The Internet research community has in recent years taken a renewed interest in the long-standing global Internet routing scaling problem. Much of this research has taken the form of much-needed "clean-slate" research, where ideas are pursued unconstrained ...

This paper presents ViAggre (Virtual Aggregation), a "configuration-only" approach to shrinking the routing table on routers. ViAggre does not require any changes to router software and routing protocols and can be deployed independently and autonomously ...

High-speed organizational networks running over leased fiber-optic lines or VPNs suffer from the well-known limitations of TCP over long-fat pipes. High-performance protocols like XCP require changes in the network. Other protocols like FastTCP assume ...

This paper considers DoS attacks on DNS wherein attackers flood the nameservers of a zone to disrupt resolution of resource records belonging to the zone and consequently, any of its sub-zones. We propose a minor change in the caching behavior of DNS ...

Finding the nearest peer, in terms of latency, is an important problem in many Internet applications. In this paper, we argue that existing solutions, which only examine inter-peer latencies as part of their operation will find it costly, in certain ...

Increasingly, Internet users trade privacy for service. Facebook, Google, and others mine personal information to target advertising. This paper presents a preliminary and partial answer to the general question "Can users retain their privacy while still ...

In my mind, one of the biggest problems with PCs today is the quality of the review. The main reason that review quality is often bad is because PCs are overworked. This paper suggests a few ideas for how to reduce the workload on PC members, with a ...

As more and more Internet IP prefix hijacking incidents are being reported, the value of hijacking detection services has become evident. Most of the current hijacking detection approaches monitor IP prefixes on the control plane and detect inconsistencies ...

There have been many incidents of prefix hijacking in the Internet. The hijacking AS can blackhole the hijacked traffic. Alternatively, it can transparently intercept the hijacked traffic by forwarding it onto the owner. This paper presents a study of ...

Networks are hard to manage and in spite of all the so called holistic management packages, things are getting worse. We argue that the difficulty of network management can partly be attributed to a fundamental flaw in the existing architecture: protocols ...
