In this paper, a serial wireless LAN virtual communication module that allows microprocessors to communicate wirelessly with other peripheral devices is developed as part of a study to build an online virtual experiment system that allows them to practice virtually anytime, anywhere in microprocessor application education in electrical and electronic control engineering. The developed module is connected to the microprocessor in the virtual experiment system through serial interface. The serial data is sent to and received from peripheral devices through the wireless LAN interface of the host computer where the virtual experiment software is being performed. In order to verify the function of the developed serial wireless LAN virtual communication module, experiments were conducted in which a microprocessor in the virtual experiment system exchanged data with an Android smartphone through a wireless LAN interface of a host computer. The developed serial wireless LAN communication module is expected to enable virtual microprocessors to communicate with surrounding real devices through wireless LAN, which can be efficiently used in microprocessor application education.

Network virtualization is an emerging technology for solving the rigidity of the physical network infrastructure. The innovative technique virtualizes all resources in the network, including the network links and nodes, and provides a number of virtual networks on a single network infrastructure. In order to realize a virtual network, a thorough and complete monitoring of all resources in the network should be performed firstly. OpenFlow is an open source stack for network virtualization. However, it is impossible to apply OpenFlow to AP-based legacy wireless LAN environment because OpenFlow targets ethernet-based LAN environment. In this paper, we implement an adaptor-styled virtual switch for AP-based wireless LAN through customizing the Open vSwitch which is a virtual switch of OpenFlow. The evaluation test results show that the implemented OpenFlow stack operates successfully. The implemented OpenFlow stack can now be plugged immediately in existing AP-based wireless LAN environment and plays network resource monitoring. In the future, we can develop wireless LAN virtualization applications on the wireless OpenFlow stack.

Security and degradation by broadcast is the most important part that must handle in LAN. Virtual LAN can improve LAN's degradation by method to form and manages network group logically. MAC Address VLAN algorithm that propose in this research give overlap special qualify to VLAN adding extension VID field and VID connection extent table to FDB, manage overlap extent dynamically. VLAN that apply this proposal algorithm can share information and resource in network without additional equipment. Application is possible switch or Bridge that this algorithm achieves Layer 2 functions.

Virtual LAN 은 기존의 LAN에 비해 물리적인 네트워크에 대해 브로드캐스트 도메인을 위한 사용자 그룹을 독립적으로 가진다. 그러나 Virtual LAN에서 DHCP를 통한 자동 주소 할당을 하는 경우 브로드캐스트 도메인으로 인한 DHCP 의 오동작을 일으켜 주소할당을 할 수 없게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 DHCP 의 오동작인 NAK Loop 문제를 알아보고 이를 보완하기 위한 유효 주소 인지 알고리즘을 제시한다. 그리고 그 결과는 실제실험실 환경에서의 프로토콜 분석기를 이용한 패킷 캡쳐를 통해 보여준다.

Virtual LAN (VLAN) is an architecture to enable communication between end stations as if they were on the same LAN regardless of their physical locations. VLAN defines a limited broadcast domain to reduce the bandwidth waste. The Newbridge Inc. developed a layer 3 VLAN product called VIVID, which configures a VLAN based on W subnet addresses. In a VIVID system, a single route server is deployed for address resolution, VLAN configuration, and data broadcasting to a VLAN. If the size of the network, over which the VLANS supported by the VIVID system spans, becomes larger, this single route server could become a bottleneck point of the system performance. One possible approach to cope with this problem is to deploy multiple route servers. We propose two architectures, organic and independent, to expand the original VIVID system to deploy multiple route servers. A course of simulations are done to analyze the performance of each architecture that we propose. The simulation results show that the performances of the proposed architectures depend on the lengths of VLAN broadcasting sessions and the number of broadcast data frames generated by a session. It has also been shown that there are tradeoffs between the scalability of the architecture and their efficiency in data transmissions.

This paper focuses on a method to connect mobile devices such as mobile robot, Automated Guided Vehicle(AGV) to a fieldbus. In this paper, the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN is used to extend a Profibus-DP network for the mobile devices. In order to integrate these two networks, a protocol converter is developed with two process(i.e., master process of Profibus-DP and virtual master process of IEEE 802.11) and an transmission buffer. Futhermore, a virtual polling algorithm is developed at the protocol conveter in order to satisfy real-time requirements on data communication.

ATM-LAN 스위칭 망에서 논리적인 브로드캐스트 도메인 서비스를 제공하는 가상랜을 정의하는 방법으로 LANE(LAN Emulation)을 사용할 수 있다. 이 때 LE 구성서버는 각 클라이언트에게 가상랜을 할당하고 관리한다. 본 논문에서는 서버 내에 정의된 정책과 구성 데이타베이스를 기반으로 하여 가상랜을 결정하는 기능을 설계하고 구현하였다. 또한 운영자가 쉽게 가상랜의 추가, 변경, 삭제 등의 기능을 수행할 수 있는 관리 모듈도 구현하였다. 이로서, LANE에서의 ELAN(Emulated LAN)을 가상랜으로 간주할 때 부족했던 동적인 가상랜을 지원할 수 있게 하였고, 운영자로 하여금 효율적오르 가상랜을 구성하고 관리할 수 있게 하였다.

Presented is a Genetic Algorithm(GA) for dynamic partitioning an ATM LANE(LAN Emulation) network. LANE proves to be one of the best solutions to provide guaranteed Quality of Service(QoS) for mid-size campus or enterprise networks with a little modification of legacy LAN facilities. However, there are few researches on the efficient LANE network operations to deal with scalability issues arising from broadcast traffic delivery. To cope with this scalability issue, proposed is a decision model named LANE Partitioning Problem(LPP) which aims at partitioning the entire LANE network into multiple Emulated LANs(ELANs), each of which works as an independent virtual LAN.
