—Characterizing user churn has become an important topic in studying P2P networks, both in theoretical analysis and system design. Recent work [26] has shown that direct sampling...
This paper addresses the difficult problem of selecting representative samples of peer properties (e.g., degree, link bandwidth, number of files shared) in unstructured peer-to-p...

Active probes of network performance represent samples of the underlying performance of a system. Some effort has gone into considering appropriate sampling patterns for such probe...
This work investigates how stochastic sampling jitter noise affects the result of system identification, and proposes a modification of known approaches to mitigate the effects of...
We address the problem of measuring global quality metrics of search engines, like corpus size, index freshness, and density of duplicates in the corpus. The recently proposed est...
