-It is very important to allocate and manage resources for multimedia type of data traffic flows with real-time performance requirements in order to guarantee quality-ofservice (QoS). In this paper, we develop a scalable architecture and an algorithm for access control of real-time flows. Since individual management of each traffic flow on each transit router can cause a fundamental scalability problem in both data and control planes, we consider that each flow is classified at the ingress router and data flow is aggregated according to the class inside the core network as in a DiffServ framework. In our approach, access decision is made for each flow at the edge routers, but it is scalable because per-flow states are not maintained and the access algorithm is simple. In the proposed access control scheme, an admissible bandwidth, which is defined as the maximum rate of a flow that can be accommodated additionally while satisfying the delay performance requirements for both existing and new flows, is calculated based on the available bandwidth measured by edge routers. The admissible bandwidth is a entry for access control, and thus, it is very important to accurately estimate the acceptable bandwidth. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by taking a set of simulation experiments using bursty traffic flows.
Abstract-Though RFID provides automatic object identification, yet it is vulnerable to various security threats that put consumer and organization privacy at stake. In this work, we have considered some existing security protocols of RFID system and analyzed the possible security threats at each level. We have modified those parts of protocol that have security loopholes and thus finally proposed a modified four-level security model that has the potential to provide fortification against security threats.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
