Pathak et al (2010) Measuring and Optimizing TCP Splitting for Cloud Services (PAM)

June 4, 2010 paper

Split TCP: Put a proxy in between the client and the server so that the client’s request is handled by the proxy and the proxy is holding persistent connections to the server. In this case, 3-way handshake only happen between client and the proxy and the proxy can enjoy an... [more]

Garcia-Lunes-Aceves (1993) Loop-Free Routing Using Diffusing Computations (TON)

June 1, 2010 paper

This paper describes the DUAL (diffusion update algorithm), which is used in Cisco’s EIGRP. The algorithm guarantees loop-free routing at any time by imposing a constraint (feasibility condition) on route update. The feasibility condition is a conservative condition in the sense that it rejects some legitimate route update so that... [more]
