Abstract. A secure failure-localization path-quality-monitoring (FLPQM) protocols allows a sender to localize faulty links on a single path through a network to a receiver, even wh...
We examine a class of collective coin- ipping games that arises from randomized distributed algorithms with halting failures. In these games, a sequence of local coin ips is gener...
Complex systems researchers have looked to the Internet as a possible source of interesting emergent behaviour. Indeed, some high profile failures, and some low level phenomena, m...
The convergence time of the interdomain routing protocol, BGP, can last as long as 30 minutes [14,15]. Yet, routing behavior during BGP route convergence is poorly understood. BGP...
We show a tight lower bound of Ω(N log log N) on the number of transmissions required to compute several functions (including the parity function and the majority function) in a...
