Integration of mobile networks and Internet has started with 2.5 generation of mobile cellular networks. Internet traffic is today dominant traffic type worldwide. The hanger for higher data rates needed for data traffic and new IP based services is essential in the development of future wireless networks. In such situation, even 3G with up to 2 Mbit/s has not provided data rates that are used by Internet users with fixed broadband dial-up or through wired local area networks. The solution to provide higher bit rates in wireless access network has been found in wireless LAN although initially it has been developed to extend wired LAN into wireless domain. In this paper, we propose and describe a solution created for interoperability between mobile cellular network and WLAN. The integration between two networks, cellular and WLAN, is performed on the authentication, authorization, and accounting, i.e., AAA side. For that purpose we developed WLAN access controller and WLAN AAA gateway, which provide gateway-type access control as well as charging and billing functionalities for the WLAN service. In the development process of these elements, we have considered current development stadium of all needed network entities and protocols. The provided solution provides cost-effective and easy-to-deploy PLMN-WLAN Internetworking scenario.

As a promising technology that enables ubiquitous computing and will lead the information technology industries of the next generation, the new field of sensor networks is one of the most active research topics today. From now on, each node, the network formation, and even the sensor network itself will interact with the generic network and evolve dynamically according to environmental changes, in a process of continual creation and extinction. In this paper, we propose a address-Internetworking scheme for interactive networking between a sensor network and the Internet based on the TCP port-numbers. The proposed scheme enables internetworking between a sensor network address scheme based on Zigbee and the Internet address scheme based on the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). We implement the proposed address-Internetworking scheme using Berkeley TinyOS, Mica Motes, and IP. In addition we verify the proposed scheme by an interconnection experiment, which involves wireless sensor networks and the Internet, using IPv4/IPv6.

A multitude of overlay network designs for resilient routing, multicasting, quality of service, content distribution, storage, and object location have been proposed. Overlay networks offer several attractive features, including ease of deployment, flexibility, adaptivity, and an infrastructure for collaboration among hosts. In this paper, we explore cooperation among co-existing, possibly heterogeneous, overlay networks. We discuss a spectrum of cooperative forwarding and information sharing services, and investigate the associated scalability, heterogeneity, and security problems. Motivated by these services, we design Synergy, a utility-based overlay internetworking architecture that fosters overlay cooperation. Our architecture promotes fair peering relationships to achieve synergism. Results from Internet experiments with cooperative forwarding overlays indicate that our Synergy prototype improves delay, throughput, and loss performance, while maintaining the autonomy and heterogeneity of individual overlay networks.

ATM 통신망의 성공 및 확산을 위해서는 신규서비스의 창출과 함께 기존 서비스의 가격 경쟁력 있는 수용이 요구되는데, 인터넷 (IP)은 그 사용자 및 서비스의 수요를 고려할 때 ATM 망에서 가장 먼저 수용해야 할 서비스로서 현재 ATM 통신망에서의 인터넷 수용방안이 다양하게 논의되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전력정보통신망을 전제로 하여 ATM WAN 통신망에서의 IP 서비스 수용에 관심을 두고 이를 위한 두 가지 방안으로 LAN Emulation 모델과 간단한 형태의 IP Internetworking 모델을 설정하고, LAN 과 WAN 접속구간의 서비스 카테고리가 ABR(Available Bit Rate)과 UBR(Unspecified Bit Rate)인 경우에 대해서 각 모델별로 적용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 성능 비교를 위해 TCP 계층과 ATM 계층에서의 end-to-end delay를 분석한 결과, LAN-Emulation 모델을 적용하는 경우 간단한 형태의 IP Internetworking 모델에서 보다 성능효율이 우수하고, LAN과 WAN 접속구간의 서비스 카테고리는 백본 ATM 교환기와 Edge 단말에서의 버퍼크기가 동일한 경우 ABR이 UBR보다 성능효율이 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we consider the strategy of Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) internetworking that provide the seamless vertical handover for mobile nodes. We propose Mobility Anchor Points (MAP) based UMTS/WLAN internetworking architecture to support the vertical handover. Also, on integrated UMTS/WLAN networks, we propose a vertical handover scheme that avoids the call blocking caused by the network resource shortage. We provide the numerical analysis to investigate the performance evaluation to the proposed scheme and compare the proposed scheme with the existing scheme.

In this paper, the structural design of optical Internet is analyzed and by using UNI (User Network Interface) signaling protocol an optical transmission experiment was performed. The hierarchical structure of the basic optical Internet consists of the backbone network, the service network and the access network. The necessary functions for each layer were described as follows: Control structure of the optical transport layer, network operation and management structure, internetworking technology of sub networks, routing and signaling technology. By using UNI signaling protocol from OIF (Optical Internetworking Forum), the optical transmission in the proposed structure of the optical Internet network was experimented. By the traffic generation of LSP (Label Switched Path) data packets along the route-configuration was delivered to UNI. Finally, by showing the value of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) packets the optical transmission was completely and successfully demonstrated.

In this paper, we propose an architecture for communication between the IPv4-based UA and the IPv6-based UA in IMS based Mobile Networks, and design and implement the IMS protocol Translator for verification of the architecture. For the design of the internetworking between the IPv4 and the IPv6, we analyze the transition mechanisms and investigate the protocol translator. The IMS protocol translator is composed of the IMS-ALG(IP Multimedia Subsystem - Application Level Gateway) and TrGW(Translation Gateway), and the conformance of these components are verified by experiments.

원본 콘텐츠를 분산된 지역 복제서버에 복사하여 사용자의 요청에 대해 가까운 복제서버가 서비스 하도록 하는 CDN 서비스는 빠른 웹 서비스에 크게 기여하였다. 그러나 각 CDN간의 연동이 이루어지지 않아 콘텐츠 제공자 입장에서는 과다 투자가 발생하고 사용자 입장에서는 가입하지 않은 CDN 네트워크의 복제서버가 더 가까이 있다하더라고 원거리의 CDN 로부터 서비스 받아야하는 문제가 발생한다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 CDN 네트워크간에 연동을 할 수 있는 CDI(Content Delivery Internetworking) 프로토콜을 설계하여 제안한다.
