Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) provide a scalable mechanism for mapping identifiers to socket addresses. As each peer in the network can initiate lookup requests, a DHT has to process concurrently a potentially very large number of requests. In this paper, ...
In this paper we propose a set of necessary and sufficient conditions under which the throughput in an ad-hoc network can remain constant as the number of nodes n increases. Throughput refers to the minimum achievable rate between a source-destination pair ...

FUSE is a lightweight failure notification service for building distributed systems. Distributed systems built with FUSE are guaranteed that failure notifications never fail. Whenever a failure notification is triggered, all live members of the FUSE group ...
Increasing application requirements have placed heavy emphasis on building overlay networks to efficiently deliver data to multiple receivers. A key performance challenge is simultaneously achieving adaptivity to changing network conditions and scalability ...
In this paper, we argue that a broad range of large-scale network services would benefit from a scalable mechanism for delivering state about a random subset of global participants. Key to this approach is ensuring that membership in the subset changes per ...
In this work we present a multi-path routing strategy that guarantees in-order packet delivery for Networks on Chips (NoCs). We present a design methodology that uses the routing strategy to optimally spread the traffic in the NoC to minimize the network b ...
Current TCP-friendly congestion control mechanisms adjust the packet rate in order to adapt to network conditions and obtain a throughput not exceeding that of a TCP connection operating under the same conditions. In an environment where the bottleneck res ...
Our goal is to design a traffic model for non congested IP backbone links, which is simple enough to be used in network operation, while being as general as possible. The proposed solution is to model the traffic at the flow level by a Poisson shot-noise p ...
The paper presents a research 1that aims to develop a methodology that supports the elaboration and the optimisation of long term maintenance and renewal policies for railway infrastructure (strategic planning level, up to 20 years). The elaboration proces ...
