Recently, the importance of IPTV providing multimedia service over IP based networks managed to provide the required level of quality of service and experience, security, interactivity and reliability has been gradually increasing by the commercialization of its service. However, the original purposes of IPTV service - contents are produced and consumed anytime, anywhere, and over any device at the same time - have not been satisfied by service providers because most services offered by service providers depend on closed IPTV platform. In this paper, we propose an open IPTV service platform that an individual or small company can easily produce contents and offer IPTV service independently from the existing closed IPTV platform.. The proposed IPTV platform exploits overlay multicast scheme to offer reasonable service under the environment where network bandwidth and processor resource are limited. It also uses CDN-like scheme to ensure the quality of transmitted contents. The performance evaluation shows that the proposed IPTV platform has the possibility of being an open IPTV platform considering its results such as the quality of transmitted contents, the transmission rate, the channel zapping time, and so on. It also shows that proposed IPTV platform could be applied to real IPTV service with continuous enhancement of its functions and user interfaces.

This paper suggests a congestion control scheme for CL (ConnectionLess) overlay network using the feedback loops between CL user and CL server, between CL servers, and between end-to-end CL users, and the header translation table of CL server. The CL overlay network for CBDS(Connectionless Broadhand Data Service) defined by ITU-T((International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication) consists of CL servers which route frames and links which connect between CL user and CL server or between CL servers. In the CL overlay network, two kinds of congestion, CL link congestion and CL server congestion, may occur. We considered the schemes to solve the congestion. link-by-link method[18] has used the ABR feedback loops of ATM layer between CL user and CL server or between CL servers, and the congestion table using header translation table of CL server. As in congestion of output virtual channel this method has an effect on all the traffic transmitting through the link, then it has an effect on the traffic that has not caused the congestion. As a result, the link utilization of output virtual channel that does not bring the congestion and outputs the traffic is decreased. To overcome this drawback of link-by-link, we proposed the hybrid method that are using the ABR feedback loops of link-by-link method, the feedback loop between CL users in end-to-end, the congestion table using and the header translation table. This scheme deals with teh congestion immediately by link-by-link loops and the header translation table, and then regulates the sending rate of CL user that causes the congestion by end-to-end loop.

Content-centric networking (CCN) is a future Internet technology to reorganize the paradigm of end-to-end communication of the current IP-based Internet architecture into a content-based paradigm. In managing such new networks, the network management is one of the most important functions. The standard for typical network management in existing IP networks is Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Though there have been several works to implement network management functions on CCN, they have their own limitations to apply them to pure CCN operational environments. The basic reason of the limitation is that existing methods operate in an IP-overlay structure, or do not support push-type information exchange. In this paper, we propose a new naming structure that can accommodate both pull and push-type SNMP methods for CCN network management with SNMP. Then, methods to support GET and TRAP methods as well as a SET method of SNMP in the pure CCN environment using the proposed naming structure are proposed. We implement the proposed method using CCNx, and construct a CCN network testbed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method by monitoring appropriate exchange of SNMP messages over the testbed.

In this paper, we designed, constructed and evaluated the system for the FTTH suited to a residence and apartment using CWDM-PON techniques. These systems have capacity to service at 100Mbps rate to 384 users in the same breath. Also, the services include the internet, CATV, IPTV and wireless LAN. In the case of ire network, the data could be transmitted by UTP cable and optical fiber and case of wireless one, the data transmitted using WLAN. The distance between the cental office and the user is 20km and the data rate is 100Mbps maximum. Of course, the optical network used just one fiber optical core. For the basic material, we obtained the characteristics of optical transceiver module, Mux/Demux and transmission qualities depends on the environment.

Networked virtual environments (NVEs) are distributed systems where geographically dispersed users interact with each other in virtual worlds by exchanging network messages. Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) is one of diverse applications where more than hundreds of users enjoy experiencing virtual worlds. A limited area called area of interest (AOI) in MMOG is reduced the load caused by message exchange between users. Voronoi-based Overlay Network (VON) is proposed to reduce the bandwidth consumption in P2P environments and Vorocast also is made using message forwarding in VON. We propose a dynamic AOI management method that solves problems such as a consistency and latency due to forwarding position updates to neighbor nodes from the message originator in forwarding scheme. Our scheme provides the consistency and reduces latency by combining direct connection scheme and Vorocast scheme compared to existing schemes. The communication between a user and users existing in center circle within AOI of the user is directly connected and the communication between the user and users existing outside the center area within AOI is using Vorocast scheme. The proposed model is evaluated through simulations.

