Reliable Anycast and Unicast Routing: Protection against Attacks
PublicationObecne sieci są przeważnie chronione przed awariami losowymi, a topologie sieci są w większości uznawane za regularne. Znane mechanizmy ochrony dotyczą typowo transmisji unicast (jeden-do-jednego). Jednakże w związku z obserwowaną konwergencją technologii/usług, inne odmiany transmisji (np. anycast - jeden-do-jednego-z-wielu) nabierają znaczenia. Co więcej, okazuje się, iż często awarie nie mają losowego charakteru, a topologie...
