Backhauling services through satellite systems have doubled between 2012 and 2018. There is an increasing demand for this service for which satellite systems typically allocate a fixed resource. This solution may not help in optimizing the…
The behavior of loss-based TCP congestion control algorithms like TCP CUBIC continues to be a challenge in modern cellular networks. Due to the large RLC layer buffers required to deal with short-term changes in channel capacity, the…
HTTPS is quickly rising alongside the need of Internet users to benefit from security and privacy when accessing the Web, and it becomes the predominant application protocol on the Internet. This migration towards a secure Web using HTTPS…
Caching is a technique to reduce peak traffic rates by prefetching popular content into memories at the end users. Conventionally, these memories are used to deliver requested content in part from a locally cached copy rather than through…
Packet processing on Linux can be slow due to its complex network stack. To solve this problem, there are two main solutions: eXpress Data Path (XDP) and Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK). XDP and the AF XDP socket offer full…
In this work, we look at the impact of router configurations on DCTCP and Cubic traffic when both algorithms share router buffers in the data center. Modern data centers host traffic with mixed congestion controls, including DCTCP and Cubic…
In the last decades, technological developments in wireless communications have been coupled with an increasing demand of mobile services. From real-time applications with focus on entertainment (e.g., high quality video streaming, virtual…
Across the world, there is growing interest in new waveforms, Zak-OTFS in particular, and over-the-air implementations are starting to appear. The choice between OFDM and Zak-OTFS is not so much a choice between waveforms as it is an…
In this paper we present the implementation of a WebRTC gateway service that can forward ad-hoc RTP data plane traffic from a browser on one local network to a browser on another local network. The advantage compared to the existing IETF…
Access to fiber-optic connectivity in the Internet is traditionally offered either via lit circuits or dark fiber. Economic (capex vs. opex) and operational considerations (latency, capacity) dictate the choice between these two offerings,…
Given a temporal graph G, a source vertex s, and a departure time at source vertex t_s, the earliest arrival time problem EAT is to start from s on or after t_s and reach all the vertices in G as early as possible. Ni et al. have proposed a…
While new mechanisms and configurations of the 5G radio are offering step forward in delivery of ultra-reliable low latency communication services in general, and haptic communications in particular, they could inversely impact the…
Internet-wide scanning is commonly used to understand the topology and security of the Internet. However, IPv4 Internet scans have been limited to scanning only a subset of services -- exhaustively scanning all IPv4 services is too costly…
Recent experimental breakthroughs in satellite quantum communications have opened up the possibility of creating a global quantum internet using satellite links. This approach appears to be particularly viable in the near term, due to the…
Shaping subscriber traffic based on token bucket filter (TBF) by Internet service providers (ISPs) results in waste of network resources in shared access when there are few active subscribers, because it cannot allocate excess bandwidth in…
Parallel processing, the core of High Performance Computing (HPC), was and still the most effective way in improving the speed of computer systems. For the past few years, the substantial developments in the computing power of processors…
Cloud computing is becoming common, and the choice of proper infrastructure is essential. One of main issues is choosing between private and public clound, between commercial and non-commercial solutions. This paper aims to compare the…
IEEE 802.11 is a widely used wireless LAN standard for medium access control. TCP is a prominent transport protocol originally designed for wired networks. TCP treats packet loss as congestion and reduces the data rate. In wireless networks…
The modern web is increasingly characterized by the pervasiveness of Surveillance Capitalism. This investigation employs an empirical approach to examine this phenomenon through the web tracking practices of major tech companies --…
Recent advancements in low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites represented by large constellations and advanced payloads provide great promises for enabling beyond 5G and 6G telecommunications and high-quality and ubiquitous Internet connectivity…
