IMPLEMENTASI ALGORITMA CLUSTERING K-MEANS UNTUK PENGELOMPOKAN JENIS LAYANAN PENGGUNA JARINGAN

Advances in information technology are currently the most effective media for finding and disseminating the information needed in today's life. High information is sometimes not matched by the presentation of adequate information, often this information still needs to be extracted or reprocessed. As an intuition engaged in the field of communication and informatics, the Bogor Regency Communication and Informatics Service provides internet services for its employees. Therefore, the quality of the internet network at Diskominfo must always be in prime condition to support the process of its activities. For intuition, knowing and understanding the behavior of internet service users can be a reference for optimizing in the future. Access patterns are a part of user behavior when accessing internet services. Due to the large amount of data that must be processed, a method is needed to process such large data. In this thesis the author uses the K-Means Clustering method to process data. The results of this study indicate that the K-Means clustering algorithm is able to group types of network user services effectively based on the pattern of computer network usage in the Bogor District Communication and Informatics Office

IMPLEMENTASI QUALITY OF SERVICE (QoS) DENGAN SISTEM WIFI HOTSPOT VOUCHER PADA JARINGAN MENGGUNAKAN MIKROTIK

Wifi Hotspot is a place or area to access the internet where there is a device, namely an Access Point, which functions to provide internet network services. Before the user can access the hotspot network, the user must first input the voucher code code in order to enjoy the hotspot service. The hotspot service provided by the provider also does not share bandwidth, so if many users enter the hotspot network, the network is most likely unstable due to the absence of bandwidth management. From these problems the author wants to apply hotspot voucher service and schedule time. The application of this hotspot voucher is different from the vouchers provided by the provider. So that users can use this hotspot voucher comfortably. The application of schedule time serves to set the time schedule in accessing internet services. The author developed the waterfall development method because the stages in the waterfall development method such as the requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment and maintenance stages are most suitable for use in this study. From several stages that have been carried out, the application of hotspot vouchers and schedule time is running well, and the internet network is not slow because of the distribution of bandwidth evenly.

Application layer security for Internet communications: A comprehensive review, challenges, and future trends

The security of Internet communications has traditionally been delegated to controls at lower layers of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) architecture. However, the increasing complexity and severity of current Internet threats have rendered this approach insufficient, necessitating enhanced security measures at higher levels. This paper presents a comprehensive review of Application layer security for Internet communications, utilizing a novel classification scheme of existing literature based on standards and frameworks. Unlike previous studies, our proposed classification scheme encompasses all current approaches to security provision, security goals, types of attacks, and types of controls at the Application layer. Moreover, it analyzes security solutions for both standardized and proposed protocols. Our review is domain-agnostic and considers all existing contributions without age restrictions, allowing us to analyze the complete landscape beyond the conventional use of browsers for accessing Internet services and to understand the evolution of Application layer security from the Internet’s inception. Our thorough review also identifies gaps, challenges, and forecasts future trends, serving as a baseline for future research. We conclude that the primary driver to secure the Application layer for Internet communications is the technological adaptation of standardized Application layer protocols to meet new requirements over time, which has given rise to new and dangerous threats, rendering controls at lower layers insufficient.

Canadian Public Library Pandemic Response: Bridging the Digital Divide and Preparing for Future Pandemics

This article examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on computer and Internet access services in Canadian public libraries as well as the implications of this lack of access for people facing socioeconomic barriers, and how Canadian public libraries could address digital divide issues in the post-pandemic era. Recommendations on future pandemic preparedness for public libraries are also discussed in this article. This research project conducted a bilingual (English and French) online survey targeting public library technicians, librarians, and library board members across Canada. From 1,631 research invitation emails sent to public library staff across Canada and three Facebook posts on Canadian public library staff groups, over a one-year period from November 3, 2021, to November 6, 2022. 226 individuals participated in the online survey questionnaire. Findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated social inequalities in Canada, including access to computers and the Internet. The digital divide could lead to poor health outcomes and put existing disadvantaged populations at greater risk in terms of future employment opportunities. The digital divide needs to be addressed so that Canadians in low-income households and those living with disabilities do not get left behind. Importantly, public libraries in Canada have been working tirelessly to equalize access to computers, the Internet, and digital literacy training and support. Their determination, social responsibility, and professional ethics need to be acknowledged. Finally, this article's recommendations for future pandemic preparedness in Canadian public libraries may also be applicable and beneficial to public libraries globally.

