Over the years, active queue management (AQM) and end-to-end low-priority congestion control (LPCC) have been proposed as alternative solutions to counter the persistently full buffer problem -- that recently became popular under the \"bufferbloat\" term.\u0000 In this work, we point out the existence of a negative interplay among AQM and LPCC techniques. Intuitively, as AQM is designed to penalize the most aggressive flows it mainly hit best effort TCP: it follows that LPCC is not able to maintain its low priority, thus becoming as aggressive as TCP. By an extended set of simulation on various AQM policies and LPCC protocols, including the very recent CoDel AQM and LEDBAT LPCC proposals, we point out that this interference is quite universal and deserves further attention.","PeriodicalId":185637,"journal":{"name":"CoNEXT Student '12","volume":"885 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116168139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many cases, these new architectures enable a variety of \"services\" in the network that can be used to customize network functionality and to add new features after deployment. One key challenge to such network services is that they need to be composed from various networking resources at runtime. Therefore, it is critical to develop methods for accurately specifying the semantics of network services and composing them dynamically. In this article, we propose a service description semantic, discuss how to formalize the service composition problem and use the formalization in conjunction with a logic planner to provide an efficient solution.","PeriodicalId":185637,"journal":{"name":"CoNEXT Student '12","volume":"52 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126620453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As middleboxes have become ubiquitous, it has become nigh impossible for alternative transports to exist and so application developers have come to view opening a TCP socket as the only reliable way to connect to a server. Some recent proposals circumvent this problem by camouflaging new transports so that they appear like TCP to middleboxes. We draw the key lessons from this approach and show how this could lead to a true one-size-fits-all transport: \"Polyversal TCP\".","PeriodicalId":185637,"journal":{"name":"CoNEXT Student '12","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121234056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A common way of gaining insight into system behavior is to inspect execution logs and documentation. Unfortunately, manual log inspection is difficult and documentation is often incomplete and out of sync with the implementation.\u0000 To provide developers with more insight into networked systems I am working Dynoptic, a tool that infers a concise and accurate system model, in the form of a communicating finite state machine from logs. Developers can use the inferred models to understand behavior, detect anomalies, verify known bugs, diagnose new bugs, and increase their confidence in the correctness of their implementation. Unlike most related work, Dynoptic does not require developer-written scenarios, specifications, negative execution examples, or other complex input. Dynoptic processes the logs most systems already produce and requires developers only to specify a set of regular expressions for parsing the logs.","PeriodicalId":185637,"journal":{"name":"CoNEXT Student '12","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116969437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this poster, we investigate this problems by considering the application of vehicular mobile content dissemination. By collecting and analyzing the vehicular mobility traces from about 27,000 operational taxis during one month in Beijing city, we find that the contact patterns between the RSUs and vehicles obey exponential distribu-tion.
