A Quantitative analysis of disk drive power management in portable computers
TL;DR: A quantitative analysis of the potential costs and benefits of spinning down the disk drive as a power reduction technique finds that the optimal spindown delay time, the amount of time the disk idles before it is spun down, is 2 seconds.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Moving beyond end-to-end path information to optimize CDN performance
Rupa Krishnan,Harsha V. Madhyastha,Sridhar Srinivasan,Sushant Jain,Arvind Krishnamurthy,Thomas Anderson,Jie Gao +6 more
TL;DR: This paper analyzes latencies measured from servers in Google's content distribution network (CDN) to clients all across the Internet to study the effectiveness of latency-based server selection, and finds that redirecting every client to the server with least latency does not suffice to optimize client latencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
TCP congestion control with a misbehaving receiver
TL;DR: This paper demonstrates that there are simple attacks that allow a misbehaving receiver to drive a standard TCP sender arbitrarily fast, without losing end-to-end reliability, and shows that it is possible to modify TCP to eliminate this undesirable behavior entirely.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detour: informed Internet routing and transport
Stefan Savage,Thomas Anderson,Amit Aggarwal,David Becker,Neal Cardwell,Andy Collins,Eric Hoffman,John Snell,Amin Vahdat,Geoffrey M. Voelker,John Zahorjan +10 more
TL;DR: The inefficiencies in routing and transport protocols in the modern Internet are described and a prototype, called Detour, a virtual Internet is constructed, in which routers tunnel packets over the commodity Internet instead of using dedicated links.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Inferring link weights using end-to-end measurements
TL;DR: This work describes a novel constraint-based approach to approximate ISP link weights using only end-to-end measurements, which extends router-level ISP maps with link weights that are consistent with routing.
