    Network anomaly detection is essential for rapid fault recovery and increasing network reliability. This paper presents results of the utilization of digital signature of network segments (DSNS) for network servers to characterize the traffic that flow through the network servers. It's also presented an alarm system model that use the network servers' traffic characterization generated by DSNS. The obtained results validate the experiment and show in practice significant advantages in networks management. © 2005 IEEE.2005290295Barford, P., Kline, J., Plonka, D., Ron, A., A signal analysis of network traffic anomalies, internet measurement workshop (2002) Proceedings of the Second ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Internet Measurement, , Marseille, ISBN:1-58113-603-XThottan, M., Ji, C., Anomaly detection in IP networks (2003) Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on, 51 (8). , AugLakhina, A., Crovella, M., Diot, C., Diagnosing network-wide traffic anomalies (2004) SIGCOMM'04, , Portland, Oregon, USA, ISBN: 1-58113-862-8Rueda, A., Kinsner, A survey of traffic characterization techniques in telecommunication networks (1996) Electrical and Computer Engineering, 1996.

    Dependency Graph To Improve Notifications' Semantic On Anomaly Detection

    No full text
    Besides identifying anomalies, detection systems must offer additional information about the occurrence, aiming to help the network administrator in order to build an accurate diagnostic. This paper presents a lightweight approach to detect anomalies, improving the semantic power of notifications sent to network administrator. The key point of the proposed anomaly detection system is a correlation system based on a directed graph which represents the possible paths of anomaly propagation through the SNMP objects in a network element. The results obtained from initial tests were encouraging and showed that our system is able to detect anomalies on the monitored network element, avoiding the high false alarms rate. ©2008 IEEE.726729Cabrera, J.B.D., Lewis, L., Qin, X., Lee, W., Prasanth, R.K., Ravichandran, B., Mehra, R.K., Proactive Detection of Distributed Denial of Service Attacks using MIB Traffic Variables - A Feasibility Study (2001) Integrated Network Management Proceedings, 2001 IEEE/IFIP International Symposium on, pp. 609-622. , 14-18 maioLi, J., Manikopoulos, C., Early Statistical Anomaly Intrusion Detection of DOS Attacks Using MIB Traffic Parameters (2003) Proceedings of the 2003 IEEE Workshop on Information Assurance, pp. 53-59. , United States Military Academy, p, junThottan, M., Ji, C., Anomaly Detection in IP Networks (2003) IEEE Transactions in Signal Processing, 51 (8), pp. 2191-2204. , augW.

    Three Levels Network Analysis For Anomaly Detection

    No full text
    Anomaly detection is fundamental to ensure reliability and security in computer networks. In this work, it is proposed an anomaly detection system that monitors the network in three different levels. In the first one, data is collected from Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) objects and compared to profiles of normal traffic, in order to detect behavior changes. Second level of analysis includes a dependency graph that represents the relationships between SNMP objects. It is used to analyze first level alerts, confirming the occurrence of anomalies in device level. In the third level of analysis, second level alerts are grouped according to network topology information, and network administrators are informed about the context where the anomaly occurred. Tests were performed in a real network environment and good results were obtained.281285 IEEE Communications SocietyPark, A.P.E.J.M., An overview of anomaly detection techniques: Existing solutions and latest technological trends (2007) Computer Networks, V. 51 (12), pp. 3448-3470Thottan, M., Ji, C., Anomaly detection in IP networks (2003) IEEE Transactions in Signal Processing, V. 51 (8), pp. 2191-2204Denning, D.E., An intrusion-detection model (1987) IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 13 (2), pp. 222-232Barford, P., Kline, J., Plonka, D., Ron, A., A signal analysis of network traffic anomalies (2002) Proceedings of the 2nd ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Internet Measurement, pp. 71-82Lakhina, A., Crovella, M., Diot, C., Diagnosing network- wide traffic anomalies (2004) ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review, Proc. of the 2004 Conference on Applications, Technologies, Architectures, and Protocols for Computer Communications, 34, pp. 219-230Kim, S.S., Reddy, A.L.N., Statistical techniques for detecting traffic anomalies through packet header data (2008) IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, 16 (3)Androulidakis, G., Chatziqiannakis, V., Papavassiliou, S., Network anomaly detection and classification via opportunistic sampling (2009) IEEE Network, 23 (1), pp. 6-12Ringberg, H., Soule, A., Rexford, J., Diot, C., Sensitivity of PCA for traffic anomaly detection (2007) Proceedings of the 2007 ACM SIGMETRICS International Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems, pp. 109-120Farraposo, S., Owezarski, P., Monteiro, E.E., A multi- scale tomographic algorithm for detecting and classifying traffic anomalies (2007) Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Communications 2007, pp. 363-370Stallings, W., (1998) SNMP, SNMPv2, SNMPv3, and RMON 1, 2 and 3, , Addison-WesleyMccloghrie, K., Rose, M., Management information base for network management of TCP/IP-based internet: MIB-II (1991) RFC 1213, , marProença Jr., M.L., Coppelmans, C., Bottoli, M., Mendes, L.S., The hurst parameter for digital signature of network segment (2004) 11th International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT 2004), pp. 772-78

