5G brings many improvements to cellular networks in terms of performance, such as lower latency, improved network efficiency, and higher throughput, making it an attractive candidate for many applications. One such domain is industrial…
Web caching is essential for the World Wide Web, saving processing power, bandwidth, and reducing latency. Many proxy caching solutions focus on buffering data from the main server, neglecting cacheable information meant for server writes.…
Pacing is a key mechanism in modern transport protocols, used to regulate packet transmission timing to minimize traffic burstiness, lower latency, and reduce packet loss. Standardized in 2021, QUIC is a UDP-based protocol designed to…
The DNS is a key component of the Internet. Originally designed to facilitate the resolution of host names to IP addresses, its scope has continuously expanded over the years, today covering use cases such as load balancing or service…
The Domain Name System (DNS) is central to all Internet user activity, resolving accessed domain names into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. As a result, curious DNS resolvers can learn everything about Internet users' interests. Public…
QUIC, a new and increasingly used transport protocol, enhances TCP by offering improved security, performance, and stream multiplexing. These features, however, also impose challenges for network middle-boxes that need to monitor and…
This paper revisits the issue of the performance of DNS resolution services available to Internet users. While several prior studies addressed this important issue, significant developments, namely, the IPv6 finally getting traction and the…
The proliferation of Extended Reality (XR) applications, requiring high-quality, low-latency media streaming, has driven the demand for efficient remote rendering solutions. This paper focuses on holographic conferencing in virtual…
QUIC is an advanced transport layer protocol whose ubiquity on the Internet is now very apparent. Importantly, QUIC fuels the next generation of web browsing: HTTP/3. QUIC is a stateful and connection oriented protocol which offers similar…
We introduce Hermes, a general-purpose networking architecture that aims to improve service delivery over the Internet. Hermes delegates networking responsibilities from applications and services to proxies and is designed as a portable,…
Stateful Middleboxes are integral part of enterprise and campus networks that provide essential in-network, security, and value-added services. These stateful middleboxes rely on precise network flow identification. However, the adoption of…
Originally implemented by Google, QUIC gathers a growing interest by providing, on top of UDP, the same service as the classical TCP/TLS/HTTP/2 stack. The IETF will finalise the QUIC specification in 2019. A key feature of QUIC is that…
Quick UDP Internet Connection (QUIC) is an emerging end-to-end encrypted, transport-layer protocol, which has been increasingly adopted by popular web services to improve communication security and quality of experience (QoE) towards…
