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.

This paper investigates a network side-channel vulnerability in multi-tenant datacenter fabrics caused by shared congestion behavior, achieving up to 97.3% run-level accuracy in workload inference.

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…

Proposed ProFlow, a proactive flow-placement framework using distributed telemetry signals and offline-trained RL for identifying precursor congestion conditions and rerouting protected flows in multi…

This paper proposes a carbon-aware routing policy for geo-distributed cloud deployments, achieving up to 46.8% carbon reduction while maintaining zero SLA violations.

This paper proposes CAPS, a scheduling layer for data centers that separates rate computation and packet scheduling, reducing queue occupancy by up to 10x without throughput loss.

This study analyzed I2P's routing topology and found no significant evidence that peer selection is influenced by geographic location, suggesting highly random global mixing.

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

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…

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 proposes a budget-adaptive routing method for edge-cloud inference collaborations, which selects between weak-skipping and weak-conditioned placement based on offload budget.

This paper proposes cross-IP request coalescing to reduce latency in virtualized cloud data centers by submitting multi-device I/O as a single compound request.

This paper proposes a hierarchical analytical framework to characterize region-level latency differences in Low-Earth orbit satellite Internet using Starlink RTT measurements.

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

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 introduces Virtual Time-Sensitive Networking (V-TSN), a software-defined overlay for gPTP-based synchronization and TSN traffic shaping over general-purpose networks without specialized har…

The paper analyzes persistent TLS misconfigurations and introduces TLSGatekeeper, a high-performance, network-based tool that enforces security policies by monitoring TLS handshakes without requiring…
