This paper documents and to some extent elucidates the progress of IPv6 across major Internet stakeholders since its introduction in the mid 1990s. IPv6 offered an early solution to a well-understood and well-documented problem IPv4 was expected to encounter. In spite of early standardization and awareness of the issue, the ...

Network services often exhibit positive and negative externalities that affect users' adoption decisions. One such service is "user-provided connectivity" or UPC. The service offers an alternative to traditional infrastructure-based communication services by allowing users to share their "home base" connectivity with other users, thereby increasing their access to connectivity. More ...

User-provided connectivity (UPC) leverages the network connectivity of its users to build a service offering that goes beyond their individual connectivity option, i.e., allows them to roam. Because the service's overall value typically grows as a function of its coverage, it is important to devise pricing policies that make it ...

What determines the eventual success of a protocol? Are certain features or properties more important? Do those vary according to a protocol's type? We explore these questions by applying data mining techniques to a rich repository of protocol specifications; IETF RFCs. While the investigation is still preliminary, some interesting findings ...

The paper investigates adoption of network services whose value incorporates three key features, namely, heterogeneity in user service afinity, a positive externality, and a cost. Positive externalities often result in a \chicken and egg" problem where early adopters can see a cost that exceeds the service's (low) initial value. In ...

The paper seeks to broaden our understanding of MPTCP and focuses on the impact that initial sub-path selection can have on performance. Using empirical data, it demonstrates that which sub-path is chosen to start an MPTCP connection can have unintuitive consequences. Using numerical analysis and a model-driven investigation, the paper ...

With increasing deployment of Multipath TCP (MPTCP) in multihoming and data enter scenarios, there is a need to understand how its performance is affected in practice-both by traditional factors such as RTT measurements, and by new multipath-specific considerations such as sub flow selection. We carried out an initial but comprehensive ...

A distributed routing protocol for predictable rates in wireless mesh networksy
October 2012
ICNP '12: Proceedings of the 2012 20th IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP)
Publisher: IEEE Computer Society
Wireless mesh networks hold the promise of rapid and flexible deployments of communication facilities. This potential notwithstanding, the often erratic behavior of multihop wireless transmissions is limiting the range of applications that such networks can target. In this paper we investigate the feasibility and benefits of a routing protocol explicitly ...

Transitioning an infrastructure the size of the Internet is no small feat. We are in the midst of such a transition, i.e ., from IPv4 to IPv6. IPv6 was standardized 15 years ago, but until recently there were few incentives to adopt it. The allocation of the last large block ...

The advent of cheap and ubiquitous wireless access has introduced a number of new connectivity paradigms. This paper investigates one of them, user-provided connectivity or UPC. In contrast to traditional infrastructure-based connectivity, e.g., connectivity through the up-front build-out of expensive base-stations, UPC realizes connectivity organically as users join and expand ...

Should a new "platform" target a functionality-rich but complex and expensive design or instead opt for a bare-bone but cheaper one? This is a fundamental question with profound implications for the eventual success of any platform. A general answer is, however, elusive as it involves a complex trade-off between benefits ...

With network components increasingly reliable, routing is playing an ever greater role in determining network reliability. This has spurred much activity in improving routing stability and reaction to failures and rekindled interest in centralized routing solutions, at least within a single routing domain. Centralizing decisions eliminates uncertainty and many inconsistencies ...