Does the end justify the means? The European Commission’s proposed regulation laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse

Abstract The European Commission’s Proposed Regulation Laying Down Rules to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse aims to impose obligations related to detecting, reporting, removing, and blocking known and new online child sexual abuse material (CSAM), as well as the solicitation of children (grooming), on providers of hosting services, interpersonal communication services, software application stores, internet access services, and other relevant services. This paper navigates through state-of-the-art technological tools for detecting online CSAM, scrutinizing their potential legal impact and technical issues associated with each tool and unveiling potential fundamental rights implications. It strives to answer the question of whether the proposed rules are aligned with the state-of-the-art detection technologies in effectively addressing online CSAM without jeopardizing other fundamental rights, intending to foster a nuanced understanding of the proposal’s potential shortcomings. Upholding democracy and the presumption of innocence demands careful consideration of the impact of new technologies, emphasizing the importance of thorough studies to inform legal frameworks. Without such scrutiny, the proposed regulation risks undermining fundamental rights in its pursuit of child protection in the digital landscape.

An auction approach to aircraft bandwidth scheduling in non-terrestrial networks

Internet Service has witnessed only limited deployment on commercial flights, where network infrastructure is lacking and subscription fees are high. It is natural to design an efficient scheduling strategy for Internet service access on flights, while maximizing social welfare. There are challenges to use either antennas on the ground or geostationary (GEO) satellites in space as Internet Service Provider (ISP) equipment. First, preemptive-purchase and resource-allocation in post-paid plans may not satisfy the dynamic demand for large amounts of flight-ISP machine links. Second, finding an optimal, dynamic, online solution based on flight demands is NP-hard. Third, existing solutions often fail to maximize either seller profit or social welfare. To address the aforementioned challenges, we formulate an online bandwidth scheduling integer linear program (ILP) among flights, antennas, and GEO satellites in a Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN). We transform the ILP into an exponential optimization problem, which is then relaxed, with its dual formulated. We iteratively solve a series of dual subproblems in polynomial time, towards social welfare maximization with a good competitive ratio in typical network settings. In empirical studies, our algorithm achieved a much better competitive ratio than the theoretical worst-case guarantee, and clearly outperforms alternative algorithms.

ANALISIS SIMULASI PROTOKOL ROUTING DINAMIS OSPF UNTUK PENINGKATAN EFISIENSI JARINGAN HYBRID KAMPUS UNUD DENPASAR

UNUD GDLN building located in UNUD Sudirman campus acts as an information and communication technology service center as an internet access service provider, radio broadcast and online learning. The UNUD Campus network currently uses a static hybrid routing protocol, where the static routing protocol has the disadvantage that the network administrator must always reconfigure the network if there is a topology change. The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) dynamic routing protocol can be used as a solution to overcome the weaknesses of static routing protocols because it is more suitable for larger networks and has the advantage of automatically determining the best route. This research aims to analyze the application of OSPF routing protocol in UNUD Denpasar Campus with GNS3 simulation. This research uses Quality of Service (QoS) parameters to analyze network performance, and test scenarios by PING with large data transmission that imitates YouTube video streaming. The results showed that OSPF dynamic routing protocol has better performance and has met the TIPHON standard with very good results for packet loss, throughput, and delay parameters and good results for jitter parameters. Tests on static routing protocol simulations and OSPF routing protocols are carried out by comparing the transmission process based on the resolution on YouTube video streaming imitation, starting with 360p, 480p, 720p and 1080p resolutions. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that OSPF routing is more suitable and produces better parameter values when transmitting streaming video with a resolution of 480p, 720p and 1080p, while the transmission of streaming video with a resolution of 360p is more suitable for static routing which is more suitable for transmission with lower resolutions.

