Multicast routing in datagram internetworks and extended LANs
TLDR
In this paper, the authors specify extensions to two common internetwork routing algorithms (distancevector routing and link-state routing) to support low-delay datagram multicasting beyond a single LAN, and discuss how the use of multicast scope control and hierarchical multicast routing allows the multicast service to scale up to large internetworks.Abstract:
Multicasting, the transmission of a packet to a group of hosts, is an important service for improving the efficiency and robustness of distributed systems and applications. Although multicast capability is available and widely used in local area networks, when those LANs are interconnected by store-and-forward routers, the multicast service is usually not offered across the resulting internetwork. To address this limitation, we specify extensions to two common internetwork routing algorithms—distance-vector routing and link-state routing—to support low-delay datagram multicasting beyond a single LAN. We also describe modifications to the single-spanning-tree routing algorithm commonly used by link-layer bridges, to reduce the costs of multicasting in large extended LANs. Finally, we discuss how the use of multicast scope control and hierarchical multicast routing allows the multicast service to scale up to large internetworks.read more

A suggested testbed to evaluate multicast network and threat prevention performance of Next Generation Firewalls
TL;DR: A flexible testbed is proposed for the first time, that can evaluate Next Generation Firewalls in terms of security and multicast networking performances and showed that NGFWs can be used as both rendezvous points in Layer 3 and bridge mode in Layer 2 in multicast networks successfully.

Distributed registration and key distribution for online universities
TL;DR: It is argued that universities have to cooperate with commercial service providers to disseminate lectures to a wide audience, and that this cooperation requires new techniques with regard to the registration, validation, and certification of the parties involved, such as professors, service providers, and students.

Dynamic Programming
TL;DR: The more the authors study the information processing aspects of the mind, the more perplexed and impressed they become, and it will be a very long time before they understand these processes sufficiently to reproduce them.

TL;DR: The basis of this book is the material contained in the first six chapters of the earlier work, The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms, and has added material on algorithms for external storage and memory management.
Internet Protocol
TL;DR: Along with TCP, IP represents the heart of the Internet protocols and has two primary responsibilities: providing connectionless, best-effort delivery of datagrams through an internetwork; and providing fragmentation and reassembly of data links to support data links with different maximum transmission unit (MTU) sizes.
