Efficient network routing and robust IoT device provisioning are crucial for today's digital infrastructure. The expansion of networks and the integration of numerous IoT devices increases the demand for scalable, reliable, and secure information exchange. Effective routing protocols optimize data flow, minimizing latency and maximizing throughput.
Current routing protocols struggle with balancing simplicity and efficiency, leading to issues like routing loops, high configuration overhead, and limited scalability. Cisco EIGRP’s Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL), face limitations in interoperability, complexity, convergence speed, and scalability. Protocols like RIP can be unstable with slow convergence, while complex protocols like OSPF require significant resources and configuration. Existing IoT provisioning methods face challenges in secure onboarding, update management, and scalability. These limitations increase vulnerability to security threats, operational inefficiencies, and hinder network performance.
This portfolio introduces novel routing protocols and IoT device management systems to enhance network performance, security, and adaptability.
- The routing algorithms, DARE and ORCA, ensure efficient, loop-free data transmission using advanced state management and distributed computations. This improves scalability, convergence speed, and reliability compared to protocols like RIP, OSPF, and EIGRP.
- Integrates the simplicity of RIPv2 with the loop-free guarantees of EIGRP’s DUAL, removing proprietary restrictions.
- Employs active/passive state management, enabling nodes to change successors and forward data during parallel computations.
- Uses ordering reference value to ensure loop-free routing and fast convergence.
- The IoT provisioning system offers a secure, three-phase process for device configuration and management, featuring robust authentication, flexible configurations, and multi-interface support using master, gateway, and client components.
Key Advantages
- Open-standard loop-free implementation: Provides an openly accessible diffusing algorithm, unlike EIGRP.
