Over the Internet today, computing and communications environments are significantly more
complex and chaotic than classical distributed systems, lacking any centralized organization …

One of the most striking properties of the Internet is its flexibility to accommodate features it
was not conceived for. Among the most significant examples, in this survey we consider the …

Hash tables-which map" keys" onto" values"-are an essential building block in modern
software systems. We believe a similar functionality would be equally valuable to large …

Learn all you need to know about wireless sensor networks! Protocols and Architectures for
Wireless Sensor Networks provides a thorough description of the nuts and bolts of wireless …

PlanetLab is a global overlay network for developing and accessing broad-coverage
network services. Our goal is to grow to 1000 geographically distributed nodes, connected …

This paper presents DONet, a data-driven overlay network for live media streaming. The
core operations in DONet are very simple: every node periodically exchanges data …

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 …

The ability to estimate network latencies between arbitrary Internet end hosts would enable
new measurement studies and applications, such as investigating routing path inefficiencies …

This paper argues that a new class of geographically distributed network services is
emerging, and that the most effective way to design, evaluate, and deploy these services is …

This paper presents an efficient topology and route management approach in Software-
Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN). Traditional WANs suffer from low utilization and …
