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

Network traffic measurements provide essential data for networking research and network
management. In this article we describe a passive monitoring system designed to capture …

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 …

Per-flow traffic measurement is critical for usage accounting, traffic engineering, and
anomaly detection. Previous methodologies are either based on random sampling (eg …

We present the design of a routing system in which end-systems set tags to select non-
shortest path routes as an alternative to explicit source routes. Routers collectively generate …

A recent trend in routing research is to avoid inefficiencies in network-level routing by
allowing hosts to either choose routes themselves (eg, source routing) or use overlay routing …

Link failures are part of the day-to-day operation of a network due to many causes such as
maintenance, faulty interfaces, and accidental fiber cuts. Commonly deployed link state …

As the Internet takes an increasingly central role in our communications infrastructure, the
slow convergence of routing protocols after a network failure becomes a growing problem …

Traditionally, the networking industry has been dominated by closed and proprietary
hardware and software. Vendors have been controlling the network by hard-coding how …
