Internetwork Congestion-Avoidance and Collapse-Prevention Framework in Mobile Data Using Network Border Patrol Protocol

Authors(2) :-Akaninyene U. Ntuen, John E. Efiong

The effectiveness of the Internet depends on the ability of network administrators and mobile network service providers to implement measures that are capable of preventing congestion problems in the Internet. Studies have shown that the current Internet suffers congestion problem as a result of many users contending for connections, resources and communication needs. This becomes more critical with the current proliferation of mobile and handheld devices. It therefore, becomes imperative to develop a congestion-avoidance mechanism to address this problem. This paper investigates and proposes a Mobile device-based Network Border Patrol (mNBP) protocol as a suitable rule for circumventing the problem identified in the information superhighway in mobile devices. The aim is to reveal the possible causes of congestion in mobile device-based internetworks and proffer a solution capable of leading to free flow of information in the internet. The implementation of mNBP framework will ensure free flow of packets as transmitted, successful arrival of packets to and from the Internet and avoidance of delay, drop or loss of packets in the Internet.
