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 …

Peer-to-peer networks based on distributed hash tables (DHTs) have received considerable
attention ever since their introduction in 2001. Unfortunately, DHT-based systems have been …

The Distance-based Content Routing (DCR) protocol is introduced, which enables routers to
maintain multiple loop-free routes to the nearest instances of a named data object or name …

IP networks today require massive effort to configure and manage. Ethernet is vastly simpler
to manage, but does not scale beyond small local area networks. This paper describes an …

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks enable users to directly share digital content (such as audio,
video, and text files) as well as real-time data (such as telephony traffic) with other users …

The Web relies on the Domain Name System (DNS) to resolve the hostname portion of
URLs into IP addresses. This marriage-of-convenience enabled the Web's meteoric rise, but …

Name services are critical for mapping logical resource names to physical resources in large-
scale distributed systems. The Domain Name System (DNS) used on the Internet, however …

Currently the Internet has only one level of name resolution, DNS, which converts user-level
domain names into IP addresses. In this paper we borrow liberally from the literature to …

We establish an O (nlog2n) upper bound on the time for deterministic distributed
broadcasting in multi-hop radio networks with unknown topology. This nearly matches the …
