This paper proposes a host-driven method for flowlet balancing using Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6), reducing tail latency by 15% and 33% compared to random flowlet balancing and ECMP, respectively.

The paper introduces R$^2$A, an adversarial attack that uses suffix optimization to mislead black-box LLM routers into consistently selecting expensive, high-capability models.

The paper proposes Shaperd, a real-time traffic shaper designed to enhance the resilience of fully encrypted protocols against censorship by allowing users to generate traffic flows with customizable…

The paper details a novel, practical cryptanalytic attack exploiting a race-condition vulnerability in the XNU kernel's IPv6 Fragment ID PRNG, allowing attackers to predict and spoof fragment IDs.

This paper proposes a new approach for designing Radio Access Network (RAN) slices in 5G and beyond networks using descriptors that consider both transmission rate and latency requirements to support…

This paper presents AlphaRoute, a multi-objective adaptive search framework for VLSI global routing using Large Language Models as semantic policy optimizers.

TIP introduces a decentralized, declarative protocol that enables flexible IoT interoperability by resolving abstract intents and performing on-the-fly, sandboxed schema adaptation across heterogeneou…

ProcRoute is a system that restricts internal network route access to specific, authorized applications, preventing unprivileged processes from exploiting split-tunnel VPN routes.

This paper provides new upper bounds and algorithms for the shortest path map equivalence decomposition of a polygonal domain, leading to solutions for two-point shortest path queries, geodesic diamet…

The ZCube topology, which eliminates path multiplicity and reduces switching hardware, delivers better performance for large model training and inference than traditional multipath datacenter networks…

This paper introduces Path Consistency Scoring (PCS), a framework that evaluates router geolocation as a path-level consistency problem and produces a path consistency score based on a Hidden Markov M…

This paper identifies and characterizes NTP Pool servers that harvest IPv6 client addresses and uses them for reconnaissance, port scanning, and service enumeration.

The paper introduces KBF, a low-cost black-box auditing protocol that fingerprints LLM APIs by analyzing stable numerical recall near the knowledge boundary, successfully detecting numerous model subs…

The paper introduces KBF, a novel black-box auditing protocol that fingerprints LLM APIs by analyzing stable numerical recall near the knowledge boundary, effectively detecting model substitutions and…

The paper proposes a quantum-resilient session-key establishment scheme that fragments a new key across multiple, independently encrypted Tor circuits, requiring an adversary to compromise many circui…

The paper proposes PPRoute, a privacy-preserving LLM routing framework that significantly speeds up secure model selection while maintaining high performance comparable to non-private methods.

This paper introduces the $k$-Step-Central Shortest Path problem to maximize reachability in transportation networks and provides a polynomial-time algorithm for unweighted graphs.

The paper introduces 'Routing Hijacking,' a severe attack where malicious clients forge semantic profiles in Federated RAG systems to misroute target queries, and proposes a trust-aware post-routing f…
