Abstract—Intentional interference constitutes a major threat for communication networks operating over a shared medium where availability is imperative. Jamming attacks are often...
We consider a consensus algorithm in which every node in a time-varying undirected connected graph assigns equal weight to each of its neighbors. Under the assumption that the deg...
Performing distributed consensus in a network has been an important research problem for several years, and is directly applicable to sensor networks, autonomous vehicle formation...

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...
We analyze several distributed, continuous time protocols for a fair allocation of bandwidths to flows in a network (or resources to agents). Our protocols converge to an allocati...
The decentralized control scheme for routing in current IP networks has been questioned, and a centralized control scheme has been proposed. In this paper, we compare the convergen...
We study how decentralized agents can develop a shared vocabulary without global coordination. Answering this question can help us understand the emergence of many communication s...
—BGP allows routers to use general preference policies for route selection. This paper studies the impact of these policies on convergence time. We first describe a real-time mo...
— In [1], [2] it was noticed that sometimes it takes BGP a substantial amount of time and messages to converge and stabilize following the failure of some node in the Internet. I...
The duration of the Minimal Route Advertisement Interval (MRAI) and the implementation of MRAI timers have a significant influence on the convergence time of the Border Gateway Pr...
