Caching and Neutrality

Pavlos Nikolopoulos, Muhammad Abdullah, Aikaterini Argyraki

We are used to defining network neutrality as absence of traffic differentiation, like policing or shaping. These mechanisms, however, are often not what determines end-users’ quality of experience (QoE). Most content today is accessed through edge caches, ...

Encrypted DNS double right arrow Privacy? A Traffic Analysis Perspective

Carmela González Troncoso, Sandra Deepthy Siby, Narseo Vallina Rodriguez

Virtually every connection to an Internet service is preceded by a DNS lookup. Lookups are performed without any traffic-level protection, thus enabling manipulation, redirection, surveillance, and censorship. To address these issues, large organizations s ...

Traffic Receipts for Network Transparency

Pavlos Nikolopoulos

Today's Internet is not transparent: when packets get lost or delayed, there is typically no information about where the problem occurred, hence no information about who is responsible. This results in Internet service providers (ISPs) offering service lev ...

Network utility maximization for delay-sensitive applications in unknown communication settings

Stefano D'Aronco

In the last decades the Internet traffic has greatly evolved. The advent of new Internet services and applications has, in fact, led to a significant growth of the amount of data transmitted, as well as to a transformation of the data type. As a matter of ...

Competition of Wireless Providers for Atomic Users

Bixio Rimoldi, Vojislav Gajic

We study a problem where wireless service providers compete for heterogenous wireless users. The users differ in their utility functions as well as in the perceived quality of service of individual providers. We model the interaction of an arbitrary number ...

Distributed Spectrum Assignment for Home WLANs

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Ruben Merz

We consider the problem of jointly allocating chan- nel center frequencies and bandwidths for IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs (WLANs). The bandwidth used on a link affects sig- nificantly both the capacity experienced on this link and the interference produced o ...
