Abstract. While several algorithms have been created to actively measure the end-to-end available bandwidth of a network path, they require instrumentation at both ends of the path...
As computer networks rapidly increase in size and speed, Internet-distributed systems such as P2P, volunteer computing, and Grid systems are increasingly common. A precise and acc...
In this paper, we propose a domain-specific aspect language to prevent the denials of service caused by resource management. Our aspects specify availability policies by enforcin...
Evaluating available bandwidth estimation methods requires a malleable MAC protocol implementation, precise MAC layer packet timing measurements, and the ability to create control...
BitTorrent, the immensely popular file swarming system, suffers a fundamental problem: content unavailability. Although swarming scales well to tolerate flash crowds for popular c...
