Complex networks have been mostly characterized from the point of view of the degree distribution of their nodes and a few other motifs (or modules), with a special attention to triangles and cliques. The most exotic phenomena have been…
Weak mixing in lattice models is informally the property that ``information does not propagate inside a system''. Strong mixing is the property that ``information does not propagate inside and on the boundary of a system''. In dimension…
Recent advances in high-speed mobile networks have revealed new bottlenecks in ubiquitous TCP protocol deployed in the Internet. In addition to differentiating non-congestive loss from congestive loss, our experiments revealed two…
The generic feature of traffic in a network of flowing electronic data packets is a phase transition from a stationary free-flow phase to a continuously growing congested non-stationary phase. In the most simple network of directed oriented…
A common property of many large networks, including the Internet, is that the connectivity of the various nodes follows a scale-free power-law distribution, P(k)=ck^-a. We study the stability of such networks with respect to crashes, such…
Quantum communication is a growing area of research, with quantum internet being one of the most promising applications. Studying the statistical properties of this network is essential to understanding its connectivity and the efficiency…
With developments of real-time applications into data centers, the need for alternatives of the standard TCP protocol has been prime demand in several applications of data centers. The several alternatives of TCP protocol has been proposed…
The overwhelming majority of survivable (fault-tolerant) network design models assume a uniform fault model. Such a model assumes that every subset of the network resources (edges or vertices) of a given cardinality $k$ may fail. While this…
Motivated in part by understanding average case analysis of fundamental algorithms in computer science, and in part by the wide array of network data available over the last decade, a variety of random graph models, with corresponding…
Main responsibility of a transport protocol is to support communication between two end-to-end entities. These entities can be hosts or devices, such as routers, firewalls etc. Transport protocol provides mechanism to have a virtually…
TCP parameters in most of the operating systems are optimized for generic home and office environments having low latencies in their internal networks. However, this arrangement invariably results in a compromized network performance when…
Fair queuing is becoming increasingly prevalent in the internet and has been shown to improve performance in many circumstances. Performance could be improved even more if endpoints could detect the presence of fair queuing on a certain…
Computers and routers on the Internet send each other error messages (called ICMP datagrams) to signal conditions such as network congestion or blackouts. While these datagrams are very rare, less than 0.001% of total traffic, they hold…
The usual definitions of algorithmic fairness focus on population-level statistics, such as demographic parity or equal opportunity. However, in many social or economic contexts, fairness is not perceived globally, but locally, through an…
In this paper, we present a detailed framework to analyze the evolution of the random topology of a time-varying wireless network via the information theoretic notion of entropy rate. We consider a propagation channel varying over time with…
In data centers, the nature of the composite bursty traffic along with the small bandwidth-delay product and switch buffers lead to several congestion problems that are not handled well by traditional congestion control mechanisms such as…
Robustness of routing policies for networks is a central problem which is gaining increased attention with a growing awareness to safeguard critical infrastructure networks against natural and man-induced disruptions. Routing under limited…
In this article we provide a novel characterization of the proportionally fair bandwidth allocation of network capacities, in terms of the Fenchel--Legendre transform of the network capacity region. We use this characterization to prove…
Low-power and lossy networks (LLNs) enable diverse applications integrating many resource-constrained embedded devices, often requiring interconnectivity with existing TCP/IP networks as part of the Internet of Things. But TCP has received…
We present ACP+, an age control protocol, which is a transport layer protocol that regulates the rate at which update packets from a source are sent over the Internet to a monitor. The source would like to keep the average age of sensed…
