The distributed nature and dynamic topology of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)
introduces very special requirements in routing protocols that should be met. The most …

In recent years, industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs) have emerged as an important
research theme with applications spanning a wide range of industries including automation …

In Named Data Networking (NDN) architecture, packets carry data names rather than source
or destination addresses. This change of paradigm leads to a new data plane: data …

Link failures are part of the day-to-day operation of a network due to many causes such as
maintenance, faulty interfaces, and accidental fiber cuts. Commonly deployed link state …

A unique feature of Named Data Networking (NDN) is that its forwarding plane can detect
and recover from network faults on its own, enabling each NDN router to handle network …

Many studies show that, when Internet links go up or down, the dynamics of BGP may cause
several minutes of packet loss. The loss occurs even when multiple paths between the …

When using link-state protocols such as OSPF or IS-IS, forwarding loops can occur
transiently when the routers adapt their forwarding tables as a response to a topological …

Distributed routing algorithms may give rise to transient loops during path recomputation,
which can pose significant stability problems in high-speed networks. We present a new …

IP Fast ReRoute (IPFRR) is the IETF standard for providing fast failure protection in IP and
MPLS/LDP networks and Loop Free Alternates (LFA) is a basic specification for …

With the emergence of voice over IP and other real-time business applications, there is a
growing demand for an IP network with high service availability. Unfortunately, in today's …
