Dynamic multi-path routing has the potential to improve the reliability and performance of a communication network, but carries a risk. Routing needs to respond quickly to achieve...
Content distribution using the P2P paradigm has become one of the most dominant services in the Internet today. Most of the research effort in this area focuses on developing new ...
Today's data networks are surprisingly fragile and difficult to manage. We argue that the root of these problems lies in the complexity of the control and management planes--...
We describe and analyse in details the various factors that influence the convergence time of intradomain link state routing protocols. This convergence time reflects the time req...
This note is an informal report about the Shadow Program Committee experiment that I organized for Sigcomm 2005. It (i) discusses the motivation for a Shadow Program Committee (PC...
Some in the research community perceive the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as ossified and see the difficulty in standardizing new protocols as an indication that there is...
Internet routers require buffers to hold packets during times of congestion. The buffers need to be fast, and so ideally they should be small enough to use fast memory technologie...
