- Bringing P2P to the Web: Security and Privacy in the Firecoral Network
- Peer-to-peer systems have been a disruptive technology for enabling large-scale Internet content distribution. Yet web browsers, today's dominant application platform, seem inherently based on the client/server communication model. This paper presents the design of Firecoral, a browser-based extension platform that enables the peer-to-peer exchange of web content in a secure,...

- Is This Macro Parameter Blank?
- The first thing most macros do is checking input parameters. Still, many macro users are unsure when it comes to implementing the parameter checks. This is the case even with the most elementary form, namely the check of the existence of a parameter value, or the "Is-Blank" check. One reviews...

- "Faster Packet Forwarding in a Scalable Ethernet Architecture"
- Enterprise networks are medium-to-large networks which connect a few hundred or a few thousand end hosts to each other and to other networks, such as the Internet. Providing reliable and efficient networking service while minimizing the need for network administration is a critical need in today's world where availability is...

- UFO: A Resilient Layered Routing Architecture
- Conventional wisdom has held that routing protocols cannot achieve both scalability and high availability. Despite scaling rather well, today's Internet routing system does not react quickly to changing network conditions. Overlay networks, on the other hand, can respond quickly to changing network conditions, but their reliance on aggressive probing does...

- Building a Robust Software-Based Router Using Network Processors
- This paper describes the experiences using emerging network processors - in particular, the Intel IXP1200 - to implement a router. This paper shows that it is possible to combine an IXP1200 development board and a PC to build an inexpensive router that forwards minimum-sized packets at a rate of 3.47Mpps....

- Runtime Power Monitoring in High-End Processors: Methodology and Empirical Data
- This paper describes the technique for a coordinated measurement approach that combines real total power measurement with performance-counter-based, per-unit power estimation. The resulting tool offers live total power measurements for Intel Pentium 4 processors, and also provides power breakdowns for 22 of the major CPU subunits over minutes of SPEC2000...

- Toward greener jet fuels
- Researchers at Princeton University are currently working on two projects to reduce jet travel's role in global warming. The first one, a major project funded by the U.S. Air Force with $7.5 million, is focused on developing computational models that accurately simulate the burning of jet fuel, a complex process...

- Link-State Routing With Hop-by-Hop Forwarding Can Achieve Optimal Traffic Engineering
- Link-state routing with hop-by-hop forwarding is widely used in the Internet today. The current versions of these protocols, like OSPF, split traffic evenly over shortest paths based on link weights. However, optimizing the link weights for OSPF to the offered traffic is an NP-hard problem, and even the best setting...

- On Survivable Access Network Design: Complexity and Algorithms
- With economic constraints and limited routing capability, the structure of an access network is typically a "fat tree", where the terminal has to relay the traffic from another terminal of the same or higher level. New graph theory problems naturally arise from such features of access network models, different from...

- Filtering Image Spam With Near-Duplicate Detection
- A new trend in email spam is the emergence of image spam. Although current anti-spam technologies are quite successful in filtering text-based spam emails, the new image spams are substantially more difficult to detect, as they employ a variety of image creation and randomization algorithms. Spam image creation algorithms are...

- Towards Internet-Wide Multipath Routing
- Today's Internet would be more efficient and robust if routers could flexibly divide traffic over multiple paths. Often, having just a few alternate paths is sufficient for customizing paths for different applications, improving security, reacting to failures and balancing load. Yet alternate paths are often unavailable, due to two barriers....

- Revisiting Ethernet: Plug-and-Play Made Scalable and Efficient
- Because Ethernet bridging does not scale, most enterprise networks consist of small Ethernet-based subnets interconnected by IP routers. Although Ethernet's flat addressing and transparent bridging allow each subnet to run with minimal configuration, interconnecting subnets at the IP level introduces significant management overhead that increases with the size of the...

- HEAT: Scalable Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks Using Temperature Fields
- Existing unicast routing protocols like for example AODV are not suited well for wireless mesh networks as in such networks, most traffic flows between a large number of mobile nodes and a few access points with Internet connectivity. This paper proposes HEAT, an anycast routing protocol for this type of...

- Optimal Scheduling for OFDMA Systems
- This paper considers a scheduling and resource allocation problem for the downlink of an OFDMA-based wireless network, where the channel estimation error is modeled by a self-noise term in the decoding process. During each time-slot this involves selecting a subset of users for transmission, determining the assignment of available subcarriers...

These underwater robots will work together without human input. The goal of this program is to make detailed and efficient observations of the ocean, but...

- Psychologists from Princeton University have shown that initial public offerings IPOs for companies with easily pronounced names are doing better than for the ones with awkward names. The same effect affects stock ticker symbols. For example, a stock with the symbol BAL should outperform one with the symbol BDL. This...
