Over the past years, TCP has gone through numerous updates to provide performance enhancement under diverse network conditions. However, with respect to losses, little can be achieved with legacy TCP detection and recovery mechanisms. Both fast ...

The recent proliferation of human-carried mobile devices has given rise to mobile crowd sensing MCS systems that outsource the collection of sensory data to the public crowd equipped with various mobile devices. A fundamental issue in such systems is to ...

For general connections, the problem of finding network codes and optimizing resources for those codes is intrinsically difficult and a little is known about its complexity. Most of the existing methods for identifying solutions rely on very restricted ...

A software-defined network SDN is increasingly deployed in many practical settings, bringing new security risks, e.g., SDN controller and switch hijacking. In this paper, we propose a real-time method to detect compromised SDN devices in a reliable way. ...

Crowdsourced mobile video streaming enables nearby mobile video users to aggregate network resources to improve their video streaming performances. However, users are often selfish and may not be willing to cooperate without proper incentives. Designing ...

A social learning network SLN emerges when users exchange information on educational topics with structured interactions. The recent proliferation of massively scaled online human learning, such as massive open online courses MOOCs, has presented a ...

We propose and analyze a graph model to study the connectivity of interdependent networks. Two interdependent networks of arbitrary topologies are modeled as two graphs, where every node in one graph is supported by supply nodes in the other graph, and ...

Recent emergence of software-defined networks offers an opportunity to design domain-specific programming abstractions aimed at network operators. In this paper, we propose scenario-based programming, a framework that allows network operators to program ...

Distributed cloud networking enables the deployment of a wide range of services in the form of interconnected software functions instantiated over general purpose hardware at multiple cloud locations distributed throughout the network. We consider the ...

Although infrastructure as a service IaaS users are busy scaling up/out their cloud instances to meet the ever-increasing demands, the dynamics of their demands, as well as the coarse-grained billing options offered by leading cloud providers, have led ...

In this paper, we investigate the problem of space synchronization, i.e., synchronizing inertial readings from multiple mobile devices in the spatial dimension, in other words, multiple mobile devices are space synchronized to have the same 3-D ...

Broadband penetration in rural areas of the developing countries is significantly low. The unique challenges in enabling rural connectivity are sparsity of population locations and modest income of the villagers, which induce low return on investment to ...

With Tor being a popular anonymity network, many attacks have been proposed to break its anonymity or leak information of a private communication on Tor. However, guaranteeing complete privacy in the face of an adversary on Tor is especially difficult, ...

This paper presents Merlin, a framework for managing resources in software-defined networks. With Merlin, administrators express high-level policies using programs in a declarative language. The language includes logical predicates to identify sets of ...

We consider the problem of scheduling jobs with multiple-resource requirements CPU, memory, and disk in a distributed server platform, motivated by data-parallel and cloud computing applications. Jobs arrive dynamically over time and require certain ...

One of the key features of a routing protocol is its ability to recover from link or node failures, recomputing routes efficiently without creating temporary loops. Indeed, in real conditions, there is always a trade-off between the overhead due to the ...

Fat tree is a scalable and widely deployed data center network topology. In this paper, a novel framework for designing per-packet load-balanced routing algorithms in fat tree called global round robin GRR is proposed. Routing in fat tree consists of ...

Network location is one of the critical issues and a challenge in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks, in particular when networks are sparse. However, even in highly sparse networks, there exist well-connected subgraphs while the distribution of the ...

Bloom filters BFs are widely used in many network applications but the high computational cost limits the system performance. In this paper, we introduce a low computational cost Bloom filter named One-Hashing Bloom filter OHBF to solve the problem. The ...

In a cognitive radio network, a secondary user learns the spectrum environment and dynamically accesses the channel, where the primary user is inactive. At the same time, a primary user emulation PUE attacker can send falsified primary user signals and ...

Neighbor discovery ND is a critical primitive for 60-GHz wireless networks with highly directional radios. Prior work has attempted to improve the ND efficiency but overlooks the unique properties of 60-GHz phased-array antennas and spatial channel ...

In this paper, we consider a real-time queuing system with rewards and deadlines. We assume that the packet processing time is known upon arrival, as is the case in communication networks. This assumption allows us to demonstrate that the well-known ...

Low latency is highly desirable for cloud services. To achieve a low response time, stringent timing requirements are needed for task scheduling in a large-scale server farm spanning thousands of servers. In this paper, we conduct an in-depth analysis ...
