Modern websites set multiple authentication cookies during the login process to allow users to remain authenticated over the duration of a web session. Web applications use cookie-based authentication to provide different ...

This paper presents provably correct algorithms for computing the outcome of the BGP route-selection process for each router in a network, without simulating the complex details of BGP message passing. The algorithms ...

We present the first large-scale analysis of Web performance bottlenecks as measured from broadband access networks, using data collected from two extensive home router deployments. We design and implement tools and ...

This paper introduces event-driven network control, a network control framework that makes networks easier to manage by automating many tasks that must currently be performed by manually modifying low-level, distributed, ...

Most users of home networks have experienced the intense frustration that comes with diagnosing poor performance. Even determining something as simple as whether a performance problem lies with the ISP or somewhere in ...

Today’s Internet achieves end-to-end connectivity through bilateral contracts between neighboring networks; unfortunately, this “one size fits all” connectivity results in less efficient paths, unsold capacity and unmet ...

Network operators use traffic engineering to control the flow of traffic across their networks. Existing TE methods establish static topologies offline, either by setting link weights or by configuring paths a priori. These ...

Web mail providers rely on users to “vote” to quickly and collaboratively identify spam messages. Unfortunately, spammers have begun to use large collections of compromised accounts not only to send spam, but also to ...

This paper presents an analysis of the performance of residential access networks using over four months of round-trip, download, and upload measurements from more than 7,000 users across four ADSL and cable providers ...

The increasing programmability of network devices gives protocol designers and network operators considerably more flexibility in defining custom protocols and traffic processing functions. Today, network operators and ...
