We analyze IS-IS routing updates from sprint's IP network to characterize failures that affect
IP connectivity. Failures are first classified based on probable causes such as maintenance …

As the Internet evolves into a ubiquitous communication infrastructure and supports
increasingly important services, its dependability in the presence of various failures …

With the foreseeable explosive growth of small cell deployment, backhaul has become the
next big challenge in the next generation wireless networks. Heterogeneous backhaul …

5G networks provide higher flexibility and improved performance compared to previous
cellular technologies. This has raised expectations on the possibility to support advanced …

Bitcoin is the most successful cryptocurrency so far. This is mainly due to its novel
consensus algorithm, which is based on proof-of-work combined with a cryptographically …

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) approaches were introduced as early as the mid-
1990s, but just recently became a well-established industry standard. Many network …

In this paper, we perform a detailed analysis of point-to-point packet delay in an operational
tier-1 network. The point-to-point delay is the time experienced by a packet from an ingress …

QoS requirements of current network control and management applications require the
ability to conduct precise measurements of network elements, including switches, routers …

The fog radio access network (F-RAN) is a promising paradigm to provide high spectral
efficiency and energy efficiency. Characterizing users to select an appropriate …

The issues of stochastically varying network delays and packet dropouts in Networked
Control System (NCS) applications have been simultaneously addressed by time domain …
