INTERNET BASED EFFICIENT CONTENT DISTRIBUTION PROTOCOL FOR MANET

Torrent is one of the Internet's most efficient content distribution protocols. It is known to perform very well over the wired Internet where end-to-end performance is almost guaranteed. However, in wireless ad hoc networks many constraints appear as the scarcity of resources and their shared nature, which make running BitTorrent with its default configuration not lead to best performances. To these constraints it adds the fact that peers are both routers and end-users and that TCP-performance drops seriously with the number of hops. We show in this work that the neighbor selection mechanism in BitTorrent plays an important role in determining the performance of the protocol when deployed over a wireless ad hoc network. It is no longer efficient to choose and treat with peers independently of their location. A first solution is to limit the scope of the neighborhood. In this case, TCP connections are fast but there is no more diversity of pieces in the network: pieces propagate in a unique direction from the seed to distant peers. This prohibits peers from reciprocating data and leads to low sharing ratios and sub optimal utilization of network resources. To recover from these impairments, we propose an enhancement to torrent which aims to minimize the time to download the content and at the same time to enforce cooperation among peers. Our solution considers a restricted neighborhood to reduce routing overhead and to improve throughput, while establishing few connections to remote peers to improve diversity of pieces. With the help of extensive NS-2 simulations, we show that these enhancements to Torrent significantly improve the file completion time while fully profiting from the incentives implemented in Torrent to enforce fair sharing.

Link State Routing Protocol

Link state routing is a method in which each router shares its neighborhood’s knowledge with every other router on the internetwork. In this algorithm, each router in the network understands the network topology and then makes a routing table depending on this topology. Each router will share data about its connection to its neighbor, who will, consecutively, reproduce the data to its neighbors, etc. This appears just before all routers have constructed a topology of the network. In LSP, each node transmits its IP address and the MAC to its neighbor with its signature. Neighbors determine the signature and maintain a record of the combining IP address and the MAC. The Neighbor Lookup Protocol (NLP) of LSP derives and maintains the MAC and IP address of every network frame accepted by a node. The extracted data can support the mapping of MACs and IP addresses. The link-state flooding algorithm prevents the general issues of broadcast in the existence of loops by having every node mainta

Windows 11

Windows has always existed to be a stage for the world’s innovation. It’s been the backbone of global businesses and where scrappy startups became household names. The web was born and grew up on Windows. It’s the place where many of us wrote our first email, played our first PC game and wrote our first line of code. Windows is the place people go to create, to connect, to learn and to achieve – a platform over a billion people today rely on. The responsibility of designing for that many people is one we don’t take lightly. The past 18 months brought an incredible shift in how we used our PCs; we went from fitting the PC into our lives to trying to fit our whole lives into the PC. Our devices weren’t just where we went for meetings, classes and to get things done, but where we came to play games with friends, binge watch our favorite shows and, perhaps most meaningfully, connect with one another. In the process we found ourselves recreating the office banter, the hallway chatter, worko

Matter: A next generation home standard

The smart home is evolving. To date, if you've wanted to get into developing a smart home, you've had to deal with the multitude of smart home ecosystems, and making sure that each device you buy is compatible. That, however, may soon change — thanks to new smart home standard called Matter. Matter isn't available just yet, but when it is finally released, it could completely change how you buy smart home products, for the better. All of the best smart home devices could soon support the standard, helping them all work together nicely, and ensuring that no matter what products you buy, you'll be able to use them. Matter is basically the name of a new smart home connectivity standard . But this standard is a little unlike others. That's because of the fact that it's being developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance, which counts hundreds of companies as members. That includes the likes of Google, Alexa, and Apple. So, whether you prefer to use Google Assista
