An Internet hitlist is a set of addresses that cover and can represent the the Internet as a whole. Hitlists have long been used in studies of Internet topology, reachability, and...
The Internet topology data collected through traceroute exploration has been extensively studied in the past. In particular, a remarkable property of the Internet, the power-law s...
How fast is the network? The speed at which real users can download content at different locations and at different times is an important metric for service providers. Knowledge o...

This paper develops a high-performance, Internet-wide service discovery tool, which we call IRLscanner, whose main design objectives have been to maximize politeness at remote net...
Social networks provide interesting algorithmic properties that can be used to bootstrap the security of distributed systems. For example, it is widely believed that social networ...
Multi-core systems are the current dominant trend in computer processors. However, kernel network layers often do not fully exploit multi-core architectures. This is due to issues...
Prior studies of Internet traffic have considered traffic at different resolutions and time scales: packets and flows for hours or days, aggregate packet statistics for days or we...
Current large-scale topology mapping systems require multiple days to characterize the Internet due to the large amount of probing traffic they incur. The accuracy of maps from ex...
Although there is tremendous interest in designing improved networks for data centers, very little is known about the network-level traffic characteristics of current data centers...
Path MTU Discovery (PMTUD) is widely believed to be unreliable because of firewalls that discard ICMP "Packet Too Big" messages. This paper measures PMTUD behaviour for ...
