Extensive research has been done on studying the capacity of wireless multi-hop networks. These efforts have led to many sophisticated and customized analytical studies on the capacity of particular networks. While most of the analyses are…
Most Internet traffic is carried by capacity-seeking protocols such as TCP and QUIC. Capacity-seeking protocols probe to find the maximum available throughput from sender to receiver, and, once they converge, attempt to keep sending traffic…
Research on the robustness of the Internet has gained critical importance in the last decades because more and more individuals, societies and firms rely on this global network infrastructure for communication, knowledge transfer, business…
Despite its increasing role in communication, the world wide web remains the least controlled medium: any individual or institution can create websites with unrestricted number of documents and links. While great efforts are made to map and…
HTTP is a successful Internet technology on top of which a lot of the web resides. However, limitations with its current specification, i.e. HTTP/1.1, have encouraged some to look for the next generation of HTTP. In SPDY, Google has come up…
Conventional latency metrics are formulated based on a broad definition of traditional monolithic services, and hence lack the capacity to address the complexities inherent in modern services and distributed computing paradigms.…
Wireless information-centric networks consider storage as one of the network primitives, and propose to cache data within the network in order to improve latency and reduce bandwidth consumption. We study the throughput capacity and latency…
The models of the Internet reported in the literature are mainly aimed at reproducing the scale-free structure, the high clustering coefficient and the small world effects found in the real Internet, while other important properties (e.g.…
The availability of very wide spectrum in millimeter wave bands combined with large antenna arrays and ultra dense networks raises two basic questions: What is the true value of overly abundant degrees of freedom and how can networks be…
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,…
Information-centric networks are an interesting new paradigm for distributing content on the Internet. They bring up many research challenges, such as addressing content by name, securing content, and wide-spread caching of content. Caching…
Bandwidth is one of the essential resources for communication. Due to the emergence of large number of new services in different types of communications and their value added entities, the demand for bandwidth has gone up more than ever…
In this paper, we empirically demonstrate the growing importance of reliability by measuring its effect on user behavior. We present an approach for broadband reliability characterization using data collected by many emerging national…
Mobile Internet experience has been of increasing interest. Services accessed via smartphone applications shall provide satisfying Quality of Experience (QoE), irrespective of end user location, time of the day, and other circumstances.…
How many links can be cut before a network is bisected? What is the maximal bandwidth that can be pushed between two nodes of a network? These questions are closely related to network resilience, path choice for multipath routing or…
As broadband Internet speeds continue to increase, the home wireless ("WiFi") network may more frequently become a performance bottleneck. Past research, now nearly a decade old, initially documented this phenomenon through indirect…
Studying the capacity of wireless multi-hop networks is an important problem and extensive research has been done in the area. In this letter, we sift through various capacity-impacting parameters and show that the capacity of both static…
With the popularity of mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, users prefer visiting Web pages on mobile devices. Meanwhile, HTTP(S) plays as the major protocol to deliver Web contents, and has served the Web well for more than 15…
Bandwidth optimization for real-time video traffic transmission through the proxy server is a challenging issue for the next- generation network. The self - control of the traffic rate at the proxy server is based on the relative data…
We analyze different strategies aimed at optimizing routing policies in the Internet. We first show that for a simple deterministic algorithm the local properties of the network deeply influence the time needed for packet delivery between…
