One of the main issues of Mobile IPv6 is handover latency that causes service disruption time. Although plenty of proposals significantly reduce the service disruption time, they suffer from redundant routing that causes packet misordering and bandwidth consumption during the process of inter-domain handover. In this paper, we propose a new scheme that minimizes the redundant routing during the process of inter-domain handover by utilizing forwarding routers for each correspondent node. Our proposed scheme consists of forwarding router discovery and proactive handover. We evaluate our proposed scheme in the view of packet misordering and bandwidth consumption, and clarify the efficiency of our proposed scheme. We also evaluate the impact of the forwarding routers' capacity since routers have limited resources. By strategically locating forwarding routers, e.g. next to the router that has peering to another domain, the redundant routing caused by inter-domain handover will be efficiently suppressed.
This paper investigates the linearity performance of analog video transmission systems which use semiconductor laser diodes. The main origins of system linearity degradation are shown to be reflected laser light and speckle noise. It is demonstrated that a laser with an external reflector produces a nonlinear response which degrades the laser modulation properties. It is also revealed that in analog video transmission systems using graded-index multimode fibers, speckle noise is so serious that a reduction in laser coherency is essential, and a new technique employing an optical feedback scheme to reduce speckle noise in investigated. The high quality of results obtained from transmission tests employing the proposed method have confirmed the feasibility of analog video transmission using semiconductor laser diodes.

The Internet real-time applications are growing rapidly, and available bandwidth estimation is required. Available bandwidth estimation methods by end host have been studied e.g. Pathload and pathChirp. These methods parameterize probe packet volume and observe the delay variation to estimate available bandwidth. In these methods, the probe packets impose heavy overhead loads on the network. In this paper, we propose a new available bandwidth estimation method based on the frequency of minimum RTT of probe packets in multi hop links. This method estimates bandwidth utilization and available bandwidth of a bottleneck link without significantly increasing network overhead. Estimation accuracies are evaluated for available bandwidth by implementing the proposed method. The proposed method shows better performance than pathChirp or Pathload, requiring fewer probe packets and less estimation time simultaneously.
