Time vs. Truth: Age-Distortion Tradeoffs and Strategies for Distributed Inference

In 1948, Claude Shannon laid the foundations of information theory, which grew out of a study to find the ultimate limits of source compression, and of reliable communication. Since then, information theory has proved itself not only as a quest to find the ...

Destination buffer analysis for packets rejection obliteration in multi-channel networks

Georgia Fragkouli

In this paper we study a multi-channel network, each station of which is equipped with a network interface that has a receiver buffer of multiple packets. In this way, each station is able to receive multiple packets per time instant. We adopt a synchronou ...

Cooperative data exchange based on MDS codes

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Su Li

The coded cooperative data exchange problem is studied for the fully connected network. In this problem, each node initially only possesses a subset of the K packets making up the file. Nodes make broadcast transmissions that are received by all other node ...

Improved Utility-based Congestion Control for Low-Delay Communication

Pascal Frossard, Laura Toni, Sergio Mena, Stefano D'Aronco

Due to the presence of buffers in the inner network nodes, each congestion event leads to buffer queueing and thus to an increasing end-to-end delay. In the case of delay sensitive applications, a large delay might not be acceptable and a solution to prope ...

Measuring and Managing Switch Diversity in Software Defined Networks

Maciej Leszek Kuzniar

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a novel approach to building computer networks. Improved flexibility, simplified management and cost reduction promised by SDN makes many see it as the future of networking. The main insight of SDN is the separation of ...

Building Evolvable Networks : Flexible and Predictable Packet Processing

Mihai Dobrescu

Software packet-processing platforms- - network devices running on general-purpose servers-- are emerging as a compelling alternative to the traditional high-end switches and routers running on specialized hardware. Their promise is to enable the fast dep ...

Creating Secrets out of Erasures

Aikaterini Argyraki, Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Panagiotis Kostopoulos

Current security systems often rely on the adversary's computational limitations. Wireless networks offer the opportunity for a different, complementary kind of security, which relies on the adversary's limited network presence (i.e., that the adversary ca ...

Empirical Performance Evaluation of Data Dissemination Mechanisms for Spot Applications

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Alaeddine El Fawal, Adel Aziz

We evaluate, by measurements on a real testbed, the performance of networking services required for spot applications. We call a “spot application” an application for smartphones (such as “Ad-hoc Flash Sales”) that disseminates information in a local neigh ...

Valuable Detours: Least-Cost Anypath Routing

Martin Vetterli, Matthias Grossglauser, Henri Julien Dubois-Ferrière

In many networks, it is less costly to transmit a packet to any node in a set of neighbors than to one specific neighbor. This observation was previously exploited by opportunistic routing protocols by using single-path routing metrics to assign to each no ...

Controlling Parallelism on Multi-core Software Routers

Aikaterini Argyraki, Mihai Dobrescu

Software routers promise to enable the fast deployment of new, sophisticated kinds of packet processing without the need to buy and deploy expensive new equipment. The challenge is offering such programmability while at the same time achieving a competitiv ...

Network coding node placement for delay minimization in streaming overlays

Pascal Frossard, Nikolaos Thomos, Nicolae Cleju

Network coding has been proposed recently as an efficient method to increase network throughput by allowing network nodes to combine packets instead of simply forwarding them. However, packet combinations in the network may increase delay, complexity and e ...

Distributed rate allocation for multi-flow video delivery

We consider rate-distortion (RD) optimized multi-flow video delivery in unstructured overlay networks. We show that this problem can be studied as a distributed rate allocation. To solve the problem over the participating peers in the overlay, we apply cla ...

Utility-based Packet Scheduling in P2P Mesh-based Multicast

Pascal Frossard

We consider streaming video content over an overlay network of peer nodes. We propose a novel streaming strategy that is built on utility-based packet scheduling and proportional resource sharing in order to fight against free- riders. Each of the peers em ...

Optimizing TCP Receive Performance

Willy Zwaenepoel, Aravind Menon

The performance of the networking stack in an operating system depends on the overhead incurred by two of its components: the per-byte overhead incurred in data-touching operations, and the per-packet overhead of protocol processing and other operating sys ...

Distributed optimization of media flows in peer-to-peer overlay networks

We consider the problem of rate-distortion (RD) optimized media streaming in unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks. We formulate the aforementioned problem as a distributed rate allocation problem. To solve the problem for all the participating ...

Secure Position-Based Routing for VANETs

Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Charles Harsch

Vehicular communication (VC) systems have the potential to improve road safety and driving comfort. Nevertheless, securing the operation is a prerequisite for deployment. So far, the security of VC applications has mostly drawn the attention of research ef ...

Secure incentives to cooperate for wireless networks

Naouel Ben Salem

The operating principle of certain wireless networks makes essential the cooperation between the mobile nodes. However, if each node is an autonomous selfish entity, cooperation is not guaranteed and therefore we need to use incentive techniques. In this t ...

Loss and Delay Accountability for the Internet

Olga Irzak, Aikaterini Argyraki

The Internet provides no information on the fate of transmitted packets, and end systems cannot determine who is responsible for dropping or delaying their traffic. As a result, they cannot verify that their ISPs are honoring their service level agreements ...

Non-cooperative behavior in wireless networks

Nash Equilibria of Packet Forwarding Strategies in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mark Felegyhazi, Levente Buttyan

In self-organizing ad hoc networks, all the networking functions rely on the contribution of the participants. As a basic example, nodes have to forward packets for each other in order to enable multi-hop communication. In recent years, incentive mechanism ...
