In this overview paper we motivate the need for and research issues arising from a new
model of data processing. In this model, data does not take the form of persistent relations …

Accurate network traffic measurement is required for accounting, bandwidth provisioning
and detecting DoS attacks. These applications see the traffic as a collection of flows they …

Network worms are a clear and growing threat to the security of today's Internet-connected
hosts and networks. The combination of the Internet's unrestricted connectivity and …

Accurate network traffic measurement is required for accounting, bandwidth provisioning
and detecting DoS attacks. These applications see the traffic as a collection of flows they …

A system of techniques is presented for optimizing open shortest path first (OSPF) or
intermediate system-intermediate system (IS-IS) weights for intradomain routing in a …

The design of the IP protocol makes it difficult to reliably identify the originator of an IP
packet. Even in the absence of any deliberate attempt to disguise a packet's origin, wide …

In many recent applications, data may take the form of continuous data streams, rather than
finite stored data sets. Several aspects of data management need to be reconsidered in the …

We consider a router on the Internet analyzing the statistical properties of a TCP/IP packet
stream. A fundamental difficulty with measuring trafic behavior on the Internet is that there is …

Today's Internet is a massive, distributed network which continues to explode in size as e-
commerce and related activities grow. The heterogeneous and largely unregulated structure …

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks continue to plague the Internet. Defense against
these attacks is complicated by spoofed source IP addresses, which make it difficult to …
