- Stochastic Analysis of Network Coding in Epidemic Routing
- Epidemic routing has been proposed to reduce the data transmission delay in disruption tolerant wireless networks, in which data can be replicated along multiple opportunistic paths as different nodes move within each other's communication range. With the advent of network coding, it is intuitive that data can not only be...

- Performance Modeling of Network Coding in Epidemic Routing
- Epidemic routing has been proposed to reduce the data transmission delay in opportunistic networks, in which data can be either replicated or network coded along the opportunistic multiple paths. This paper introduce an analytical framework to study the performance of network coding based epidemic routing, in comparison with replication based...

- Performance Modeling of Epidemic Routing
- This paper develops a rigorous, unified framework based on Ordinary Differential Equations ODEs to study epidemic routing and its variations. These ODEs can be derived as limits of Markovian models under a natural scaling as the number of nodes increases. While an analytical study of Markovian models is quite complex...

- Sampling Strategies for Epidemic-Style Information Dissemination
- This paper considers epidemic-style information dissemination strategies that leverage the non-uniformity of host distribution over subnets (e.g., IP subnets) to optimize the information spread. Such epidemic-style strategies are based on random sampling of target hosts according to a sampling rule. The objective of this paper is to optimize the information...

- Distributive Immunization of Networks Against Viruses Using the 'Honey-Pot' Architecture
- Although computer viruses cause tremendous economic loss, defence mechanisms fail to adapt to their rapid evolution. Previous immunization strategies have been characterized as being static and centralized, which has made virus containment difficult or even impossible. The authors suggest, instead, to propagate the immunization agent as an epidemic. The main...

- Forensic Analysis for Epidemic Attacks in Federated Networks
- This paper presents the design of a Network Forensic Alliance NFA, to allow multiple Administrative Domains ADs to jointly locate the origin of epidemic spreading attacks. ADs in the NFA collaborate in a distributed protocol for post-mortem analysis of worm-like attacks. Information exchange between any two participating ADs is limited...
