While the statistical and resilience properties of the Internet are no more changing significantly across time, the Darknet, a network devoted to keep anonymous its traffic, still experiences rapid changes to improve the security of its…
Pattern matching of core GQL, the new ISO standard for querying property graphs, cannot check whether edge values are increasing along a path, as established in recent work. We present a constructive translation that overcomes this…
Encrypted traffic poses new and unique challenges for network operators because information that is useful or necessary for management purposes is not accessible anymore. This paper examines proposed approaches to provide end-to-end…
In modern server CPUs, the Last-Level Cache (LLC) serves not only as a victim cache for higher-level private caches but also as a buffer for low-latency DMA transfers between CPU cores and I/O devices through Direct Cache Access (DCA).…
The stack in various forms has been widely used as an architectural template for networking systems. Recently the stack has been subject to criticism for a lack of flexibility. However, when it comes right down to it nobody has offered a…
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…
Today's Internet utilizes a multitude of different protocols. While some of these protocols were first implemented and used and later documented, other were first specified and then implemented. Regardless of how protocols came to be, their…
The QUIC transport protocol represents a significant evolution in web transport technologies, offering improved performance and reduced latency compared to traditional protocols like TCP. Given the growing number of QUIC implementations,…
We propose a mechanism that incorporates network coding into TCP with only minor changes to the protocol stack, thereby allowing incremental deployment. In our scheme, the source transmits random linear combinations of packets currently in…
The proliferation of IoT and V2X systems generates unprecedented sensitive data at the network edge, demanding privacy-preserving architectures that enable secure sharing without exposing raw information. Contemporary solutions face a…
QUIC, a UDP-based transport protocol, addresses several limitations of TCP by offering built-in encryption, stream multiplexing, and improved loss recovery. To extend these benefits to legacy TCP-based applications, this paper explores the…
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…
The heterogeneous and distributed nature of the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the need for extremely fast and fine-grained service provisioning in 5/5+G architectures and beyond. To meet these needs, it is critical to enable efficient…
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) continues to be the dominant transport protocol on the Internet. The stability of fluid models has been a key consideration in the design of TCP and the performance evaluation of TCP algorithms. Based on…
In the communication systems domain, constructing and maintaining network topologies via topology control (TC) algorithms is an important cross-cutting research area. Network topologies are usually modeled using attributed graphs whose…
The network layer is central to the networking scientific area. It is around the network layer that all the data communications develop, and one of its main tasks is to allow the identification of each single interface/machine between the…
Considering topologies of anonymous networks we used to organizing anonymous communication into hard to trace paths hiding its origin or destination. In anonymity the company is crucial, however the serial transportation imposes a costly…
Overheads in Operating System kernel network stacks and sockets have been hindering OSes from managing networking operations efficiently for years. Moreover, when building Remote Procedure Calls over TCP, certain TCP features do not match…
In the beginning there was the internet, then came the world wide web, and now there is the grid. In the future perhaps there will be the cloud. In the age of persistent, pervasive, and pandemic networks I review how the lattice QCD…
Internet of Things (IoT) have gained popularity in recent times. With an increase in the number of IoT devices, security and privacy vulnerabilities are also increasing. For sensitive domains like healthcare and industrial sectors, such…
