Distributed Reflective Denial of Service (DRDoS) attacks are an immanent threat to Internet services. The potential scale of such attacks became apparent in March 2018 when a memcached-based attack peaked at 1.7 Tbps. Novel services built…

Cross layer techniques applied to various protocols stacks provide fair information sharing between OSI model layers. The performance gains have been demonstrated for many studied systems within protocols interactions. The example is…

Failures in networks result in service disruptions which may cause deteriorated Quality of Service (QoS) for the end users. Since SDN is becoming the mainstream paradigm for networks, implementation of a robust fault tolerance scheme for…

In this paper, we present a study on the recent approaches in handling Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. DDoS attack is a fairly new type of attack to cripple the availability of Internet services and resources. A DDos attack…

Distributed deep neural networks (DNNs) have emerged as a key technique to reduce communication overhead without sacrificing performance in edge computing systems. Recently, entropy coding has been introduced to further reduce the…

Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks are usually launched through the $botnet$, an "army" of compromised nodes hidden in the network. Inferential tools for DDoS mitigation should accordingly enable an early and reliable…

Reconfigurable data center networks (DCNs) enhance traditional architectures with optical circuit switches (OCSs), enabling dynamic reconfiguration of inter-pod links, i.e., the logical topology. Optimizing this topology is crucial for…

Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have emerged as a popular means of causing collection particular overhaul disruptions, often for total periods of instance. The relative ease and low costs of…

Users around the world face escalating network interference such as censorship, throttling, and interception, largely driven by the commoditization and growing availability of Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) devices. Once reserved for a few…

Smart environment requires uninterrupted connection when moving from one network to another. This is best accomplished at the network level (L3). Full interoperability and integration of heterogeneous networks is necessary for communication…

Nowadays, denial of service (DoS) attacks represent a significant fraction of all attacks that take place in the Internet and their intensity is always growing. The main DoS attack methods consist of flooding their victims with bogus…

Software-defined networking is considered a promising new paradigm, enabling more reliable and formally verifiable communication networks. However, this paper shows that the separation of the control plane from the data plane, which lies at…

Denial-of-Service (DoS) conditions in enterprise networks are commonly attributed to malicious actors. However, availability can also be compromised by benign non-malicious insider behavior. This paper presents an empirical study of a…

Previous work on ad hoc network capacity has focused primarily on source-destination throughput requirements for different models and transmission scenarios, with an emphasis on delay tolerant applications. In such problems, network…

We address the problem of distributed state estimation of a linear dynamical process in an attack-prone environment. Recent attempts to solve this problem impose stringent redundancy requirements on the measurement and communication…
