We show how to build cheap and large CAMs, or CLAMs, using flash memory. These CLAMs are targeted at an emerging class of networking applications that require massive indexes running into a hundred GB or more, with items ...

Modern SMTP servers apply a variety of mechanisms to stem the volume of spam delivered to users. These techniques can be broadly classified into two categories: preacceptance approaches, which apply prior to a message ...

The Internet?s routing protocol provides users a single end-to-end route that is not guaranteed to be available or to meet user requirements. Our paper addresses this rigidity using an economically grounded approach that ...

Many past systems have explored how to eliminate redundant transfers from network links and improve network efficiency. Several of these systems operate at the application layer, while the more recent systems operate on ...

We propose extending the service interface of IP with the ability to carry small payments from the sender to the receiver and to ISPs on the path. This allows an endpoint to purchase improved end to end service for the ...

On November 11, 2008, the primary web hosting company, McColo, for the command and control servers of Srizbi botnet was shutdown by its upstream ISPs. Subsequent reports claimed that the volume of spam dropped significantly ...

Anecdotal evidence and intuition suggest that an operator?s ability to manage a network decreases as the network becomes more complex. However, there is currently no way to systematically quantify how complex a network?s ...

The Internet carries a vast amount and a wide range of content. Some of this content is more popular, and accessed more frequently, than others. The popularity of content could be quite ephemeral - e.g., a Web flash ...

Internet quality of service is required by many applications such as interactive voice and video that could fuel the further growth of the network, but it is not widely available to end-users. While ISPs are providing QoS ...
