Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique is based on an optical measurement approach that is highly sensitive to the
refractive index unit (RIU) of the sample on its analysis surface. Here, we demonstrate the direct detection of proteins
and small molecules using an advanced SPR technology with a sensitivity that is as good as Fourier transform infrared
(FTIR) spectroscopy. Some quantitative results are reported in this paper.
Specification and description language (SDL) is an object-oriented formal language defined as a standard by ITU-T. Though SDL is mainly used in describing communication protocols, it is an efficient way to simulate the network performance with SDL tools according to our experience. This paper presents our methodology of SDL-based network performance simulation in such aspects as the simulation platform, the simulation modes and the integrated simulation environment. Note that Telelogic Tau 4.3 SDL suite is used here as the simulation environment though our methodology isn't limited to the software. Finally the SDL-based open shortest path first (OSPF) performance simulation in the wireless private network is illustrated as an example of our methodology, which indicates that SDL is indeed an efficient language in the area of the network performance simulation.
The private network serves as an information exchange platform to support the integrated services via microwave channels and accordingly selects the open shortest path first (OSPF) as the IP routing protocol. But the existing OSPF can't fit the private network very well for its special characteristics. This paper presents our modifications to the standard protocol in such aspects as the single-area scheme, link state advertisement (LSA) types and formats, OSPF packet formats, important state machines, setting of protocol parameters and link flap damping. Finally simulations are performed in various scenarios and the results indicate that our modifications can enhance the OSPF performance in the private network effectively.
Open shortest path first (OSPF) is the most widely used routing protocol in today’s IP networks, and its excellent performance has been proved in wired environments. However, when it is executed under bad channel conditions such as in wireless networks or areas with severe signal interference, links may flap frequently and some terrible problems will appear. This paper proposes a novel algorithm called OSPF link flap damping algorithm (OLFDA). The objective of OLFDA is to reduce the events of link state advertisement (LSA) update and damp the link flap with the precondition that the overall network performance is satisfying. To accomplish this, we can define criteria to identify and dynamically suppress the poorly behaved links. Information of the suppressed links won’t be advertised in OSPF domain and used in calculation of the routing tables. In addition, we can control the maximal number of links suppressed simultaneously by a router to ensure the network connectivity. OLFDA are simulated in many scenarios, and the results indicate that the algorithm has an excellent performance.
Nowadays multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) technology has achieved great popularity in the world. Because MPLS adopts the scheme of “route once and switch many”, routing is the key element to ensure packets are transmitted to destinations. Though there are many designs of MPLS routing protocol for public networks, they can hardly fit the private network very well for its special characteristics. This paper presents the design of MPLS routing protocol in the private network using the specification and description language (SDL), which is an object-oriented formal language and mainly used in communications area. In our design the whole autonomous system (AS) is regarded as a single area to reduce the number of protocol packets. The SDL module of MPLS routing protocol consists of four kinds of processes, namely Management, Checking, NeigSession and LSADbase. Simulations of the SDL design are run in many scenarios, the results of which indicate that the SDL module is manageable and the overall performance is satisfying. From our design and simulation experience, we find that the software development cycle can be drastically reduced by the use of SDL, and the code is easy to maintain and reuse.
