Fractal behavior and long-range dependence are widely observed in measurements and characterization of traffic flow in high-speed computer networks of different technologies and coverage levels. This paper presents the results obtained when…
Accurate static traffic assignment models are important tools for the assessment of strategic transportation policies. In this article we present a novel approach to partition road networks through network modularity to produce data-driven…
Single node failures represent more than 85% of all node failures in the today's large communication networks such as the Internet. Also, these node failures are usually transient. Consequently, having the routing paths globally recomputed…
As enterprises move to a cloud-first approach, their network becomes crucial to their daily operations and has to be continuously monitored. Although passive monitoring can be convenient from a deployment viewpoint, inferring the state of…
The deployment of business critical applications and information infrastructures are moving to the cloud. This means they are hosted in large scale data centers with other business applications and infrastructures with less (or none)…
The exponential growth of data traffic and the increasing complexity of networked applications demand effective solutions capable of passively inspecting and analysing the network traffic for monitoring and security purposes. Implementing…
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 spoofing enables reflection and amplification attacks, which cause major threats to the current Internet infrastructure. Detecting IP packets with incorrect source addresses would help to improve the situation. This is easy at the…
Multipath TCP (MPTCP) extends traditional TCP to enable simultaneous use of multiple connection endpoints at the source and destination. MPTCP has been under active development since its standardization in 2013, and more recently in…
The last two decades witnessed tremendous advances in the Information and Communications Technologies. Beside improvements in computational power and storage capacity, communication networks carry nowadays an amount of data which was not…
While detailed resource usage monitoring is possible on the low-level using proper tools, associating such usage with higher-level abstractions in the application layer that actually cause the resource usage in the first place presents a…
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…
Trillions of network packets are sent over the Internet to destinations which do not exist. This 'darknet' traffic captures the activity of botnets and other malicious campaigns aiming to discover and compromise devices around the world. In…
Over the years, the Internet has been enriched with new available communication technologies, for both fixed and mobile networks and devices, exhibiting an impressive growth in terms of performance, with steadily increasing available data…
Internet censorship is typically enforced by authorities to achieve information control for a certain group of Internet users. So far existing censorship studies have primarily focused on country-level characterization because (1) in many…
Internet traffic displays many persistent periodicities (oscillations) on a large range of time scales. This paper describes the measurement methodology to detect Internet traffic periodicities and also describes the main periodicities in…
Current practice of shaping subscriber traffic based on token bucket by Internet service provider (ISP) allows short-term fluctuations in its shaped rate and thereby enables a subscriber to transmit traffic at a higher rate than a…
Latency is a key indicator of Internet service performance. Continuously tracking the latency of client requests enables service operators to quickly identify bottlenecks, perform adaptive resource allocation or routing, and mitigate…
IPv6 activity is commonly reported as a fraction of network traffic per day. Within this traffic, however, are daily and weekly characteristics, driven by non-uniform IPv6 deployment across ISPs and regions. This paper discusses some of the…
The rapid growth of population and the permanent increase in the number of vehicles engender several issues in transportation systems, which in turn call for an intelligent and cost-effective approach to resolve the problems in an efficient…
