In order to meet their stringent dependability requirements, most modern packet-switched
communication networks support fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane. While …

The border gateway protocol (BGP) is the Internet's default inter-domain routing protocol that
manages connectivity among autonomous systems (ASes). Over the past two decades many …

Diagnosing problems in networks is a time-consuming and error-prone process. Existing
tools to assist operators primarily focus on analyzing control plane configuration …

This paper describes VINI, a virtual network infrastructure that allows network researchers to
evaluate their protocols and services in a realistic environment that also provides a high …

In this paper, we explore new possibilities, created by programmable switches, for fast
rerouting upon signals triggered by Internet traffic disruptions. We present Blink, a data …

Replicating content across a geographically distributed set of servers and redirecting clients
to the closest server in terms of latency has emerged as a common paradigm for improving …

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks remain a major security problem, the mitigation
of which is very hard especially when it comes to highly distributed botnet-based attacks …

Detecting network path anomalies generally requires examining large volumes of traffic data
to find misbehavior. We observe that wide-area services, such as peerto-peer systems and …

It is accepted wisdom that the current Internet architecture conflates network locations and
host identities, but there is no agreement on how a future architecture should distinguish the …

Formally, the Internet inter-domain routing system is a collection of networks, their policies,
peering relationships and organizational affiliations, and the addresses they advertize. It …
