The Internet protocol suite, TCP/IP, was first proposed fifteen years ago. It was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and has been used widely in military and commercial systems. While there have been papers and specifications that describe how the protocols work, it is sometimes difficult to deduce from these why the protocol is as it is. For example, the Internet protocol is based on a connectionless or datagram mode of service. The motivation for this has been…

A dynamic network architecture
TLDR
This paper describes a new way to organize network software that differs from conventional architectures in all three of these properties; the protocol graph is complex, individual protocols encapsulate a single function, and the topology of the graph is dynamic.
Routing Sets and Hint-Based Routing

TLDR
Conceptual organizational scheme called routing sets is presented, which would allow flexibility in the choice of routing policy, and an IPv6 extension and algorithm is presented for routing using hints, which moves some of the routing responsibility onto the end hosts, potentially freeing routers of a great deal of the routed state burden.
TCP ex machina: computer-generated congestion control
TLDR
A program called Remy is developed that generates congestion-control algorithms to run at the endpoints that outperformed human-designed end-to-end techniques, including TCP Cubic, Compound, and Vegas.
Packet Subscriptions for Programmable ASICs
TLDR
This paper describes a compiler for packet subscriptions that uses a novel BDD-based algorithm to efficiently translate predicates into P4 tables that can support O(100K) expressions.
A Survey of End-System Optimizations for High-Speed Networks
TLDR
This survey describes the most promising techniques in high-speed data networking, beginning with network architectures and NIC design, continuing with operating and end-system architectures, and concluding with clean-slate protocol design.
On programmable networking evolution
TLDR
A short survey of programmable networks starting from pre-Software Defined Networking efforts to the more recent programmable data-plane, highlighting the benefits and challenges and presenting some of the challenges and future research directions.
Inferring BGP blackholing activity in the internet
TLDR
This paper develops and evaluates a methodology to automatically detect BGP blackholing activity in the wild, and assesses the effect of black holing on the data plane using both targeted active measurements as well as passive datasets, finding thatblackholing is indeed highly effective in dropping traffic before it reaches its destination, though it also discards legitimate traffic.
The compositional architecture of the internet
TLDR
A new model for describing the Internet reflects today's reality and the future's needs and is based on a review of existing models and new research.
Cruxes for visual domain sonification in digital arts
ABSTRACT Two main types of human perception are seeing and hearing. They play a central role in everyday life, scientific research, and also fine arts. Especially in the visual arts, linking the…
