BGP is the de-facto Internet routing protocol for exchanging prefix reachability information between Autonomous Systems (AS). It is a dynamic, distributed, path-vector protocol that enables rich expressions of network policies (typically…
A lot of applications depend on reliable and stable Internet connectivity. These characteristics are crucial for mission-critical services such as telemedical applications. An important factor that can affect connection availability is the…
Realizing delay-capacity in intermittently connected mobile networks remains a largely open question, with state-of-the-art routing schemes typically focusing either on delay or on capacity. We show the feasibility of routing with both high…
This paper considers networks where user traffic is regulated through deterministic traffic profiles, e.g., token buckets, and requires hard delay bounds. The network's goal is to minimize the resources it needs to meet those bounds. The…
Changes in air transport networks over time may be induced by competition among carriers, changes in regulations on airline industry, and socioeconomic events such as terrorist attacks and epidemic outbreaks. Such network changes may…
One of the key advantages of Software-Defined Networks (SDN) is the opportunity to integrate traffic engineering modules able to optimize network configuration according to traffic. Ideally, network should be dynamically reconfigured as…
We propose and analyze a new on the fly strategy that discovers, repairs and maintains routes in hierarchical and distributed fashion called Janitor Based Routing (JBR). The main motivation behind our JBR protocol is to decrease flooding…
Now a days, Internet plays a major role in our day to day activities e.g., for online transactions, online shopping, and other network related applications. Internet suffers from slow convergence of routing protocols after a network failure…
The need to guarantee hard delay bounds to traffic flows with deterministic traffic profiles, e.g., token buckets, arises in a number of network settings. Of interest are solutions that offer such guarantees while minimizing network…
Many organizations have the mission of assessing the quality of broadband access services offered by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). They deploy network probes that periodically perform network measures towards selected Internet…
The performance of networks that use the Internet Protocol is sensitive to precise configuration of many low-level parameters on each network device. These settings govern the action of dynamic routing protocols, which direct the flow of…
Modern networks generate vast, heterogeneous traffic that must be continuously analyzed for security and performance. Traditional network traffic analysis systems, whether rule-based or machine learning-driven, often suffer from high false…
Fault-tolerant routing allows the selection of alternative routes to the destination after the route being used fails. Fast Reroute (FRR) is a proactive strategy through which the protocol pre-configures backup routes that are activated…
The TCP/IP protocol stack uses IP addresses for two distinct roles: identifying hosts and locating their attachment points in the network topology. This dual purpose creates a fundamental tension that has led to routing and forwarding…
Traditional Traffic Engineering (TE) solutions can achieve the optimal or near-optimal performance by rerouting as many flows as possible. However, they do not usually consider the negative impact, such as packet out of order, when…
Load Balancing (LB) is a routing strategy that increases performance by distributing traffic over multiple outgoing paths. In this work, we introduce a novel methodology to detect the influence of LB on anycast routing, which can be used by…
Network management often relies on machine learning to make predictions about performance and security from network traffic. Often, the representation of the traffic is as important as the choice of the model. The features that the model…
Service discovery requests' messages have a vital role in sharing and locating resources in many of service discovery protocols. Sending more messages than a link can handle may cause congestion and loss of messages which dramatically…
Internet censorship is pervasive, with significant effort dedicated to understanding what is censored, and where. Prior censorship work however have identified significant inconsistencies in their results; experiments show unexplained…
Generative Information Retrieval (GenIR) is a novel paradigm in which a transformer encoder-decoder model predicts document rankings based on a query in an end-to-end fashion. These GenIR models have received significant attention due to…
