The topology of the Internet and its geographic properties received significant attention during the last years, not only because they have a deep impact on the performance experienced by users, but also because of legal, political, and…
The Internet provides physical path diversity between a large number of hosts, making it possible for networks to use alternative paths when one path fails to deliver the required Quality of Service. However, for various reasons, many…
The connectivity of the Internet at the Autonomous System level is influenced by the network operator policies implemented. These in turn impose a direction to the announcement of address advertisements and, consequently, to the paths that…
Routing policies used in the Internet can be restrictive, limiting communication between source-destination pairs to one path, when often better alternatives exist. To avoid route flapping, recovery mechanisms may be dampened, making…
Internet mapping projects generally consist in sampling the network from a limited set of sources by using traceroute probes. This methodology, akin to the merging of spanning trees from the different sources to a set of destinations, leads…
Traceroute sampling is an important technique in exploring the internet router graph and the autonomous system graph. Although it is one of the primary techniques used in calculating statistics about the internet, it can introduce bias that…
Mapping the Internet generally consists in sampling the network from a limited set of sources by using traceroute-like probes. This methodology, akin to the merging of different spanning trees to a set of destination, has been argued to…
Traceroute measurements are one of our main instruments to shed light onto the structure and properties of today's complex networks such as the Internet. This paper studies the feasibility and infeasibility of inferring the network topology…
Mapping the Internet generally consists in sampling the network from a limited set of sources by using "traceroute"-like probes. This methodology, akin to the merging of different spanning trees to a set of destinations, has been argued to…
Despite great effort spent measuring topological features of large networks like the Internet, it was recently argued that sampling based on taking paths through the network (e.g., traceroutes) introduces a fundamental bias in the observed…
The topology of the Internet has typically been measured by sampling traceroutes, which are roughly shortest paths from sources to destinations. The resulting measurements have been used to infer that the Internet's degree distribution is…
We examine the extent of needless traffic exposure by the routing infrastructure to nations geographically irrelevant to packet transmission. We quantify what countries are geographically logical to observe on a network path traveling…
Research on the robustness of the Internet has gained critical importance in the last decades because more and more individuals, societies and firms rely on this global network infrastructure for communication, knowledge transfer, business…
Identifying influential spreaders in complex networks is a crucial problem which relates to wide applications. Many methods based on the global information such as $k$-shell and PageRank have been applied to rank spreaders. However, most of…
Traceroutes and geolocation are two essential network measurement tools that aid applications such as network mapping, topology generation, censorship, and Internet path analysis. However, these tools, individually and when combined, have…
In transportation network analysis, various types of road network data can be used even when focusing on the same region. Since different road network datasets can make different performance in analyses, it is necessary to compare them and…
Internet censorship is typically enforced by authorities to achieve information control for a certain group of Internet users. So far existing censorship studies have primarily focused on country-level characterization because (1) in many…
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…
The Internet topology is of high importance in designing networks and architectures, evaluating performance, and economics. Interconnections between domains (ASes), routers, and points of presence (PoPs), have been measured, analyzed, and…
A great deal of effort has been spent measuring topological features of the Internet. However, it was recently argued that sampling based on taking paths or traceroutes through the network from a small number of sources introduces a…
