Network communication using the Internet Protocol (IP) is a pillar of modern Internet applications. IP allows data packets to travel the world through a complex set of interconnected computer networks managed by different operators. How…
Efficient Vehicle-to-Everything enabling cooperation and enhanced decision-making for autonomous vehicles is essential for optimized and safe traffic. Real-time decision-making based on vehicle sensor data, other traffic data, and…
Content dissemination networks are pervasive in todays Internet. Examples of content dissemination networks include peer-to-peer networks (P2P), content distribution networks (CDN) and information centric networks (ICN). In this paper, we…
The web experience using mobile devices is important since a significant portion of the Internet traffic is initiated from mobile devices. In the era of 5G, users expect a high-performance data network to stream media content and for other…
Over the past three decades, since its invention, the Internet has evolved in both its sheer volume and usage. The Internet's core protocol, Internet Protocol (IP), has proven its usability and effectiveness to support a communication…
Recent studies on transportation networks have shown that real-time route guidance can inadvertently induce congestion or oscillatory traffic patterns. Nevertheless, such technologies also offer a promising opportunity to manage traffic…
Today's Internet is heavily used for multimedia streaming from cloud backends, while the Internet of Things (IoT) reverses the traditional data flow, with high data volumes produced at the network edge. Information Centric Networking (ICN)…
TCP and its variants have suffered from surprisingly poor performance for decades. We argue the TCP family has little hope to achieve consistent high performance due to a fundamental architectural deficiency: hardwiring packet-level events…
The combination of edge caching and coded multicasting is a promising approach to improve the efficiency of content delivery over cache-aided networks. The global caching gain resulting from content overlap distributed across the network in…
Routing is central to networking performance, including: (1) latency in anycast services and websites served from multiple locations,(2) networking expenses and throughput in multi-homed enterprises, (3) the ability to keep traffic domestic…
IP anycast replicates an address at multiple locations to reduce latency and enhance resilience. Due to anycast's crucial role in the modern Internet, earlier research introduced tools to perform anycast censuses. The first, iGreedy, uses…
Traffic forecasting is crucial for transportation systems optimisation. Current models minimise the mean forecasting errors, often favouring periodic events prevalent in the training data, while overlooking critical aperiodic ones like…
Cache-equipped Base-Stations (CBSs) is an attractive alternative to offload the rapidly growing backhaul traffic in a mobile network. New 5G technology and dense femtocell enable one user to connect to multiple base-stations simultaneously.…
Video courses have become a significant component of modern education. However, the increasing demand for live streaming video courses places considerable strain on the service capabilities of campus networks. The challenges associated with…
Public clouds necessitate dynamic resource allocation and sharing. However, the dynamic allocation of IP addresses can be abused by adversaries to source malicious traffic, bypass rate limiting systems, and even capture traffic intended for…
Multicast for securely sharing confidential data among many users is becoming increasingly important. Currently, it relies on duplicate-and-forward routing and cryptographic methods based on computational security. However, these approaches…
Content-centric networking -- also known as information-centric networking (ICN) -- shifts emphasis from hosts and interfaces (as in today's Internet) to data. Named data becomes addressable and routable, while locations that currently…
Information-centric networking (ICN) proposes to redesign the Internet by replacing its host centric design with an information centric one, by establishing communication at the naming level, with the receiver side acting as the driving…
Achieving situational awareness is a challenging process in current HTTPS-dominant web traffic. In this paper, we propose a new approach to encrypted web traffic monitoring. First, we design a method for correlating host-based and network…
This paper presents Packet Chasing, an attack on the network that does not require access to the network, and works regardless of the privilege level of the process receiving the packets. A spy process can easily probe and discover the…
