- A Study of End-to-End Web Access Failures
- This paper presents a study of end-to-end web access failures in the Internet. Part of the characterization of failures is based on directly observable end-to-end information. The paper also presents novel analyses that reveal aspects of end-to-end failures that would be hard to discern otherwise. First, it combines end-to-end failure...

- Modeling End-to-End Available Bandwidth
- The ability to accurately predict available bandwidth of an end-to-end path is of importance for improving quality of services for end users. For instance, end users can receive high quality video if senders can select to stream video data on an end-to-end path with available bandwidth that fits the required...

- Understanding TCP Over TCP: Effects of TCP Tunneling on End-to-End Throughput and Latency
- TCP tunnel is a technology that aggregates and transfers packets sent between end hosts as a single TCP connection. By using a TCP tunnel, the fairness among aggregated flows can be improved and several protocols can be transparently transmitted through a firewall. Currently, many applications such as SSH, VTun, and...

- Efficient Monitoring of End-to-End Network Properties
- It is often desirable to monitor end-to-end properties, such as loss rates or packet delays, across an entire network. However, active end-to-end measurement in such settings does not scale well, and so complete network-wide measurement quickly becomes infeasible. More efficient measurement strategies are therefore needed. Previous work, examining this problem...

- SLA Calculus for End-to-End QoS of TCP-Based Applications in a Multi-Domain Environment
- Next-generation communication services will be offered over distributed information and communication infrastructures consisting of a multitude of administrative domains, owned by different parties. This raises the problem for service providers to provide satisfactory levels of end-to-end Quality of Service QoS, as experienced by the paying end user, in a cost-effective...

- Front-End and Back-End Server Topology Guide for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange 2000 Server
- Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server support using a server architecture that distributes server tasks among front-end and back-end servers. In this architecture, a front-end server accepts requests from clients and proxies them to the appropriate back-end server for processing. This paper discusses how Exchange Server 2003...

- Measuring End-to-End Bandwidth With Iperf Using Web100
- End-to-end bandwidth estimation tools like Iperf though fairly accurate are intrusive. This paper describes how with an instrumented TCP stack (Web100), one can estimate the end-to-end bandwidth accurately, while consuming significantly less network bandwidth and time. The paper modified Iperf to use Web100 to detect the end of slow-start and...

- Hybrid Random Early Detection Algorithm for Improving End-to-End Congestion Control in TCP/IP Networks
- The successful operation of the present Internet depends mainly upon TCP/IP which employs end-to-end congestion control mechanisms built in the end hosts. In order to further enhance this paradigm of end-to-end control the Random Early Detection algorithm has been proposed, which starts to mark or drop packets at the onset...

- Service Level Agreement Provisioning and Monitoring for End to End QoS
- Grid applications require computing, storage and network resources offered from different Resource Centers RCs. For the exchange of resources and the data transfers between two RCs an end-to-end path should be created. To provide QoS assurances to this end-to-end path, the complete path should be reserved and configured to offer...

- The Bell Labs Security Framework: Making the Case for End-to-End Wi-Fi Security
- As discussed in this paper, most of the security vulnerabilities in Wi-Fi networks can be addressed with the available protocols and security mechanisms and a reasonably secure Wi-Fi network with an acceptable level of risk for most enterprises can be deployed. To achieve this, IT organizations need a mechanism that...

- Invited Research Overview: End-User Programming
- In the past few decades there has been considerable work on empowering end users to be able to write their own programs, and as a result, users are indeed doing so. The "Programming" systems used by these end users include spreadsheet systems, web authoring tools, business process authoring tools such...

- Real-Time End-to-End Network Monitoring in Large Distributed Systems
- Measuring real-time end-to-end network path performance metrics is important for several distributed applications such as media streaming systems (e.g., for switching to paths with higher bandwidth and lower jitter) and content distribution systems (e.g., for selecting servers with lower latency). However, it is challenging to perform such end-to-end pairwise measurements...

- How Cisco IT Provides Remote Access for Small Offices and Telecommuters
- Many Cisco Systems employees have a need to work from home on a full-time, part-time, or occasional basis. In 2001, the company introduced a "Software" Virtual Private Network VPN solution to provide remote connectivity. The software solution presented limitations and management challenges. Cisco needed a way to increase the capabilities...

- End-to-End Flow Monitoring With IPFIX
- End-to-End (E2E) flow monitoring is useful for observing performance of networks such as throughput, loss rate, and jitter. Typically, E2E flow monitoring is carried out at end hosts with known tools such as iperf. However, in a large-scale network, the end-host approach for performance measurement may not be easily deployed...