Optimalisasi Dua Layanan Jaringan Internet Menggunakan Teknik Load Balancing dengan Metode Peer Connection Classifier (PCC) (Studi Kasus: Jaringan Internet Desa Banyuanyar Boyolali)

Load Balancing is a technique for distributing data traffic so that the workload is distributed evenly on 2 or more networks to maximize resource usage and improve performance. There are two ISPs for internet access services to the Banyuanyar Village Office, Boyolali, both of which have different bandwidths, namely from PT. Telkom has 100Mbps bandwidth and Kominfo has 50Mbps bandwidth. So here there will be dense network traffic if the internet network is not optimized.. In this case, it can be optimized using load balancing techniques on both ISPs by using the Peer Connection Classifier technique to group traffic and divide the load on both internet connection lines so as not to overload. So it can be concluded that by adding a proxy router device, configuring load balancing, and applying a hierarchical network-based network topology, it will optimize two internet network services at Banyuanyar Village Hall, Boyolali.

A Survey of Secure Communications for Satellite Internet Based on Cryptography and Physical Layer Security

Satellite internet serves as an indispensable component of the upcoming sixth-generation networks for providing global broadband internet access service. Due to the open nature of satellite-ground communication, security issue in satellite internet has always been an important concern for both industry and academia. Although many researchers focus on secure communications in satellite internet, the literature is surprisingly sparse, with no comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art security techniques. This paper provides an in-depth survey of secure communications for various satellite internet scenarios. Based on different security mechanisms, we first categorize the existing works of secure communications in satellite internet into two categories: cryptography-based and physical layer security-based. The former includes classical encryption-based and quantum encryption-based secure communication, and the latter is further divided into precoding-based, cooperative jamming-based, relay selection-based, and physical-layer authentication-based secure communication depending on the applied techniques. Finally, we provide some future research directions.

Virtualized intelligent genetic load balancer for federated hybrid cloud environment using deep belief network classifier

Load balancing is major issue in federated cloud environment. Various services can be offered by different cloud service providers. As per current working environment cloud computing is used in major applications such as education, online shopping, multimedia services, etc. Dynamic load balancing is required to handle the resources. Federated cloud has various services offering system with computing resources, resource pooling, internet access services and storage. Intelligent Genetic algorithm is proposed to provide efficient load balancing service in hybrid cloud environment. Virtualized Intelligent Genetic Load Balancer algorithm consists of load balancer and resource provisioning system to allocate the resources. Enhanced Load Balancer is used to preserve the load and minimize the span time based on resource provisioning method. In this work we analyse automated virtual machine services by using runtime resource provision. Here we use enhanced load balancer to measure the performance using virtual machine placements, resource utilization and automated quality requirements. We design a deep belief network based on requirements and measure the accuracy using TensorFlow. The simulation results test the accuracy and compare the results. Virtualized Intelligent Genetic Load Balancer system is achieving the accuracy of 95% based on overall capacity requirements. We compare Virtualized Intelligent Genetic Load Balancer system performance with existing simulations results and compared the results.

Lifting a regulatory millstone around 5G investors’ neck – 5G network slicing versus EU-net neutrality?

Highly quality-sensitive 5G use cases, such as metaverse-type applications, connected and autonomous driving or digitalised health applications, are the future of the mobile internet. These use cases will rely on 5G network slicing technology to ensure scalability and individually calibrated Quality of Service (QoS) levels. New electronic communications services ensuring specific QoS levels are subject to EU-net neutrality rules laid down in Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 and are currently being assessed by national regulatory authorities (NRAs) on a case-by-case basis. As acknowledged by the European Commission (EC) in its recent report on the implementation of the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2015/2120, this case-by-case approach results in legal uncertainty and acts as barrier to investments and innovation. In particular, it is often unclear to internet service providers (ISPs) if innovative quality-sensitive content, applications or services may be delivered via specialised services in accordance with Article 3 (5) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2120. The purpose of the article is to show a way to enhance legal certainty in the application of Article 3 (5) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 while preserving the fundamental digital rights of end-users regarding equal and non-discriminatory treatment of data traffic by ISPs as well as transparency. Specifically, striking this delicate balance could be achieved by introducing rebuttable presumptions to shift the burden of proving that “optimisation is necessary in order to meet requirements of the content, applications or services for a specific level of quality” (Article 3 (5) subpara. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2120) and that specialised services are “not […] to the detriment of the availability or general quality of internet access services for end-users” (Article 3 (5) subpara. 2 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2120) away from ISPs and towards NRAs.

