NETWORKING 2008 Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks, Wireless Networks, Next Generation Internet

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International IFIP-TC6 Networking Conference, NETWORKING 2008, held in Singapore, in May 2008.

The 82 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on ad hoc and sensor networks: design and optimization, MAC protocol, overlay networking, and routing; next generation internet: authentication, modeling and performance evaluation, multicast, network measurement and testbed, optical networks, peer-to-peer and overlay networking, peer-to-peer services, QoS, routing, security, traffic engineering, and transport protocols; wireless networks: MAC performance, mesh networks, and mixed networks.
