Network traffic measurement is central to successful network operations, especially for
today's hyper-scale networks. Although existing works have made great contributions, they …

RAN virtualization will become a key technology for the last mile of next-generation mobile
networks driven by initiatives such as the O-RAN alliance. However, due to the computing …

Modern programmers routinely use third-party code, and infrastructure operators deploy
software they did not write. This would not be possible without semantic interfaces …

Low-latency network stacks have brought down network latencies within end-hosts to the
microsecond-regime. However, end-host profilers have such high overheads that they are …

When diagnosing performance anomalies, it is often useful to reason about why a packet
experienced the queuing that it did. To that end, we observe that queuing is both a result of …

Radio Access Networks virtualization (vRAN) is on its way becoming a reality driven by the
new requirements in mobile networks, such as scalability and cost reduction. Unfortunately …

Intra-host networking was considered robust in the RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access)
network and received little attention. However, as the RNIC (RDMA NIC) line rate increases …

Request latency is a crucial concern for modern cloud providers. Due to various causes in
hosts and networks, requests can suffer from request latency anomalies (RLAs), which may …

Network function virtualization (NFV) enables elastic scaling to middlebox deployment and
management. Therefore, efficient stateful scaling is an important task because operators …

Network function virtualization (NFV) enables network operators to save costs and flexibility
by replacing dedicated hardware with software network functions running on commodity …