This study compares the perspectives of experts and the public on the 2015 revised curriculum. To do this, research papers and newspaper articles were collected from October 2013 to May 2020. During this period, 1152 research papers and 692 newspaper articles were collected, and semantic network analysis was performed. As a result of the study, the educational expert group showed great interest in the core concept of the development of the revised curriculum focused on the abstract concept, while the public focused on the practical problems and consequences of the revision rather than the development of the revised curriculum itself. These results not only show the gap between the perspectives of the educational expert group and the public but also raise the need for effective communication to bridge the gap.

In this study, we design an applicable model enabling internet protocol television (IPTV) service providers to use a virtual network (VN) for IPTV service delivery. The model addresses the guaranteed service delivery, cost effectiveness, flexible control, and scalable network infrastructure limitations of backbone or IP overlay-based content networks. There are two major challenges involved in this research: i) The design of an efficient, cost effective, and reliable virtual network topology (VNT) for IPTV service delivery and the handling of a VN allocation failure by infrastructure providers (InPs) and ii) the proper approach to reduce the cost of VNT recontruction and reallocation caused by VNT allocation failure. Therefore, in this study, we design a more reliable virtual network topology for solving a single virtual node, virtual link, or video server failure. We develop a novel optimization objective and an efficient VN construction algorithm for building the proposed topology. In addition, we address the VN allocation failure problem by proposing VNT decomposition and reconstruction algorithms. Various simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed VNT, as well as that of the associated construction, decomposition, and reconstruction algorithms in terms of reliability and efficiency. The simulation results are compared with the findings of existing works, and an improvement in performance is observed.

It is strongly believed that multicast will become one of the most promising services on internet for the next generation. Multicast service can be deployed either on network-layer or application-layer. IP multicast (network-layer multicast) is implemented by network nodes (i.e., routers) and avoids multiple copies of the same datagram on the same link. Despite the conceptual simplicity of IP multicast and its obvious benefits, it has not been widely deployed since there remain many unresolved issues. As an alternative to IP multicast, overlay multicast (application-layer multicast) implements the multicast functionality at end hosts rather than routers. This may require more overall bandwidth than IP multicast because duplicate packets travel the same physical links multiple times, but it provides an inexpensive, deployable method of providing point-to-multipoint group communication. In this paper we develop an efficient method applied greedy algorithm for solving two models of overlay multicast routing protocol that is aimed to construct MDST (Minimum Diameter Spanning Tree : minimum cost path from a source node to all its receivers) and MST (Minimum Spanning Tree : minimum total cost spanning all the members). We also simulate and analyze MDST and MST.

To transmit vital signal stream of mobile patients remotely, it requires mobility of patient and watcher, sensing function of patient's abnormal symptom and self-organizing service binding of related computing resources. In the existing relative researches, the vital signal stream is transmitted as a centralized approach which exposure the single point of failure itself and incur data traffic to central server although it is localized service. Self-organizing middleware platform based on heterogenous overlay network is a middleware platform which can transmit real-time data from sensor device(including vital signal measure devices) to Smartphone, TV, PC and external system through overlay network applied self-organizing mechanism. It can transmit and save vital signal stream from sensor device autonomically without arbitration of management server and several receiving devices can simultaneously receive and display through interaction of nodes in real-time.

Pastry overlay network is one of structured P2Ps using DHT(Distributed Hash Table). To reduce the number of messages among nodes, Rosary and LAR have been proposed by exploiting spatial locality and caching, respectively, in the Pastry. Rosary consists of Inter-Pastry and Intra-Pastry. A root node is assigned as a representative in each Intra-Pastry and it has the responsibility of Inter-Pastry and Intra-Pastry routing. Therefore, Rosary has several disadvantages; 1) low fault tolerance in case of root node failure 2) routing hop count increases because of the use of root nodes compared to the existing structured P2Ps, and 3) the communication load is concentrated in some specific areas. LAR has inefficient problems in that caching is not distributed among nodes in Intra-Pastry and caching is used by only nodes in the Intra-Pastry. In this paper, we propose an improved Pastry called Doughnut to overcome the above problems of Rosary and LAR. By dividing nodes with the local characteristics, the Doughnut consists of Inter-Pastry and Intra-Pastry, and all nodes have the responsibility of Inter-Pastry and Intra-Pastry routing. This results in that all nodes perform the role of the existing root node. This solves the problems of the reducing of fault-tolerance, the increasing of routing hop count, and the not-distributed communication load. Also Doughnut can use cache effectively because it guarantees the even cache distribution in local(Intra-Pastry) and the cache contents in local can be used in the other local. The proposed algorithm is implemented using simulator and the experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to the existing method.
