Linking the growing IPv6 deployment to existing IPv4 addresses is an interesting field of research, be it for network forensics, structural analysis, or reconnaissance. In this work, we focus on classifying pairs of server IPv6 and IPv4…
The development of smart cities requires innovative sensing solutions for efficient and low-cost urban environment monitoring. Bike-sharing systems, with their wide coverage, flexible mobility, and dense urban distribution, present a…
Network measurements are an important tool in understanding the Internet. Due to the expanse of the IPv6 address space, exhaustive scans as in IPv4 are not possible for IPv6. In recent years, several studies have proposed the use of target…
Active Internet measurement studies rely on a list of targets to be scanned. While probing the entire IPv4 address space is feasible for scans of limited complexity, more complex scans do not scale to measuring the full Internet. Thus, a…
Embedded real-time devices for monitoring, controlling, and collaboration purposes in cyber-physical systems are now commonly equipped with IP networking capabilities. However, the reception and processing of IP packets generates workloads…
Internet censorship continues to impact billions of people worldwide, and measurement of it remains an important focus of research. However, most Internet censorship measurements have focused solely on the IPv4 Internet infrastructure. Yet,…
In recent years, a number of major improvements were introduced in the area of computer networks, energy-efficient network protocols and network management systems. Software Defined Networking (SDN) as a new paradigm for managing complex…
Passive measurement has traditionally focused on inbound traffic to detect malicious activity, based on the assumption that threats originate externally. In this paper, we offer a complementary perspective by examining outbound traffic, and…
Users and businesses are increasingly deploying Internet of Things (IoT) devices at home, at work, and in factories. At the same time, we see an increase in the use of IPv6 for Internet connectivity. Even though the IoT ecosystem has been…
The importance of intelligent data placement, management, and analysis has become apparent as scientific data volumes across the network continue to increase. To that end, we describe the use of in-network caching service deployments as a…
As broadband Internet speeds continue to increase, the home wireless ("WiFi") network may more frequently become a performance bottleneck. Past research, now nearly a decade old, initially documented this phenomenon through indirect…
Our comments are in two parts. First, we make some observations regarding the methodology in Chambers et al. [arXiv:0708.0302]. Second, we briefly describe another interesting network monitoring problem that arises in the context of…
IP geolocation - the process of mapping network identifiers to physical locations - has myriad applications. We examine a large collection of snapshots from a popular geolocation database and take a first look at its longitudinal…
The coexistence between active wireless communications and passive RF spectrum use becomes an increasingly important requirement for coordinated spectrum access supporting critical services. The ongoing research and technological progress…
In backbone networks carrying heavy traffic loads, unwanted and unusual end-to-end delay changes can happen, though possibly rarely. In order to understand and manage the network to potentially avoid such abrupt changes, it is crucial and…
The ubiquitous presence of WiFi access points and mobile devices capable of measuring WiFi signal strengths allow for real-world applications in indoor localization and mapping. In particular, no additional infrastructure is required.…
Advances in wireless localization techniques aiming to exploit context-dependent data has been leading to a growing interest in services able of localizing or tracking targets inside buildings with high accuracy and precision. Hence, the…
The desirability of the mid-band frequency range (1 - 10 GHz) for federal and commercial applications, combined with the growing applications for commercial indoor use-cases, such as factory automation, opens up a new approach to spectrum…
Energy usage monitoring on higher education campuses is an important step for providing satisfactory service, lowering costs and supporting the move to green energy. We present a collaboration between the Department of Statistics and…
Providing Internet connectivity to a massive number of Internet-of-things (IoT) objects over the unlicensed spectrum requires: (i) identifying a very large number of narrowband channels in a wideband spectrum and (ii) aggressively reusing…
