Distributed network optimization has been studied for well over a decade. However, we still do not have a good idea of how to design schemes that can simultaneously provide good performance across the dimensions of utility optimality,…

In this work we address the question of efficiency of distributed computing in anonymous, congested and highly dynamic and not-always-connected networks/systems. More precisely, the system consists of an unknown number of anonymous nodes…

Many cloud systems utilize low-priority flows to achieve various performance objectives (e.g., low latency, high utilization), relying on TCP as their preferred transport protocol. However, the suitability of TCP for such low-priority flows…

We consider the problem of simultaneous scheduling and resource allocation of an incoming flow of requests to a set of computing units. By representing each computing unit as a node, we model the overall system as a multi-queue scheme.…

In many scenarios, low latency wireless communication assumes two-way connection, such that the node that receives information can swiftly send acknowledgment or other response. In this paper, we address the problem of low latency two-way…

In today's data center, a diverse mix of throughput-sensitive long flows and delay-sensitive short flows are commonly presented in shallow-buffered switches. Long flows could potentially block the transmission of delay-sensitive short…

Detecting anomalous behavior in network traffic is a major challenge due to the volume and velocity of network traffic. For example, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection can generate over 50 MB/s of packet headers. For global network providers,…

This paper considers the quality-of-service (QoS)-based joint beamforming and compression design problem in the downlink cooperative cellular network, where multiple relay-like base stations (BSs), connected to the central processor via…

Individual objects, whether users or services, within a specific region often exhibit similar network states due to their shared origin from the same city or autonomous system (AS). Despite this regional network similarity, many existing…

This paper introduces Nimbus, a robust technique to detect whether the cross traffic competing with a flow is "elastic", and shows that this elasticity detector improves congestion control. If cross traffic is inelastic, then a sender can…

In LLM serving, reusing the KV cache of prompts across requests is critical for reducing TTFT and serving costs. Cache-affinity scheduling, which co-locates requests with the same prompt prefix to maximize KV cache reuse, often conflicts…

Active queue management (AQM) drops packets early in the growth of a queue, to prevent a capacity-seeking sender (e.g. TCP) from keeping the buffer full. An AQM can mark instead of dropping packets if they indicate support for explicit…

In this paper, utilizing the relay buffers, we propose an opportunistic decode-wait-and-forward relay scheme for a point-to-point communication system with a half-duplexing relay network to better exploit the time diversity and relay…

Active Queue Management (AQM), a network-layer congestion control technique endorsed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), encourages routers to discard packets before the occurrence of buffer overflow. Traditional AQM techniques…

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks pose a persistent threat to network security, requiring timely and scalable mitigation strategies. In this paper, we propose a novel collaborative architecture that integrates a P4-programmable…

It is by now well-known that wireless networks with file arrivals and departures are stable if one uses alpha-fair congestion control and back-pressure based scheduling and routing. In this paper, we examine whether ?alpha-fair congestion…

Quality of service (QoS) for a network is characterized in terms of various parameters specifying packet delay and loss tolerance requirements for the application. The unpredictable nature of the wireless channel demands for application of…

The evolution of 5G and Beyond networks has enabled new applications with stringent end-to-end latency requirements, but providing reliable low-latency service with high throughput over public wireless networks is still a significant…
