ViAggre: Making Routers Last Longer! (2009)
Hitesh Ballani, Paul Francis, Tuan Cao, Jia Wang
This paper presents ViAggre (Virtual Aggregation), a “configuration-only ” approach to shrinking the routing table on routers. ViAggre applies to legacy routers and can be adopted independently...
Harnessing Tunnels For Dirty-Slate Network Solutions (2009)
The tremendous success of the Internet has been both a boon and bane for networking research. On one hand, Internet growth has led to a plethora of problems and has prompted work towards...
ABSTRACT Towards a Global IP Anycast Service (2008)
IP anycast, with its innate ability to find nearby resources in a robust and efficient fashion, has long been considered an important means of service discovery. The growth of P2P applications...

Virtual Aggregation: A Configuration-only approach to Reducing FIB Size (2008)
Francis, Paul, Ballani, Hitesh, Cao, Tuan
This report describes how an ISP can reduce its FIB size, and in so doing delay the time at which the ISP must upgrade its routers. The approach, called Virtual Aggregation (VA) works with existing...

A Measurement-based Deployment Proposal for IP Anycast ABSTRACT (2008)
Despite its growing use in critical infrastructure services, the performance of IP(v4) Anycast and its interaction with IP routing practices is not well understood. In this paper, we present the...
ABSTRACT CONMan: Taking the Complexity out of Network Management (2008)
Network management is difficult, costly, and error prone, and this is becoming more so as network complexity increases. We argue that this is an outcome of two fundamental flaws in the existing...
Abstract Towards a deployable IP Anycast service (2008)
Since it was first described in 1993, IP anycast has been a promising technology for simple, efficient, and robust service discovery, and for connectionless services. Due to scaling issues, the...

LOCK: Locating Countermeasure-Capable Prefix Hijackers (2008)
Qiu, Tongqing, Ji, Lusheng, Pei, Dan, Wang, Jia, Xu, Jun, Ballani, Hitesh
Prefix hijacking is known as one of the security threats on today’s Internet. A number of measurement based solutions have been proposed to detect prefix hijacking events. In this paper we take...
CONMan: A Step towards Network Manageability (2007)
Ballani, Hitesh, Francis, Paul
Networks are hard to manage and in spite of all the so called holistic management packages, things are getting worse. Further, there is a general lack of research on fundamentals and an increasing...

A study of prefix hijacking and interception in the internet (2007)
There have been many incidents of prefix hijacking in the Internet. The hijacking AS can blackhole the hijacked traffic. Alternatively, it can transparently intercept the hijacked traffic by...
CONMan: A Step Towards Network Manageability (2007)
Networks are hard to manage and in spite of all the so called holistic management packages, things are getting worse. We argue that the difficulty of network management can partly be attributed to a...

An Experiment in Deploying Next Generation Network Protocols (2006)
Ballani, Hitesh, Ermolinskiy, Andrey, Ratnasamy, Sylvia, Francis, Paul
This paper presents IP(dmux) - a network-layer infrastructure that serves as a general-purpose deployment vehicle for next-generation network protocols. For each new network protocol, IP(dmux)...
Understanding IP Anycast (2006)
Ballani, Hitesh, Francis, Paul
In this paper we present the first detailed analysis of IP anycast as used in the anycasting of the root-servers. The main results of our study are: The anycasting of an IP prefix does not have any...
