Protecting Sensitive Data on Ethernet WAN: How to Reduce Cost and Complexity of Network Security

Universal connectivity is essential in today's complex business environments. Driven by the convergence of data, voice, and video over sophisticated and expanding networks, growth in demand for bandwidth is outpacing Moore's Law to supply sufficient throughput. To meet this increasing demand, organizations are looking not only for larger network pipes...

Temporal Granular Logic for Temporal Data Mining

In this paper, a formalism for a specific temporal data mining task (the discovery of rules, inferred from databases of events having a temporal dimension), is defined. The proposed theoretical framework, based on first-order temporal logic, allows the definition of the main notions (event, temporal rule, constraint) in a formal...

Dynamic Load Balancing Without Packet Reordering

Dynamic load balancing is a popular recent technique that protects ISP networks from sudden congestion caused by load spikes or link failures. Dynamic load balancing protocols, however, require schemes for splitting traffic across multiple paths at a fine granularity. Current splitting schemes present a tussle between slicing granularity and packet...

Detailed Diagnosis in Enterprise Networks

By studying trouble tickets from small enterprise networks, the paper concludes that their operators need detailed fault diagnosis. That is, the diagnostic system should be able to diagnose not only generic faults (e.g., performance-related) but also application specific faults (e.g., error codes). It should also identify culprits at a fine...