    Investigation of geometrical properties of single-phase local resonators in the formation of bandgaps in three-dimensional elastic metamaterials

    No full text
    Elastic metamaterials – man-made resonant structures exhibiting unusual functionalities – have shown promising results for controlling structural vibration, specially at a low frequency regime. Such functionalities rely on the presence of resonant bandgaps, which consists of a frequency band where waves cannot propagate in response to the out-of-phase motion of the local resonators. Usually, the contrast between the properties of different material phases in such resonators results on the resonant effect, however, the manufacturing of such multi-phase structures is challenging and can be a high-cost process. This work proposes a parametric investigation of an elastic metamaterial constituted by single-phase local resonators. The bandgap formation in such structure depends on the geometrical properties of the resonators, instead of the material parameters. This analysis allows us to understand which geometrical features are sensitive to the position of the resonant bandgaps and its width. Designing such single-phase resonators provides an alternative to manufacture low-cost structures for engineering application.Transport Engineering and Logistic

    Cell Transfer Delay Monitoring In Atm Networks

    No full text
    One of the main features of ATM networks is to allow the establishment of connections with different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. The monitoring of QoS parameters is fundamental to help network management decisions control traffic contracts. In this paper we present an in-service procedure to monitor end-to-end cell delay in ATM connections through OAM performance management cells. This procedure does not need to use synchronization between network elements in order to accomplish cell monitoring.194203Black, U., (1995) ATM: Foundation For Broadband Networks, , Prentice Hall, London(1999) Traffic Management Specification, Version 4.1, , ATM Forum, AF-TM-0121.000, MarchHuang, A., (1998) Advanced Traffic Management For Multiservice ATM Networks.

    Structural adjustment, ownership transformation, and size in Polish industry

    Get PDF
    The authors argue that significant adjustment took place in Polish industry after Poland's 1990 reforms. They analyze data on two- and three-digit manufacturing industries, disaggregated by firm ownership and size. By applying a statistical model to labor productivity growth, they try to disentangle structural determinants of the recovery from cyclical determinants. They contend that structural determinants outweigh cyclical ones. They find that the productive response of state enterprises was markedly different from that of private firms--private firms outperformed state enterprises (just as anecdotal evidence suggested). Size also matters, at least among private firms. Generally, there seem to be increasing returns to scale for private firms, except for very large enterprises (many of which were previously state-owned and may need further restructuring). The fact that size does not appear to matter among public enterprises suggests that several of them have not yet adopted optimal technologies and production processes.Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Financial Management,Labor Policies,Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Financial Management,Economic Theory&Research,Health Monitoring&Evaluation

    The Hurst Parameter For Digital Signature Of Network Segment

    No full text
    This paper presents results of the Hurst parameter for digital signature of network segments. It's also presented a model for digital signature automatic generation which aims at the characterization of traffic in network segments. The use of the digital signature allows the manager to: identify limitations and crucial points of the network; establish the real use of network resources; better control the use of resources and the establishment of thresholds for the generation of more accurate and intelligent alarms which suit the real network characteristics. The obtained results validate the experiment and show in practice significant advantages in networks management. © Springer-Verlag 2004.3124772781Barford, P., Kline, J., Plonka, D., Ron, A., A signal analysis of network traffic anomalies, Internet Measurement Workshop (2002) Proceedings of the Second ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Internet Measurement, , Marseille, ISBN:1-58113-603-XThottan, M., Ji, C., Anomaly detection in IP networks (2003) Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on, 51 (8). , AugPapavassiliou, S., Pace, M., Zawadzki, A., Ho, L., Implementing enhanced network maintenance for transaction access services: Tools and applications, Communications, 2000.

    [Review of] E. San Juan, Jr. From Exile to Diaspora: Versions of the Filipino Experience in the U.S.

    Get PDF
    The author has written an excellent summary of the little known events in Filipino history in the Philippines and the history of the Filipino community in the U.S., a history of over four hundred years that covers the colonial oppression, and resistance first to Spain and then the United States. He attributes the fractured Filipino identity, one that is fissured by ambivalence, opportunism, and schizoid loyalties, to the colonial experiences under these two western European powers. In his brilliant analysis of the literature he uses a historical materialist theoretical framework (22)
