As AI capabilities rapidly advance, the risk of catastrophic harm from large-scale training runs is growing. Yet the compute infrastructure that enables such development remains largely unregulated. This paper proposes a concrete framework…
The contemporary tourism landscape is undergoing rapid digitization, necessitating a nuanced comprehension of online user behavior to guide data-driven decision-making. This research bridges an existing gap by investigating the tourism…
Since 2006, Turkmenistan has been listed as one of the few Internet enemies by Reporters without Borders due to its extensively censored Internet and strictly regulated information control policies. Existing reports of filtering in…
Researchers have studied Internet censorship for nearly as long as attempts to censor contents have taken place. Most studies have however been limited to a short period of time and/or a few countries; the few exceptions have traded off…
IP prefix hijacks allow adversaries to redirect and intercept traffic, posing a threat to the stability and security of the Internet. To prevent prefix hijacks, networks should deploy RPKI and filter bogus BGP announcements with invalid…
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…
Internet-wide scans are a common active measurement approach to study the Internet, e.g., studying security properties or protocol adoption. They involve probing large address ranges (IPv4 or parts of IPv6) for specific ports or protocols.…
Internet censorship continues to impact billions of people worldwide, and measurement of it remains an important focus of research. However, most Internet censorship measurements have focused solely on the IPv4 Internet infrastructure. Yet,…
Improving the energy efficiency of Internet Service Provider (ISP) backbone networks is an important objective for ISP operators. In these networks, the overall traffic load throughout the day can vary drastically, resulting in many…
We study a semi-asynchronous client-server perceptron trained via iterative parameter mixing (IPM-style averaging): clients run local perceptron updates and a server forms a global model by aggregating the updates that arrive in each…
Today's distributed network control planes support multiple routing protocols, filtering mechanisms, and route selection policies. These protocols operate at different layers, e.g. BGP operates at the EGP layer, OSPF at the IGP layer, and…
Data transfer is one of the main functions of the Internet. The Internet consists of a large number of interconnected subnetworks or domains, known as Autonomous Systems. Due to privacy and other reasons the information about what route to…
Prefix hijacking is a common phenomenon in the Internet that often causes routing problems and economic losses. In this demo, we propose ARTEMIS, a tool that enables network administrators to detect and mitigate prefix hijacking incidents,…
In this paper, we study the robustness of interdependent networks, in which the state of one network depends on the state of the other network and vice versa. In particular, we focus on the interdependency between the power grid and…
In the raise of many global organizations deploying their data centers and content services in India, the prefix reachability performance study from global destinations garners our attention. The events such as failures and attacks…
BGP prefix hijacking is a threat to Internet operators and users. Several mechanisms or modifications to BGP that protect the Internet against it have been proposed. However, the reality is that most operators have not deployed them and are…
Radio Access Network (RAN) systems are inherently complex, requiring continuous monitoring to prevent performance degradation and ensure optimal user experience. The RAN leverages numerous key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate…
On 25 January 2022, following a beginning to the year which had been affected by major political unrest resulting in the deaths of more than 230 people 1 , Kazakhstan was hit by a major power blackout. For around twelve hours, the entire…
In this article we present the Hayastan Shakarian (HS), a robustness index for complex networks. HS measures the impact of a network disconnection (edge) while comparing the sizes of the remaining connected components. Strictly speaking,…
Colocation facilities and Internet eXchange Points (IXPs) provide neutral places for concurrent networks to daily exchange terabytes of data traffic. Although very reliable, these facilities are not immune to failure and may experience…
