- Tability of Load Balancing Algorithms in Dynamic Adversarial Systems
- In a distributed network of computing hosts, the performance of the system can depend crucially on dividing up work effectively across the participating nodes. This type of load balancing problem has been studied in many different models, centered around the idea that an algorithm should avoid creating "Hot spots" that...

- Scalable Coordination Techniques for Distributed Network Monitoring
- Emerging network monitoring infrastructures capture packet-level traces or keep per-flow statistics at a set of distributed vantage points. Today, distributed monitors in such an infrastructure do not co-ordinate monitoring effort, which both can lead to duplication of effort and can complicate subsequent data analysis. The paper argues that nodes in...

- DiMAPI: An Application Programming Interface for Distributed Network Monitoring
- Network monitoring and measurement is commonly regarded as an essential function for understanding, managing and improving the performance and security of network infrastructures. Traditional passive network monitoring approaches are not adequate for fine-grained performance measurements nor for security applications. In addition, many applications would benefit from monitoring data gathered at...

- Extending Network Visibility by Leveraging NetFlow and sFlow Technologies
- NetFlow and sFlow® are traffic reporting mechanisms that manufacturers have embedded into enterprise-level switches and routers. This paper describes the strengths and limitations of these technologies, and why combining NetFlow/sFlow reporting mechanisms with a distributed network analyzer is a best practice in network monitoring. Deploying a distributed analyzer that can...
