In-Network Processing, User-Level Stacks and the Future of Internet Evolution In this position paper we take such an approach, and discuss two components we believe to be crucial to the future evolution of the Internet. First, we argue for user-level network stacks as a means to allow quicker and easier deployment of novel protocols. Second, […]

Good cop, Bad Cop: Forcing Middleboxes to Cooperate In this paper we discuss two fundamentally different directions in which we can improve address the status quo. Our first proposal is a “good cop”: we present an API endpoints can use to understand the contract offered by the network, and discusses how one might implement this […]

Increasing Datacenter Network Utilization with GRIN Various full bisection designs have been proposed for datacenter networks. They are provisioned for the worst case in which every server sends flat out and there is no congestion anywhere in the network. However, these topologies are prone to considerable underutilisation in the average case encountered in practice. To […]

Dense urban WiFi deployments cover entire central areas, but the one thing missing is a seamless mobile experience. Mobility in WiFi has traditionally pursued fast handover, but we argue […]
