Network measurement remains a missing piece in today's software packet processing
platforms. Sketches provide a promising building block for filling this void by monitoring …

With lower latency and higher bandwidth than its predecessor 3G networks, the latest
cellular technology 4G LTE has been attracting many new users. However, the interactions …

Using data from 43 users across two platforms, we present a detailed look at smartphone
traffic. We find that browsing contributes over half of the traffic, while each of email, media …

Data centers deploy a variety of middleboxes (eg, firewalls, load balancers and SSL
offloaders) to protect, manage and improve the performance of applications and services …

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 …

Dynamic load balancing is a popular recent technique that protects ISP networks from
sudden congestion caused by load spikes or link failures. Dynamic load balancing …

Fast detection of heavy flows (eg, heavy hitters and heavy changers) in massive network
traffic is challenging due to the stringent requirements of fast packet processing and limited …

3G cellular data networks have recently witnessed explosive growth. In this work, we focus
on UMTS, one of the most popular 3G mobile communication technologies. Our work is the …

For many Internet services, reducing latency improves the user experience and increases
revenue for the service provider. While in principle latencies could nearly match the speed of …

The ongoing evolution of technologies and network services on the Internet indicates
ongoing changes in traffic and flow characteristics. Since the analysis of flow characteristics …
