Full Abstract

The Zebra distributed routing software represents a new approach to managing the complexity of routing over the Internet. To be freely distributed under the GNU General Public License, Zebra supports BGP-4, RIP-1,2 and will support OSPFv2 and RIPng and so on. Zebra runs under kernels with multi-threading support as well as FreeBSD, Solaris, and Linux. Zebra's BGP daemon is currently running on the Route Server at the NSPIXP exchange point in Japan.

Full Abstract

The Internet is rapidly evolving to support multimedia applications. This presentation provides a high-level overview of selected activities being undertaken by the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) to develop and apply novel user-oriented, technology independent performance measures for audio, video, data, and multimedia communications systems. The presentation is aimed at facilitating dialogue on the role of quality-of-service and network performance assessment activities in support of Internet operation and evolution.

Full Abstract

Over the last serveral years the Internet has experienced an enormous growth in global ubiquity, implemented in a complex meshed interconnection across many service providers, while also experiencing significant shifts in workload profiles based on characteristics of new applications. In this growing phase the systemic Internet performance is at risk. One of the approaches to address the global "complexity diameter" is to create satellite networks with world-wide coverage and performance characteristics resembling conventional terrestrial connections. In the case of Teledesic, a constellation of hundreds of Low Earth Orbit satellites is planned to create a global high performance "Internet in the sky," that will enable affordable access to fiber-like telecommunications capability anywhere in the world. Offering this kind of global high quality communications services presents intriguing challenges in network architecture and performance analysis, including in its integration into the global Internet community.
