A network covert channel is a mechanism that can be used to leak information across a network in violation of a security policy and in a manner that can be difficult to detect. In...
Network protocols must work. The effects of protocol specification or implementation errors range from reduced performance, to security breaches, to bringing down entire networks....
In this paper, we model the cost incurred by each peer participating in a peer-to-peer network. Such a cost model allows to gauge potential disincentives for peers to collaborate,...
In the present paper routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in optical WDM networks is discussed. Previous techniques on based on the integer linear programming and graph coloring...
In this paper, we propose a general survivability quantification framework which is applicable to a wide range of system architectures, applications, failure/recovery behaviors, ...
