Programmable data planes allow users to define their own data plane algorithms for network
devices including appropriate data plane application programming interfaces (APIs) which …

Programmable data plane technologies enable the systematic reconfiguration of the low-
level processing steps applied to network packets and are key drivers toward realizing the …

Traditionally, the data plane has been designed with fixed functions to forward packets using
a small set of protocols. This closed-design paradigm has limited the capability of the …

Programmable data plane hardware creates new opportunities for infusing intelligence into
the network. This raises a fundamental question: what kinds of computation should be …

Round-trip time (RTT) is a central metric that influences end-user QoE and can expose traffic-
interception attacks. Many popular RTT monitoring techniques either send active probes …

In this paper, we explore new possibilities, created by programmable switches, for fast
rerouting upon signals triggered by Internet traffic disruptions. We present Blink, a data …

The emergence of the IoT, cloud systems, data centers, and 5G networks is increasing the
demand for a rapid development of new applications and protocols at all levels of the …

Software-defined networking (SDN) has emerged as a new network paradigm that promises
control/data plane separation and centralized network control. While these features simplify …

Ripple: A Programmable, Decentralized Link-Flooding Defense Against Adaptive Adversaries

We present a data-plane algorithm that passively and continuously monitors the Round-Trip
Time of TCP traffic, by matching data packets with their associated acknowledgments and …
