While residential broadband Internet access is popular in many parts of the world, only a few
studies have examined the characteristics of such traffic. In this paper we describe …

Despite the popularity of mobile applications, their performance and energy bottlenecks
remain hidden due to a lack of visibility into the resource-constrained mobile execution …

The performance of many networked applications improves when Round Trip Time (RTT) is
reduced. With lower RTTs, human-to-human interactions become more realistic, query …

We present a data-plane algorithm that passively and continuously monitors the Round-Trip
Time of TCP traffic, by matching data packets with their associated acknowledgments and …

Cellular networks employ a specific radio resource management policy distinguishing them
from wired and Wi-Fi networks. A lack of awareness of this important mechanism potentially …

Today, large-scale web services run on complex systems, spanning multiple data centers
and content distribution networks, with performance depending on diverse factors in end …

Since the last in-depth studies of measured TCP traffic some 6-8 years ago, the Internet has
experienced significant changes, including the rapid deployment of backbone links with 1-2 …

This paper develops a high-performance, Internet-wide service discovery tool, which we call
IRLscanner, whose main design objectives have been to maximize politeness at remote …

We present the first space and time optimal parallel algorithm for the pairwise sequence
alignment problem, a fundamental problem in computational biology. This problem can be …

TCP is the most widely used transport protocol in the internet. However, it offers suboptimal
performance when operating over high bandwidth mmWave links. The main issues …
