Network tomography is a process for inferring "internal" link-level delay and loss performance information based on end-to-end (edge) network measurements. These methods...

It is well known that optimal server placement is NP-hard. We present an approximate model for the case when both clients and servers are dense, and propose a simple server alloca...
This paper analyzes various algorithms for scheduling low priority disk drive tasks. The derived closed form solution is applicable to class of greedy algorithms that include a va...
In this paper we consider the problem of inferring link-level loss rates from end-to-end multicast measurements taken from a collection of trees. We give conditions under which lo...

We present and discuss stream size and lifetime distributions for web and non-web TCP traffic on a campus OC12 link at UC San Diego. The distributions are stable over long periods...
The increasing complexity of computer networks and our increasing dependence on them means enforcing reliability requirements is both more challenging and more critical. The expan...
This paper describes httperf, a tool for measuring web server performance. It provides a flexible facility for generating various HTTP workloads and for measuring server performa...
Widely-used operating systems provide inadequate support for large-scale Internet server applications. Their algorithms and interfaces fail to e ciently support either event-drive...
