Link failures are part of the day-to-day operation of a network due to many causes such as
maintenance, faulty interfaces, and accidental fiber cuts. Commonly deployed link state …

Many studies show that, when Internet links go up or down, the dynamics of BGP may cause
several minutes of packet loss. The loss occurs even when multiple paths between the …

When using link-state protocols such as OSPF or IS-IS, forwarding loops can occur
transiently when the routers adapt their forwarding tables as a response to a topological …

To proactively defend against intruders from readily jeopardizing single-path data sessions,
we propose a distributed secure multipath solution to route data across multiple paths so …

Failure recovery in IP networks is critical to high quality service provisioning. The main
challenge is how to achieve fast recovery without introducing high complexity and resource …

The slow convergence of IGP routing protocols after a topology change has led to several
proposals for proactive recovery schemes in IP networks. These proposals are limited to …

Recovery of traffic in connectionless pure IP networks has traditionally been handled by a
full re-convergence of the network state. This process operates in a time scale that is not …

Slow convergence of IP routing in case of network component failures represents a problem
for emerging time-critical network applications. It has motivated work on IP fast reroute …

Multimedia distribution, especially broadcast TV distribution over an IP network requires
high bandwidth combined with tight latency and loss constraints, even under failure …

The IP protocol suite has been initallyi designed to provide best effort reachability among the
nodes of a network or an inter-network. The goal was to design a set of routing solutions that …
