Existing empirical studies of Internet structure and path properties indicate that the Internet is
tree-like. This work quantifies the degree to which at least two important Internet measures …

Establishing a clear and timely picture of Internet topology is complicated by many factors
including the vast size and dynamic nature of the infrastructure. In this paper, we describe a …

Hybrid cloud computing combines private clouds with geographically-distributed resources
from public clouds, desktop grids or in-house gateways to provide the most flexibility of each …

The network distance service obtains the network latency among large-scale nodes. With
increasing numbers of participating nodes, the network distance service has to balance the …

Computing the level of trust between two indirectly connected users in an online social
network (OSN) is a problem that has received considerable attention of researchers in …

The performance of Internet applications is heavily affected by the end-to-end available
bandwidth. Thus, it is very important to examine how to accurately predict the available …

Round-trip time (RTT) is defined as the round-trip delay of a data packet between a source
and a destination node and is a very important metric for measuring the performance of …

Network distance prediction is important in many emerging applications, such as proximity-
aware content redirection in CDNs and matchmaking in network games. Network coordinate …

The network proximity metrics, such as bottleneck bandwidth and round-trip time, are very
useful in different network applications. The round-trip-time prediction has been studied …

The increasing popularity of Internet bandwidth-intensive applications prompts us to
consider followingproblem: How to compute efficient collective communication schemes on …
