Cooperative Attack and Defense in Distributed Networks

Computer networks are becoming increasingly decentralized. No single entity controls the entire system; therefore, no entity can compel compliance. Peer-to-peer file sharing systems connect users to exchange information, yet lack a hierarchical organization so they can increase efficiency and avoid single points of failure. Wireless sensor networks are assembled from...

Advanced Indexing Techniques for Wide-Area Network Monitoring

Detecting and unraveling incipient coordinated attacks on Internet resources requires a distributed network monitoring infrastructure. Such an infrastructure will have two logically distinct elements: distributed monitors that continuously collect packet and flow-level information, and a distributed query system that allows network operators to efficiently and rapidly access this information. The...

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...

D-Link's Distributed Network Architecture (DNA)

As today's networks grow and evolve, the burden on infrastructure increases due to larger numbers of users, multiple locations, high bandwidth applications, and distributed data storage. These challenges and others can stretch networks to a breaking point, impacting business operations and, ultimately, the bottom line. To meet the network growth...

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...

A VLAN Ethernet Backplane for Distributed Network Systems

In a network system, such as a router or a switch, it is difficult to achieve flexibility and performance at the same time. This paper proposes an architecture that consists of network processors for packet processing and a VLAN-based Ethernet backplane for switching. This allows to use flexible network processors...

Distributed Network Architecture for WiMAX: Digital, Converged, Mobile IP World

With a distributed WiMAX network architecture, the WiMAX system simply becomes an extension of the IP network to the mobile user. Leveraging simple IP-based backhaul connections, service providers can very readily service a myriad of WiMAX base sites (e.g. large, medium, sectorized, omni, micro, pico) for varying coverage and capacity...

Analysis of Policy Anomalies on Distributed Network Security Setups

The use of different network security components, such as firewalls and Network Intrusion Detection Systems NIDSs, is the dominant method to survey and guarantee the security policy in current corporate networks. On the one hand, firewalls are traditional security components which provide means to filter traffic within corporate networks, as...

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...

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...
