- Differential Delay Aware Routing for Ethernet Over SONET/SDH
- The Virtual Concatenation protocol in SONET/SDH has ushered in a novel routing paradigm that enables a circuit to be "Split" and routed over multiple paths. However, this diverse routing causes differential delay among the paths which can impact service if not accounted for in the routing. This paper introduces the...

- Policy-Controlled Event Management for Distributed Intrusion Detection
- A powerful strategy in intrusion detection is the separation of surveillance mechanisms from a site's policy for processing observed events. The Bro intrusion detection system has been using the notion of policy-neutral events as the basic building blocks for the formulation of a site's security policy since its conception. A...
