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…
Despite efforts from cloud and content providers to lower latency to acceptable levels for current and future services (e.g., augmented reality or cloud gaming), there are still opportunities for improvement. A major reason that traffic…
RPL, the routing protocol proposed by IETF for IPv6/6LoWPAN Low Power and Lossy Networks has significant complexity. Another protocol called LOADng, a lightweight variant of AODV, emerges as an alternative solution. In this paper, we…
Nowadays, routing protocols have become a crucial part of the modern communication networks. A routing protocol's responsibility lies in determining the way routers communicate with each other in order to forward any kind of packets, from a…
In coded bi-directional cooperation, two nodes wish to exchange messages over a shared half-duplex channel with the help of a relay. In this paper, we derive performance bounds for this problem for each of three protocols. The first…
Driven by the special requirements of the Lowpower and Lossy Networks (LLNs), the IPv6 Routing Protocol for LLNs (RPL) was standardized by the IETF some six years ago to tackle the routing issue in such networks. Since its introduction,…
We introduce an application of a mobile transient network architecture on top of the current Internet. This paper is an application extension to a conceptual mobile network architecture. It attempts to specifically reinforce some of the…
In recent times, the prevalence of home NATs and the widespread implementation of Carrier-Grade NATs have posed significant challenges to various applications, particularly those relying on Peer-to-Peer communication. This paper addresses…
Many real-world communication networks often have hybrid nature with both fixed nodes and moving modes, such as the mobile phone networks mainly composed of fixed base stations and mobile phones. In this paper, we discuss the information…
Analysis and simulation of beaconless geo-routing protocols have been traditionally conducted assuming equal communication ranges for the data and control packets. In reality, this is not true since the communication range is actually…
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) had been deployed by many data networking service providers, including the next-generation mobile backhaul networks, because of its undeniable potential in terms of virtual private network (VPN)…
Devices in computer networks cannot work without essential network services provided by a limited count of devices. Identification of device dependencies determines whether a pair of IP addresses is a dependency, i.e., the host with the…
P2P IPTV applications arise on the Internet and will be massively used in the future. It is expected that P2P IPTV will contribute to increase the overall Internet traffic. In this context, it is important to measure the impact of P2P IPTV…
Existing performance comparisons of QUIC and TCP compared an optimized QUIC to an unoptimized TCP stack. By neglecting available TCP improvements inherently included in QUIC, comparisons do not shed light on the performance of current web…
Existing methods for active topology discovery within the IPv6 Internet largely mirror those of IPv4. In light of the large and sparsely populated address space, in conjunction with aggressive ICMPv6 rate limiting by routers, this work…
Privacy-minded Internet service operators anonymize IPv6 addresses by truncating them to a fixed length, perhaps due to long-standing use of this technique with IPv4 and a belief that it's "good enough." We claim that simple anonymization…
As IP / MPLS network service providers drive for improved network efficiencies, traffic engineering is becoming increasingly important. In this article we review the approaches for traffic engineering in IP / MPLS networks and present the…
In this paper we have presented the effects of path mtu discovery in IPv4 & IPv6 in mathematical, logical and graphical representation. We try to give a mathematical model to the working of path mtu discovery and calculated its behaviour…
The packet is the fundamental unit of transportation in modern communication networks such as the Internet. Physical layer scheduling decisions are made at the level of packets, and packet-level models with exogenous arrival processes have…
In this study, we report on techniques and analyses that enable us to capture Internet-wide activity at individual IP address-level granularity by relying on server logs of a large commercial content delivery network (CDN) that serves close…
