New applications are being supported by current and future networks. In particular, it is expected that Metaverse applications will be deployed in the near future, as 5G and 6G network provide sufficient bandwidth and sufficiently low…
5G cellular systems are slowly being deployed worldwide delivering the promised unprecedented levels of throughput and latency to hundreds of millions of users. At such scale security is crucial, and consequently, the 5G standard includes a…
Network telescopes serve as a critical passive monitoring tool for capturing unsolicited Internet traffic, providing insights into global scanning and reconnaissance behavior. This study analyzes a 10-day dataset during January 2025…
The research community has already identified that, by 2030, 5G networks will reach the capacity limits, and hence, will be inadequate to support next generation bandwidth-hungry, ubiquitous, intelligent services, and applications.…
This paper revisits the issue of the performance of DNS resolution services available to Internet users. While several prior studies addressed this important issue, significant developments, namely, the IPv6 finally getting traction and the…
Active Internet measurements face challenges when some measurements require many remote vantage points. In this paper, we propose a novel technique for measuring remote IPv6 networks via side channels in ICMP rate limiting, a required…
HTTP/2 supersedes HTTP/1.1 to tackle the performance challenges of the modern Web. A highly anticipated feature is Server Push, enabling servers to send data without explicit client requests, thus potentially saving time. Although…
Storage networking technology has enjoyed strong growth in recent years, but security concerns and threats facing networked data have grown equally fast. Today, there are many potential threats that are targeted at storage networks,…
During the initial years of its inception, the Internet was widely used for transferring data packets between users and respective data sources by using IP addresses. With the advancements in technology, the Internet has been used to share…
Internet has become a foundation of our modern society. However, all regions or countries do not have the same Internet access regarding quality especially in the Indian Ocean Area (IOA). To improve this quality it is important to have a…
Data sent over the Internet can be monitored and manipulated by intermediate entities in the data path from the source to the destination. For unencrypted communications (and some encrypted communications with known weaknesses),…
It is increasingly important to support the large numbers of scientists working in remote areas and having low -bandwidth access to the Internet. This will continue to be the case for years to come since there is evidence from PingER…
NAT64 is an IPv6 transition mechanism that enables IPv6-only hosts to access the IPv4 Internet. Understanding the deployment of NAT64, and its performance impact, is crucial to the success of the IPv6 transition, by encouraging IPv6-only…
The sixth generation (6G), unlike any of the previous generations, is envisioned by 2030 to connect everything. Moreover, in addition to the new use cases, 6G is expected to support, it will need to provide a superior performance over 5G.…
We are on the verge of a new age of linked autonomous cars with unheard-of user experiences, dramatically improved air quality and road safety, extremely varied transportation settings, and a plethora of cutting-edge apps. A substantially…
Since the beginning of the Internet thirty years ago, we have witnessed a number of changes in the application of communication technologies. Today, the Internet can be described to a large extent as a ubiquitous infrastructure that is…
We introduce an attack against encrypted web traffic that makes use only of packet timing information on the uplink. This attack is therefore impervious to existing packet padding defences. In addition, unlike existing approaches this…
Future applications such as intelligent vehicles, the Internet of Things and holographic telepresence are already highlighting the limits of existing fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks. These limitations relate to data throughput,…
Exploitation techniques targeting intermediate (transit) network nodes in public and private networks have been theoretically known and empirically proven to work for quite some time. However, very little effort has been made to look into…
The past decade has seen many proposals for future Internet architectures. Most of these proposals require substantial changes to the current networking infrastructure and end-user devices, resulting in a failure to move from theory to…
