Consistency Verification of Stateful Firewalls Is Not Harder Than the Stateless Case

Firewalls play an important role in the enforcement of access control policies in contemporary networks. However, firewalls are effective only if they are configured correctly such that their access control rules are consistent and the firewall indeed implements the intended access control policy. Unfortunately, due to the potentially large number...

SOA services still too constrained by applications they represent

SOA services still too constrained by applications they representCan we have a collective DUH? :)SOA does not make sense. At lease not as envisioned and promoted. Stateless transactions are pretty limited, both in scope and power.

SOA services still too constrained by applications they represent

It almost seemed as if the whole bottom-up versus top-down argument for SOA had been settled, once and for all. The best approach from now on would be bottom-up, with some middle-out, or something like that. None of this "big bang" stuff. Business units will build focused, ROI-generating projects which...

SIFF: A Stateless Internet Flow Filter to Mitigate DDoS Flooding Attacks

One of the fundamental limitations of the Internet is the inability of a packet flow recipient to halt disruptive flows before they consume the recipient's network link resources. Critical infrastructures and businesses alike are vulnerable to DoS attacks or flash-crowds that can incapacitate their networks with traffic floods. Unfortunately, current...

Active Endpoints beefs up visual SOA orchestration with added features and expanded OS support

ActiveVOS now allows Java objects to maintain state, significantly increasing the number of use cases that can be fulfilled using the POJO capabilities. Previously, developers could reuse POJOs as native web services, providing the ability to invoke stateless Java objects directly from a process. by Dana Gardner

How to Improve the Efficiency of IPv6 Handovers in IEEE 802.16 Networks

The first generation of fully conformant IEEE 802.16-based networks is being deployed throughout the world. Most of these networks do not support full mobility, due to radio access layer limitations. Newer solutions, based on IEEE 802.16-2005 standard, offer mobility support for subscriber stations. Unfortunately, after quickly changing the point of...
