RouteBricks: Exploiting Parallelism to Scale Software Routers

Aikaterini Argyraki, Mihai Dobrescu

We revisit the problem of scaling software routers, motivated by recent advances in server technology that enable high-speed parallel processing---a feature router workloads appear ideally suited to exploit. We propose a software router architecture that p ...

Localizing Traffic Differentiation

Aikaterini Argyraki, Pavlos Nikolopoulos, Muhammad Abdullah, Zeinab Shmeis

Network neutrality is important for users, content providers, policymakers, and regulators interested in understanding how network providers differentiate performance. When determining whether a network differentiates against certain traffic, it is importa ...

Loss and Delay Accountability for the Internet

Aikaterini Argyraki

The Internet provides no information on the fate of transmitted packets, and end systems cannot determine who is responsible for dropping or delaying their traffic. As a result, they cannot verify that their ISPs are honoring their service level agreements ...

The Case for Performance Interfaces for Hardware Accelerators

Jiacheng Ma, George Candea, Aikaterini Argyraki, Rishabh Ramesh Iyer

While systems designers are increasingly turning to hardware accelerators for performance gains, realizing these gains is painstaking and error-prone. It can take several person-months to determine if a given accelerator is a good fit for a given piece of ...

Generating Steganographic Text with LSTMs

Martin Jaggi, Aikaterini Argyraki

Motivated by concerns for user privacy, we design a steganographic system ("stegosystem") that enables two users to exchange encrypted messages without an adversary detecting that such an exchange is taking place. We propose a new linguistic stegosystem ba ...

Joint Identity-Message Coding for Sensor Networks

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Aikaterini Argyraki, Lorenzo Keller, Mahdi Jafari Siavoshani

In a significant class of sensor-network applications, the identities of the reporting sensors constitute the bulk of the communicated data, whereas the message itself can be as small as a single bit—for instance, in many cases, sensors are used to detect ...

Can Software Routers Scale?

Aikaterini Argyraki

Software routers can lead us from a network of special-purpose hardware routers to one of general-purpose extensible infrastructure--if, that is, they can scale to high speeds. We identify the challenges in achieving this scalability and propose a solution ...

VNToR: Network Virtualization at the Top-of-Rack Switch

Aikaterini Argyraki, Edouard Bugnion, Jonas Fietz, Sam David Whitlock, Georgios Ioannidis

Cloud providers typically implement abstractions for net- work virtualization on the server, within the operating sys- tem that hosts the tenant virtual machines or containers. Despite being flexible and convenient, this approach has funda- mental problems ...

SenseCode: Network Coding for Reliable Sensor Networks

Christina Fragouli, Aikaterini Argyraki, Lorenzo Keller, Emre Atsan

Designing a communication protocol for sensor networks often involves obtaining the "right" trade-off between energy efficiency and reliability. In this paper, we show that network coding provides a means to elegantly balance these two goals. We present th ...

Creating Shared Secrets out of Thin Air

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Aikaterini Argyraki, Iris Safaka

Current security systems typically rely on the adversary's computational limitations (e.g., the fact that it cannot invert a hash function or perform large-integer factorization). Wireless networks offer the opportunity for a different, complementary kind ...

Performance Interfaces for Network Functions

George Candea, Aikaterini Argyraki, Rishabh Ramesh Iyer

Modern programmers routinely use third-party code, and infrastructure operators deploy software they did not write. This would not be possible without semantic interfaces---documentation, header files, specifications---that succinctly describe what that th ...

MorphIT: Morphing Packet Reports for Internet Transparency

Bryan Alexander Ford, Aikaterini Argyraki, Georgia Fragkouli

Can we improve Internet transparency without worsening user anonymity? For a long time, researchers have been proposing transparency systems, where traffic reports produced at strategic network points help assess network behavior and verify service-level a ...

Identity Aware Sensor Networks

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Aikaterini Argyraki, Lorenzo Keller, Mahdi Jafari Siavoshani

In a significant class of sensor-network applications, the identities of the reporting sensors constitute the bulk of the communicated data, whereas the message itself can be as small as a single bit---for instance, in many cases, sensors are used to detec ...

Verifying Software Network Functions with No Verification Expertise

George Candea, Aikaterini Argyraki, Solal Vincenzo Pirelli, Luis David Figueiredo Mascarenhas Moreira Pedrosa, Rishabh Ramesh Iyer

We present the design and implementation of Vigor, a software stack and toolchain for building and running software network middleboxes that are guaranteed to be correct, while preserving competitive performance and developer productivity. Developers write ...

Controlling Parallelism on Multi-core Software Routers

Aikaterini Argyraki, Mihai Dobrescu

Software routers promise to enable the fast deployment of new, sophisticated kinds of packet processing without the need to buy and deploy expensive new equipment. The challenge is offering such programmability while at the same time achieving a competitiv ...

Using Gaming Footage as a Source of Internet Latency Information

Aikaterini Argyraki, Catalina Paz Alvarez Inostroza

Keeping track of Internet latency is a classic measurement problem. Open measurement platforms like RIPE Atlas are a great solution, but they also face challenges: preventing network overload that may result from uncontrolled active measurements, and maint ...

Automatically Reasoning About How Systems Code Uses the CPU Cache

George Candea, Aikaterini Argyraki, Rishabh Ramesh Iyer

We present a technique, called CFAR, that developers can use to reason precisely about how their code, as well as third-party code, uses the CPU cache. Given a piece of systems code P, CFAR employs program analysis and binary instrumentation to automatical ...

Learning a QoE Metric from Social Media and Gaming Footage

Aikaterini Argyraki, Catalina Paz Alvarez Inostroza

Defining a universal metric for Quality of Experience (QoE) is notoriously hard due to the complex relationship between low-level performance metrics and user satisfaction. The most common metric, the Mean Opinion Score (MOS), has well-known biases and inc ...

Shifting Network Tomography Toward A Practical Goal

Patrick Thiran, Aikaterini Argyraki, Denisa Gabriela Ghita

Boolean Inference makes it possible to observe the congestion status of end-to-end paths and infer, from that, the congestion status of individual network links. In principle, this can be a powerful monitoring tool, in scenarios where we want to monitor a ...

Software Dataplane Verification

Aikaterini Argyraki, Mihai Dobrescu

Software dataplanes are emerging as an alternative to traditional hardware switches and routers, promising programmability and short time to market. These advantages are set against the risk of disrupting the network with bugs, unpredictable performance, o ...
