Systems, methods, and machine-readable and executable instructions are provided for preventing a memory attack to a wireless access point (AP). Preventing a memory attack to a wireless access point can include receiving, with a wireless AP, a generic advertisement service (GAS) initial request from a querying station and transmitting, with the wireless AP, a GAS initial response to the querying station without querying an advertisement server based on the GAS initial request.

Preventing a memory attack to a wireless access point

A first request is sent from a station to an access point. The station receives a first response from the access point that includes a first sequence number, and stores the first sequence number. The station sends a second request to the access point and sets a waiting period for receiving a response from the access point. The station receives a second response from the access point and a third response from a second access point during the waiting period. The second response includes a second sequence number and the third response includes a third sequence number. The station determines that the second response is a legitimate response by comparing the second and third sequence numbers to the first sequence number.

Determining a legitimate access point response

A server interconnection system includes three switches each having n downlink ports and an uplink port, wherein n is an integer equal to or larger than 2; and m servers each having at least two network interface cards respectively connected to downlink ports of different switches, wherein m=3p/2, p is an even number equal to or larger than 2 but equal to or less than n, wherein every three servers form a group. A first server connects to a downlink port of a first switch and a downlink port of a second switch via two network interface cards. A second server connects to a downlink port of the first switch and a downlink port of a third switch via two network interface cards. A third server connects to a downlink port of the second switch and a downlink port of the third switch via two network interface cards.

The present disclosure provides an addressing method, an addressing apparatus, a fabric manager, a switch, and a data routing method for data center networks. The addressing apparatus includes a tree creating unit for, sequentially with each of switches as a root, creating a tree containing all hosts by means of network topology discovery function, to obtain a plurality of trees; a tree selecting unit for selecting a tree having a minimum height among the created plurality of trees; and an address assigning unit for assigning addresses to each of switches and each of hosts in a network with respect to each selected tree having a minimum height. The present disclosure is adaptable to various topologies employed by the data center. The present disclosure can achieve aggregation of locator addresses so that a forwarding table can be shortened, and can achieve load balance of the network.

The invention provides a server, a method and a system for providing node information for P2P network. A server in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network comprises: a location information storage unit which stores coordinate information indicating a coordinate of each data node in the P2P network in a coordinate system that is created based on communication delays among data nodes in the P2P network; and a node information providing unit which, upon receipt of a request for information on data nodes having a first data item, selects one or more data nodes from data nodes having the first data item based on the coordinate information, and provides information indicating the selected one or more data nodes.

Server, method and system for providing node information for P2P network

There are disclosed a network interference evaluating method, a dynamic channel assignment method and apparatus used in wireless networks. The dynamic channel assignment method used in a wireless network, comprising steps of: calculating each pair of visual delayed time for each pair of basic service sets based on received signal strength indicators, traffic information and rate information, and evaluating an overall network interference under a current channel allocation based on the calculated visual delayed time; constructing an undirected graph so that each basic service set is located at a vertex, and each connection line between each pair of basic service sets has a weight obtained from the pair of visual delayed time for this pair of basic service sets; coloring the undirected graph to get a new channel allocation approach and an optimized minimal overall network interference under this new channel allocation approach; comparing a difference between the evaluated overall network interference under the current channel allocation and the optimized minimal overall network interference with a predetermined threshold; and changing channel allocation for the basic service sets according to the new channel allocation approach if the difference is larger than the predetermined threshold.

Network interference evaluating method, dynamic channel assignment method and apparatus used in wireless networks

Methods, devices and system for access point facilitated fast handoff are provided. Each access point (AP) in a wireless local area network is provided with a primary interface and a secondary interface wherein the primary interface performs normal communication with user terminals and broadcasts standard beacon frames on its working channel, and the secondary interface broadcasts extended beacon frames on working channels of neighbor APs sequentially. The extended beacon frame includes at least information of BSSID, SSID, working channel and the like of the primary interface of the corresponding AP. The user terminal may receive the standard beacons from the serving AP it is communicating with and the extended beacons from the neighbor APs, and according to the two kinds of beacons, the terminal may calculate the signal quality with the primary interface of the serving AP and the signal qualities with the neighbor APs at the current position. By an algorithm of comparing the signal qualities of the best neighbor AP and the serving AP, the terminal may accurately and quickly determine whether to perform handoff with minimized cost.
