Internet 0 is proposed as a local area network that supports extremely small network devices with very little capacity for computation, storage, or communication. Internet 0 addresses the issue of connecting very small, inexpensive devices such as lightbulbs and heating vents with their controllers. To achieve this effectively, Internet 0 assumes both that operating between communicating end-nodes should not require third-party support, and that IP will be available all the way to those end-nodes. Several simplifying assumptions are made in Internet 0 to achieve this. The objective of this paper is to explore issues of design in a context where federation of an Internet 0 net either with other Internet 0 nets or the global Internet becomes important. The question we ask is whether the end-node in such an Internet 0 needs to know more or behave differently in such a federated environment, and how one might achieve such federation. We explore three aspects of network design in this study: addressing and routing, traffic collision and congestion control, and security. In each case, based on analysis, we conclude that to reach our goals in a generalizable and extensible fashion, a third party service will be needed to act as an intermediary, and propose that a single service should provide all the required federation services. / Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA)

A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Computer Science) Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science and Agriculture, University of Zuluand, 2007. / With the rapid development of new applications, comes the drive to modify the current Internet to accommodate real-time multimedia applications. The current Internet uses a single queue per output port to buffer packets destined for that port. This often causes congestion leading to packet loss and delay. Real-time applications are delay and Joss sensitive. Therefore, there is a need to develop a buffer management system that will effectively accommodate both real-time and non-real-time applications. In an attempt to efficiently allocate and manage output buffers of a router in the fixture Internet, in this research we have developed a buffer management scheme known as Dynamic Threshold Buffer Allocation Scheme (DTBAS). This scheme uses complete sharing with virtual partitioning. Pre-emption (i.e. removal of queued packets) is used to minimise congestion of high priority packets. Dynamic thresholds are used to determine the start and end of pre-emption. To further alleviate the congestion of high priority (real-time) packets, high priority OUT-packets are randomly dropped during the pre-emption period. To add some fairness to the scheme, low priority (non-real-time) packets are assigned a minimum buffer volume. Simulation was conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The scheme was also compared with the Complete Sharing and Complete Partitioning schemes. It was found that DTBAS had the lowest average packet loss rate for real-time applications compared to other schemes. It was also found that DTBAS efficiently utilises its buffer space.

Over the last few decades, the Internet ecosystem has been continuously evolving to meet the demands of its ever-increasing user base. Drastic changes in the Internet infrastructure have improved its capacity and throughput performance, enabling a wealth of new services. For Internet Service Providers (ISPs), anticipating and accommodating the rapidly shifting traffic demands has been a technological, economical, and political challenge. Thus far, this challenge has been met in an "organic" fashion, for the most part, based on unilateral actions of many different players such as ISPs, content providers, public policy makers, international organizations, and large enterprises. This symbiotic relationship among many and often competing change factors has led to a system of enormous complexity that was not a product of well-founded engineering principles. Despite the continuous efforts of the scientific and enterprise communities to discover and to model the Internet, understanding its structure remains a hard challenge. In this thesis, we provide a new perspective on the Internet's evolutionary pat- terns at the Autonomous System (AS) level. While many studies have focused on the mathematical models that express the growth of the AS graph topology as a whole, little research has been performed to correlate this growth with geographic, economic, and political data, as well as related business interests. We divide the Internet to five distinct regions using the well-established Internet registry classification and show that the structural properties and evolutionary patterns differ from region to region. We further analyze the business relationships that dominate each region, as well relationships between regions. Conclusions from our analysis is used to explain global as well as local Internet structure phenomena.
