Phalanx: Withstanding Multimillion-Node Botnets (2009)

Colin Dixon, Thomas Anderson, Arvind Krishnamurthy

Large-scale distributed denial of service (DoS) attacks are an unfortunate everyday reality on the Internet. They are simple to execute and with the growing prevalence and size of botnets more...

Tit-for-Tat Distributed Resource Allocation (2009)

Colin Dixon, Tanya Bragin, Arvind Krishnamurthy, Tom Anderson

Distributed computing infrastructures have risen in popularity over the past decade, however resource allocation on these—largely federated—systems remains a practically unsolved problem....

Optimizing High Latency Links in the Developing World (2009)

Yaw Anokwa, Colin Dixon, Tapan Parikh

Long distance Wi-Fi links, satellite connections, and other lowbandwidth, high-latency, intermittent options are becoming the norm for providing connectivity in the developing world. For network...

Abstract iPlane: An Information Plane for Distributed Services (2008)

Harsha V. Madhyastha, Tomas Isdal, Michael Piatek, Colin Dixon, Thomas Anderson, Arvind Krishnamurthy, ...

My research interests lie in the areas of networking and systems. Specifically, I find Internet measurement and construction of distributed systems to be particularly exciting.

Abstract LiveSwarms: Adapting BitTorrent for end host multicast (2008)

Michael Piatek, Colin Dixon, Arvind Krishnamurthy, Thomas Anderson

The lack of universal multicast support in core internet routers has motivated the development of so-called end host multicast systems. These rely on participating hosts to forward data to other...