Predicting Internet Use and Digital Competence Among Older Adults Using Performance Tests of Visual, Physical, and Cognitive Functioning: Longitudinal Population-Based Study.

The rapidly increasing role of the internet in obtaining basic services poses challenges, especially for older adults' capabilities of getting the services they need. Research on the predictors of older adults' internet use and digital competence is especially relevant given that people are living longer than before, and the age profile of many societies is changing rapidly. We aimed to examine the associations of objective measures of physical and cognitive impairment with the nonuse of the internet for services and low digital competence among older adults. A longitudinal population-based design was used that combined data from performance tests and self-rated questionnaires. Data were gathered in 2017 and 2020 among 1426 older adults aged between 70 and 100 years in Finland. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine the associations. Those who had poor near (odds ratio [OR] 1.90, 95% CI 1.36-2.66) or distant vision (OR 1.81, 95% CI 1.21-2.71), restricted or failed abduction of upper arms (OR 1.81, 95% CI 1.28-2.85), and poor results from the word list memory (OR 3.77, 95% CI 2.65-5.36) or word list delayed recall (OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.48-3.02) tests had greater odds for nonuse of the internet for services than their counterparts. Moreover, those who had poor near (OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.57-3.02) or distant vision (OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.43-3.19), poor results from the chair stand test (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.06-2.31), restricted or failed abduction of upper arms (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.10-2.76), and poor results from the word list memory (OR 3.41, 95% CI 2.32-5.03) or word list delayed recall (OR 2.05, 95% CI 1.39-3.04) tests had greater odds of low digital competence than their counterparts. According to our results, older adults' impaired physical and cognitive functioning may hamper their possibilities of accessing internet services such as digital health care services. Our results should be considered when planning digital health care services intended to be used by older adults; that is, digital solutions should also be suitable for older adults with impairments. Furthermore, face-to-face services should be provided for those who cannot use digital services, even if they are assisted properly.

Research on the influencing factors of customer rating based on PCA and RBF neural network

In the past four decades, China's mobile communication technology has made rapid development and application, changing the way of life of human beings and making it possible for everything to be connected. As the network continues to be built, the network coverage is getting better and better. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the factors that customers influence on the operator's product services and thus further improve the quality of network services. First, cleaning operations such as coding and missing value processing are performed on the data, and specific data are filled based on information gain to fully utilize customer information. Secondly, based on principal component analysis, the features of each influencing factor are dimensioned down, and the cumulative influence contribution rate of each principal component is calculated. The influencing factors that have a cumulative influence contribution rate of more than 80% in the two data affecting the scores are selected, and mathematical models of customer scoring based on relevant influencing factors are established for customer voice service and Internet access service respectively, and other customer scores are predicted accordingly. The models stabilized after 8 and 6 iterations for voice service and Internet service, respectively, and their mean square error was kept at about 2.

Assessment of the community’s technological literacy in the use of mobile phones for rural development

ABSTRACT Access and use of mobile phones by communities in rural areas is a topical issue in different countries. However, there has been limited empirical literature to account for mobile phone use in rural areas for development and lifelong learning. This study employed the data which were collected from 66 phone users in rural areas to report on their technological literacy in the use of mobile phones. The data were generated through questionnaires, focus group discussions and practical tests. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were employed to analyse the data. The analysis revealed that the majority of adults in rural communities could use mobile phones through voice calls and short messages only. Only a few of them could use mobile phones to access internet services. Financial transactions and searching for information on weather, health, politics and businesses were challenging to them. This led to the conclusion that rural communities need to be empowered to access internet services through mobile phones to enhance their socio-economic development activities. It is recommended that technological literacy programmes on the use of mobile phones and the internet to maximise productivity be implemented in rural communities that are mostly farmers and producers of raw materials.
