— Mutual exclusion is one of the well-studied fundamental primitives in distributed systems. However, the emerging P2P systems bring forward several challenges that can’t be co...
The Border Gateway Protocol, BGP, is currently the only interdomain routing protocol employed on the Internet. As required of any interdomain protocol, BGP allows policy-based met...

Current network protocols must comply with rigid interfaces and rules of behavior to fit into well defined, vertical protocol stacks. It is difficult for network designers to offe...
Incentives for resource sharing are crucial for the proper operation of P2P networks. The principle of the incentive mechanisms in current content sharing P2P networks such as Bit...

Abstract. In mobile ad-hoc networks, nodes act both as terminals and information relays, and participate in a common routing protocol, such as Dynamic Source Routing (DSR). The net...
