Traffic engineering is an important mechanism for Internet network providers seeking to
optimize network performance and traffic delivery. Routing optimization plays a key role in …

As peer-to-peer (P2P) emerges as a major paradigm for scalable network application
design, it also exposes significant new challenges in achieving efficient and fair utilization of …

Disruption tolerant networks (DTNs) are a class of networks in which no contemporaneous
path may exist between the source and destination at a given time. In such a network …

We present path splicing, a new routing primitive that allows network paths to be constructed
by combining multiple routing trees (" slices") to each destination over a single network …

A user located in a congested area of a wireless LAN may benefit by moving to a less-
crowded area and using a less-loaded access point. This idea has gained attention from …

Overlay routing has been successful as an incremental method to improve Internet routing
by allowing its own users to select their logical routing. In the meantime, traffic engineering …

In today's Internet, inter-domain route control remains elusive; nevertheless, such control
could improve the performance, reliability, and utility of the network for end users and ISPs …

For multi-hop ad hoc networks formed by individually owned nodes, the endpoints can only
observe whether or not the end-to-end transaction was successful or not, but not the …

Server selection plays an essential role in content replication networks, such as peer-to-peer
(P2P) and content delivery networks (CDNs). In this paper, we perform an analytical …

Traditionally, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) make profit by providing Internet connectivity,
while content providers (CPs) play the more lucrative role of delivering content to users. As …
