Motivated by a synchronization problem in distributed computing we studied a simple growth model on regular and small-world networks, embedded in one and two-dimensions. We find that the synchronization landscape (corresponding to the…
p-Cycles offer ring-like switching speed and mesh-like spare capacity efficiency for protecting network against link failures. This makes them extremely efficient and effective protection technique. p-Cycles can also protect all the links…
Google's congestion control (GCC) has become a cornerstone for real-time video and audio communication, yet its performance remains fragile in emerging Low Earth Orbit (LEO) networks. In this paper, we study the behavior of…
Scaling data storage is a significant concern in enterprise systems and Storage Area Networks (SANs) are deployed as a means to scale enterprise storage. SANs based on Fibre Channel have been used extensively in the last decade while iSCSI…
Path-aware networking (PAN) architectures, such as SCION and emerging LEO constellations, expose tens to hundreds of verifiable paths to endpoints. When multipath protocols like MPTCP and MPQUIC greedily exploit this diversity,…
Today, network devices share buffer across priority queues to avoid drops during transient congestion. While cost-effective most of the time, this sharing can cause undesired interference among seemingly independent traffic. As a result,…
Data randomization or scrambling has been effectively used in various applications to improve the data security. In this paper, we use the idea of data randomization to proactively randomize the spectrum (re)allocation to improve…
FAST-TCP achieves better performance than traditional TCP-Reno schemes, but unfortunately it is inherently unfair to older connections due to wrong estimations of the round-trip propagation delay. This paper presents a model for this…
We propose an efficient scheme for generating fake network traffic to disguise the real event notification in the presence of a global eavesdropper, which is especially relevant for the quality of service in delay-intolerant applications…
Contemporary web application architectures involve many layers of proxy services that process traffic. Due to the complexity of HTTP and vendor design decisions, these proxies sometimes process a given request in different ways. Attackers…
We study scheduling control of parallel processing networks in which some resources need to simultaneously collaborate to perform some activities and some resources multitask. Resource collaboration and multitasking give rise to…
Data communication in cloud-based distributed stream data analytics often involves a collection of parallel and pipelined TCP flows. As the standard TCP congestion control mechanism is designed for achieving "fairness" among competing flows…
Pipeline parallelism has emerged as a predominant approach for deploying large language models (LLMs) across distributed nodes, owing to its lower communication overhead compared to tensor parallelism. While demonstrating high throughput in…
Nowadays, the bulk of Internet traffic uses TCP protocol for reliable transmission. But the standard TCP's performance is very poor in High Speed Networks (HSN) and hence the core gigabytes links are usually underutilization. This problem…
A well-known technique for enhancing the performance and stability of content distribution is the use of multiple dissemination flows. Multipath TCP (MPTCP), the most popular multiflow protocol on the Internet, allows receivers to exploit…
This paper explores the changes required of TCP to efficiently support cluster file systems such as Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) where the storage nodes are connected through a software defined networking (SDN). Traditional chain…
Increasingly stringent throughput and latency requirements in datacenter networks demand fast and accurate congestion control. We observe that the reaction time and accuracy of existing datacenter congestion control schemes are inherently…
We consider a set of flows passing through a set of servers. The injection rate into each flow is governed by a flow control that increases the injection rate when all the servers on the flow's path are empty and decreases the injection…
This paper presents the design and evaluation of SQP, a congestion control algorithm (CCA) for interactive video streaming applications that need to stream high-bitrate compressed video with very low end-to-end frame delay (eg. AR…
We study a robust control problem for dynamical flow networks. In the considered dynamical models, traffic flows along the links of a transportation network --modeled as a capacited multigraph-- and queues up at the nodes, whereby control…
