Data replication is a key technology in distributed systems that enables higher availability
and performance. This article surveys optimistic replication algorithms. They allow replica …

We propose using coordinates-based mechanisms in a peer-to-peer architecture to predict
Internet network distance (ie round-trip propagation and transmission delay). We study two …

In this paper, we present the design, implementation, and evaluation of iPlane, a scalable
service providing accurate predictions of Internet path performance for emerging overlay …

As the Internet's de facto interdomain routing protocol, the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is
the glue that holds the disparate parts of the Internet together. A major limitation of BGP is its …

We analyze IS-IS routing updates from sprint's IP network to characterize failures that affect
IP connectivity. Failures are first classified based on probable causes such as maintenance …

As the Internet evolves into a ubiquitous communication infrastructure and supports
increasingly important services, its dependability in the presence of various failures …

Since the identification of long-range dependence in network traffic ten years ago, its
consistent appearance across numerous measurement studies has largely discredited …

Many Internet protocols and operational procedures use measurements to guide future
actions. This is an effective strategy if the quantities being measured exhibit a degree of …

Replicating content across a geographically distributed set of servers and redirecting clients
to the closest server in terms of latency has emerged as a common paradigm for improving …
