Passenger rail terminology – Other types of rail transit

Automated guideway transit refers to guided transit vehicles operating singly or in multi-car trains with fully automated control (no crew on transit units). Service may be on a fixed schedule or in response to a passenger-activated call button. Automated guideway transit includes personal rapid transit, group rapid transit and people mover systems. Personal rapid transit [...]

Identity driven networking – How it might work

Before a user gets to the network there is usually some form of machine authentication, this probably verifies and configures the system for some basic level of access. Short of mapping a user to a MAC address prior or during this process (802.1x) it is not simple to have users authenticate at this point. It [...]

22d Space Operations Squadron – Introduction

22d Space Operations Squadron (22 SOPS) is a United States Air Force unit of the 50th Network Operations Group, itself a part of the 50th Space Wing, and is located at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado. 22 SOPS develops, publishes, executes, and enforces the network operations tasking order, as well as operating and maintaining worldwide [...]

External Data Representation – Introduction

External Data Representation (XDR) is an IETF standard from 1995. It allows data to be wrapped in an architecture independent manner so data can be transferred between heterogeneous computer systems. Converting from the local representation to XDR is called ”encoding”. Converting from XDR to the local representation is called ”decoding”. XDR is implemented as a [...]

The Software Link – Products

* PC-MOS: an MS-DOS-like multiuser operating system with support for multi-tasking on serial terminals. * PC-MOS/386: a later version of PC-MOS using features not present on processors prior to the 80386. * LANLINK: a NetBIOS-ready local area network that leverages serial and parallel port connected platforms * MultiLink: a multitasking environment for DOS PC/MOS figured [...]

Ioctl – Uses

Hardware device configuration The most common use of ioctls is to control hardware devices. For example, on Win32 systems, ioctl calls are used to communicate with USB devices, or to discover drive geometry information for attached storage devices. Ioctls are used on Unix systems to configure the network interfaces. For example, on BSD Unix systems [...]

Advanced Learning and Research Institute – Coursework

Courses are the same for MSc (R&D or Business) and MAS programs. MAS students must complete 70 ECTS (including thesis) within one year; MSc students must complete the 120 ECTS in two years. Courses are 25h to 50h in length, and vary in difficulty level (L, M, H) by time and absorption. Courses MSc Year [...]

Printer Working Group – Introduction

Printer Working Group charter is to develop standards that make printers, operating systems and applications work better. In 1991 a consortium of printer and network manufacturers (Insight Development, Intel, LAN Systems, Lexmark and Texas Instruments) formed the Network Printing Alliance (NPA). Later members included QMS, Kyocera, GENICOM, Okidata, Unisys, Canon, IBM, Kodak, Adaptec, Tektronix, Digital [...]

IP address spoofing – Defense against spoofing

Packet filtering is one defense against IP spoofing attacks. The gateway to a network usually performs ingress filtering, which is blocking of packets from outside the network with a source address inside the network. This prevents an outside attacker spoofing the address of an internal machine. Ideally the gateway would also perform egress filtering on [...]
