Path probing is essential to maintaining an efficient overlay network topology. However, the cost of a full-scale probing is as high as O(n2 ), which is prohibitive in large-scale...
— The efficiency of overlay networks built on top of the IP network is often threatened by the mismatch between the topologies of the overlay and the underlying IP network, resu...
BGP has been deployed in Internet for more than a decade. However, the events that cause BGP topological changes are not well understood. Although large traces of routing updates ...
Abstract--We explore the use of end-to-end multicast traffic as measurement probes to infer network-internal characteristics. We have developed in an earlier paper [2] a Maximum Li...
