US-Egypt Cooperative Research: Multicast Mobile Internet Protocol with Fault Tolerance Support.

0001579 Saadawi描述：该奖项旨在支持纽约城市大学城市学院电气工程系Tarek Saadawi博士和M. Nazih El-Derini，埃及亚历山大大学计算机科学系。 该项目的目的是提出一个架构，支持互联网协议（IP）多播主机使用本地注册移动IP协议的分层组织。 移动IP（M-IP）协议允许IP主机在不同网络之间移动，而无需拆除已建立的会话。 引入支持本地注册的M-IP系统以减少需要向位于远程的归属代理进行归属注册的次数。 在多播组成员频繁改变其位置的环境中提供支持IP多播的有效系统对于提供移动性支持的系统是一个挑战。 还将提出与本地注册M-IP系统中的容错相关的问题，以及建议的方法，以增强这种系统对归属代理和外地代理故障的鲁棒性。 模拟结果描述的性能建议的容错机制，以及理论分析将presented.Scope：美国PI具有显着的专业知识，在信息网络和电信，并在该地区的多媒体网络。 埃及PI在多媒体网络和信息网络领域也有丰富的经验。 他建立了中东最大的计算机网络之一。 这两位科学家根据他们的能力和设施分配了任务和责任。 预计此次合作将使研究人员受益，并有助于埃及不断扩大的互联网提供商行业。纽约市立大学的一名博士后研究员将参与这一项目。 该提案符合INT的目标，即支持在共同感兴趣的领域进行合作研究。 该项目得到了美国-埃及联合基金方案的支持，该方案向两国的科学家和工程师提供赠款，以开展这些合作活动。

0001579SaadawiDescription: This award is to support a collaborative project by Dr. Tarek Saadawi, Department of Electrical Engineering, the City College of the City University of New York, and Dr. M. Nazih El-Derini, Department of Computer Science, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt. The project is intended to present an architecture that supports Internet Protocol (IP) multicast for hosts using the local registration Mobile-IP protocol over hierarchical organization. The Mobile-IP (M-IP) protocol allows IP hosts to move between different networks without the need to tear down established sessions. The M-IP systems supporting local registration were introduced to reduce the number of times when home registration with the remotely located home agent is needed. Providing an efficient system that supports IP multicast in an environment where the multicast group members frequently change their location is a challenge for system providing mobility support. Also to be presented will be the issues associated with fault tolerance in local registration M-IP systems, as well as suggested approaches to enhance the robustness of such systems against both Home Agent and Foreign Agent failures. Simulation results describing the performance of the suggested fault tolerance mechanisms as well as theoretical analysis will be presented.Scope: The US PI has significant expertise in information networking and telecommunications, and in the area of multimedia networking. The Egyptian PI also has vast experience in the area of multimedia networking and information networking. He has built one of the largest computer networks in the Middle East. The two scientists have distributed tasks and responsibilities according to their capabilities and facilities. It is expected that the collaboration will benefit both researchers and help Egypt's expanding Internet Providers industry. A postdoctoral investigator at CUNY-City College will be involved in this project. This proposal meets the INT objective of supporting collaborative research in areas of mutual interest. This project is being supported under the US-Egypt Joint Fund Program, which provides grants to scientists and engineers in both countries to carry out these cooperative activities.
