RFC 7713: Congestion Exposure (ConEx) Concepts, Abstract Mechanism, and Requirements This document describes an abstract mechanism by which senders inform the network about the congestion recently encountered by packets in the same flow. Today, network elements at any layer may signal congestion to the receiver by dropping packets or by Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) markings, […]

SMAPP: Towards Smart Multipath TCP-enabled APPlication Multipath TCP was designed and implemented as a backward compatible replacement for TCP. For this reason, it exposes the standard socket API to the applications that cannot control the utilisation of the different paths. This is a key feature for applications that are unaware of the multipath nature of […]

A first look at real Multipath TCP traffic Multipath TCP is a new TCP extension that attracts a growing interest from both researchers and industry. It enables hosts to send data over several interfaces or paths and has use cases on smartphones, datacenters or dual-stack hosts. We provide the first analysis of the operation of […]

Analysis and Enhancements to Probabilistic Caching in Content-Centric Networking In this paper, we first further investigate the use of random decision policies for caching schemes, or probabilistic caching, in Content-Centric Networking (CCN). Our main objective is to provide a mathematical model for the combination of random cache decision and least recently used (LRU) replacement policy […]

Exploiting the power of multiplicity: a holistic survey of network-layer multipath The Internet is inherently a multipath network—for an underlying network with only a single path connecting various nodes would have been debilitatingly fragile. Unfortunately, traditional Internet technologies have been designed around the restrictive assumption of a single working path between a source and a […]

Kadupul: Livin’ on the Edge with Virtual Currencies and Time-Locked Puzzles Devices connected to the Internet today have a wide range of local communication channels available, such as wireless Wifi, Bluetooth or NFC, as well as wired backhaul. In densely populated areas it is possible to create heterogeneous, multihop communication paths using a combination of […]

The Case for the Superfluid Cloud The confluence of a number of relatively recent trends including the development of virtualization technologies, the deployment of micro datacenters at PoPs, and the availability of microservers, opens up the possibility of evolving the cloud, and the network it is connected to, towards a superfluid cloud: a model where […]
