server-based solution to minimize the packet loss and reduce the lack of service when the mobile devices roam from an Access Point to another Access Point in the wireless network. This solution uses a location system to modify the behaviour of standard multicasting protocols in order to get a near-se…
Transport service for session initiation protocol in SIP-T scenarios
2005
The traditional telephone service has undergone deep changes in the years concerning the techniques of commutation and signaling. Today, public switched telecom networks (PSTNs) and private integrated services networks (PINSs) are strongly directed to adopt IP-based backbone. If it is possible to transfer the voice on packet switching network, in such reliable way, using voice over IP (VoIP) techniques, there is not still a valid alternative to the signaling systems, reliable and unfailing, like signaling system n.7 (SST). Session initiation protocol (SIP) seems to be the best candidate. SIP is an application layer signaling protocol and the problem remains still opened for what it concerns…
Performance evaluation of a measurement-based algorithm for distributed admission control in a DiffServ framework
2002
Distributed Admission Control in IP DiffServ environments is an emerging and promising research area. Distributed admission control solutions share the idea that no coordination among network routers (i.e. explicit signaling) is necessary, when the decision whether to admit or reject a new offered flow is pushed to the edge of the IP network. Proposed solutions differ in the degree of complexity required in internal network routers, and result in a different robustness and effectiveness in controlling the accepted traffic. This paper builds on a recently proposed distributed admission control solution, called GRIP (Gauge&Gate Reservation with Independent Probing), designed to integrate the …
Specific protocol (SENSLOG) over TCP/IP for sensors applications
2005
The objective is to obtain an embedded system using a microcontroller that will communicate with other devices over a specific protocol (SENSLOG) over TCP/IP for sensors applications. The protocol has been designed for this application, but the commands are generic. They can be used for any type of sensing. We must take into account that this program will run in a microcontroller and it will communicate with another program running in a PC. The protocol is based on commands, like SMTP. From the PC we will send commands to the microcontroller to do specific tasks, and if it is necessary, the microcontroller will answer to the PC. Some of the functions designed for this protocol are: to contr…
