In a wireless network with nodeexclusivespectrumsharing, two popular schedules are maximum weight matching (MWM) schedule and maximum size matching (MSM) schedule. The former has been proved to be throughput optimal and has superior delay properties, and the latter schedules as many links, with packets to transmit, as possible. However, it is challenging to design algorithms for computing these...
Cisco's NetFlow collector (NFC) is a powerful example of a real-world product that supports multiple aggregate queries over a continuous stream of IP flow records. NFC enables a plethora of network management tasks like traffic demands estimation, application traffic profiling, etc. In this paper, we investigate two computation sharing techniques for enabling streaming applications such as NFC to...
In this paper, we propose new "low-overhead" network monitoring techniques to detect violations of path-level QoS guarantees like end-to-end delay, loss, etc. Unlike existing path monitoring schemes, our approach does not calculate QoS parameters for all paths. Instead, it monitors QoS values for only a few paths, and exploits the fact that path anomalies are rare and anomalous states are...
IEEE 802.11 WiFi equipment based wireless mesh networks have recently been proposed as an inexpensive approach to connect far-flung rural areas. Such networks are built using high-gain directional antennas that can establish long-distance wireless point-to-point links. Some nodes in the network (called gateway nodes) are directly connected to the wired internet, and the remaining nodes connect to...
In this paper, we develop passive network tomography techniques for inferring link-level anomalies like excessive loss rates and delay from path-level measurements. Our approach involves placing a few passive monitoring devices on strategic links within the network, and then passively monitoring the performance of network paths that pass through those links. In order to keep the monitoring infrastructure...
In many distributed environments, the primary function of monitoring software is to detect anomalies, i.e., instances when system behavior deviates substantially from the norm. In this paper, we propose communication-efficient schemes for the anomaly detection problem, which we model as one of detecting the violation of global constraints defined over distributed system variables. Our approach eliminates...
VillageNet is a wireless mesh network that aims to provide low-cost broadband Internet access for rural regions. The cost of building the network is kept low by using off-the-shelf IEEE 802.11 equipment and optimizing the network topology to minimize cost. In this paper we describe the over-all operation of VillageNet and discuss two fundamental problems in building such a network. Nodes in VillageNet...
