The interconnection of resource-constrained and globally accessible things with untrusted and unreliable Internet make them vulnerable to attacks including data forging, false data injection, and packet drop that affects applications with…
This paper was designed to provide Intranet traffic monitoring by sniffing the packets at the local Area Network (LAN) server end to provide security and control. It was implemented using five computer systems configured with static…
Mobile devices that connect to the Internet via cellular networks are rapidly becoming the primary medium for accessing Web content. Cellular service providers (CSPs) commonly deploy Web proxies and other middleboxes for security,…
An extensive body of research deals with estimating the correlation and the Hurst parameter of Internet traffic traces. The significance of these statistics is due to their fundamental impact on network performance. The coverage of Internet…
The crossing number of a graph is the minimum number of edge crossings that a graph can have when drawn in the plane. Determining this number, known as the Crossing Number problem, is a celebrated problem in combinatorial optimization. It…
Comparing ISPs on broadband speed is challenging, since measurements can vary due to subscriber attributes such as operation system and test conditions such as access capacity, server distance, TCP window size, time-of-day, and network…
The Tor anonymity network has been shown vulnerable to traffic analysis attacks by autonomous systems and Internet exchanges, which can observe different overlay hops belonging to the same circuit. We aim to determine whether network path…
We introduce new tools and vantage points to develop and integrate proactive techniques to attract IPv6 scan traffic, thus enabling its analysis. By deploying the largest-ever IPv6 proactive telescope in a production ISP network, we…
Network performance monitoring holds a pivotal role in improving the overall network performance. It is essential to monitor the traffic statistics at Internet eXchange Points (IXPs) to optimize the traffic flows. The existing monitoring…
Fault-tolerant routing allows the selection of alternative routes to the destination after the route being used fails. Fast Reroute (FRR) is a proactive strategy through which the protocol pre-configures backup routes that are activated…
Today, most devices have multiple network interfaces. Coupled with wide-spread replication of popular content at multiple locations, this provides substantial path diversity in the Internet. We propose Multi-source Multipath HTTP, mHTTP,…
IP eXchange or IPX is GSMA proposal for IP interconnection model which supports multi services to offer end-to-end QoS, security, interoperability, SLAs through a dedicated connection. There are some possible partnership schemes between IPX…
The increasing complexity of AI workloads, especially distributed Large Language Model (LLM) training, places significant strain on the networking infrastructure of parallel data centers and supercomputing systems. While Equal-Cost Multi-…
The Internet is a critical resource in the day-to-day life of billions of users. To support the growing number of users and their increasing demands, operators have to continuously scale their network footprint -- e.g., by joining Internet…
Deployment of IoT cameras in an organization threatens security and privacy policies, and the classification of network traffic without using IP addresses and port numbers has been challenging. In this paper, we have designed, implemented…
Data breaches and cyberattacks represent a severe problem in higher education institutions and universities that can result in illegal access to sensitive information and data loss. To enhance the security of data transmission, Intrusion…
By focusing on what can be observed by running traceroute-like measurements at a high frequency from a single monitor to a fixed destination set, we show that the observed view of the topology is constantly evolving at a pace much higher…
With the shift to working remotely after the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) around the world has nearly doubled. Therefore, measuring the traffic and security aspects of the VPN ecosystem is more important now…
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…
In this paper we consider a set of origin-destination pairs in a mixed model in which a network embedded in the plane represents an alternative high-speed transportation system, and study a trip covering problem which consists on locating…
