While there exist mixnets that can anonymously route large amounts of data packets with end to end latency that can be as low as a second, %making them attractive for a variety of applications, combining this level of performance with…
Understanding the detailed queueing behavior of a networking session is critical in enabling low-latency services over the Internet. Especially when the packet arrival and service rates at the queue of a link vary over time and moreover…
Machine learning (ML) inference platforms are tasked with balancing two competing goals: ensuring high throughput given many requests, and delivering low-latency responses to support interactive applications. Unfortunately, existing…
Although existing 3D perception algorithms have demonstrated significant improvements in performance, their deployment on edge devices continues to encounter critical challenges due to substantial runtime latency. We propose a new benchmark…
Poor security of Internet routing enables adversaries to divert user data through unintended infrastructures (hijack). Of particular concern -- and the focus of this paper -- are cases where attackers reroute domestic traffic through…
A recent advance in networking is the deployment of path-aware multipath network architectures, where network endpoints are given multiple network paths to send their data on. In this work, we tackle the challenge of selecting paths for…
Being able to provide latency guarantees for orbital edge computing applications through Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations is a major milestone for their integration into 5G and 6G networks. However, achieving this is…
Querying graph data with low latency is an important requirement in application domains such as social networks and knowledge graphs. Graph queries perform multiple hops between vertices. When data is partitioned and stored across multiple…
The ever-evolving landscape of attacks, coupled with the growing complexity of ICT systems, makes crafting anomaly-based intrusion detectors (ID) and error detectors (ED) a difficult task: they must accurately detect attacks, and they…
Crowdsourced GPS probe data has been gaining popularity in recent years as a source for real-time traffic information. Efforts have been made to evaluate the quality of such data from different perspectives. A quality indicator of any…
Cloud providers are highly incentivized to reduce latency. One way they do this is by locating datacenters as close to users as possible. These "cloud edge" datacenters are placed in metropolitan areas and enable edge computing for…
We describe our experience with modeling a video tracking system used to detect and follow moving targets from an airplane. We provide a formal model that takes into account the real-time properties of the system and use it to compute the…
Network latencies have become increasingly important for the performance of web servers and cloud computing platforms. Identifying network-related tail latencies and reasoning about their potential causes is especially important to gauge…
5G promises enhanced performance-not only in bandwidth and capacity, but also latency and security. Its ultra-reliable low-latency configuration targets round-trip times below 1 ms, while optional security controls extend protection across…
Third-party Large Language Model (LLM) API gateways are rapidly emerging as unified access points to models offered by multiple vendors. However, the internal routing, caching, and billing policies of these gateways are largely undisclosed,…
Round-trip times (RTTs) are an important metric for the operation of many applications in the Internet. For instance, they are taken into account when choosing servers or peers in streaming systems, and they impact the operation of fault…
Background: The computationally intensive task of real-time rendering can be offloaded to remote cloud systems. However, due to network latency, interactive remote rendering (IRR) introduces the challenge of interaction latency (IL), which…
Outages from natural disasters, political events, software or hardware issues, and human error place a huge cost on e-commerce (\$66k per minute at Amazon). While several existing systems detect Internet outages, these systems are often too…
Traditionally, the efficiency and effectiveness of search systems have both been of great interest to the information retrieval community. However, an in-depth analysis of the interaction between the response latency and users' subjective…
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…
