- Internetworking: Research and Experience is a quarterly, refereed,
- journal published by Wiley (D. Comer, R. Droms, D. Estrin, and L.
- Svobodova are the Editors). In the upcoming two issues of the journal
- (last issue of 1992, and first issue of 1993) there are several
- papers of interest to the ISOC community:
-
- "Injecting Inter-autonomous system routes into Intra-autonomous system
- routing: a Performance Analysis", by Yakov Rekhter (IBM) and Bilal
- Chinoy (SDSC), evaluates a technique that injects
- only partial reachability information from inter-domain routing
- into intra-domain routing. When less inter-domain information is
- injected, more encapsulation may be needed in order to traverse the
- intra-domain portions of inter-domain paths.
-
- "Distributed Delay Jitter Control in Packet-Switching Internetworks",
- by Domenico Ferrari (UCBerkeley), proposes a mechanism for delay
- jitter control that can coexist with other schemes for jitter
- control (including no control) within the same network, the same
- node, and even the same real-time channel. THe mechanism guarantees
- low jitter even with loosely synchronized clocks and it makes the
- distribution of buffer space requirements more uniform along the
- route.
-
- "Design of an ATM-FDDI Gateway", by Sanjay Kapoor (Washington Univ),
- Milind Buddhikot (Washington Univ), and Gurudata Parulkar (Washington
- Univ), presents a detailed design of an gateway aimed at providing
- high performance internetworking between these two important classes
- of networks. The tasks are divided into critical path tasks, such as packet
- processing, for hardware implementation; and non-critical path tasks
- such as connection, resource, and route management, for software
- implementation.
-
- "Recent Changes to Privacy Enhanced Electronic Mail", by Matt Bishop
- (Dartmouth), is a short paper that describes the changes in message
- format and certificate based key management infrastructure for the PEM
- protocols which provide confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity
- for electronic mail.
