This paper focuses on understanding the scale and the distribution of “state overhead” (briefly load) that is incurred on the routers by various value-added network services,...
Traffic burstiness has a significant impact on network performance. Burstiness can cause buffer overflows and packet drops and is particularly problematic in the context of small-b...
With the explosive growth of demand for services on the Internet, the networking infrastructure (routers, protocols, servers) is under considerable stress. Mechanisms are needed f...
— We consider the path-determination problem in Internet core routers that distribute flows across alternate paths leading to the same destination. We assume that the remainder ...
Motivated by the scale and complexity of simulating large-scale networks, recent research has focused on hybrid fluid/packet simulators, where fluid models are combined with pac...
