The modern science of networks has brought significant advances to our understanding of
complex systems. One of the most relevant features of graphs representing real systems is …

Hash tables-which map" keys" onto" values"-are an essential building block in modern
software systems. We believe a similar functionality would be equally valuable to large …

The paper studies two types of events that often overload Web sites to a point when their
services are degraded or disrupted entirely-flash events (FEs) and denial of service attacks …

There has been an increasing deployment of content distribution networks (CDNs) that offer
hosting services to Web content providers. CDNs deploy a set of servers distributed …

The use of peer-to-peer (P2P) applications is growing dramaticaliy, particularly for sharing
large video/audio files and software. In this paper, we analyze P2P traffic by measuring flow …

In this paper, we ask whether it is possible to build an IP address to geographic location
map** service for Internet hosts. Such a service would enable a large and interesting …

A number of large-scale distributed Internet applications could potentially benefit from some
level of knowledge about the relative proximity between its participating host nodes. For …

IP spoofing has often been exploited by Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks to: 1)
conceal flooding sources and dilute localities in flooding traffic, and 2) coax legitimate hosts …

In this paper, we discuss the problem of distributing streaming media content, both live and
on-demand, to a large number of hosts in a scalable way. Our work is set in the context of …
