Crowdsourcing Service-Level Network Event Monitoring

In this paper, we argue that the network neutrality debate hinges on issues that go beyond whether a carrier is unfairly discriminating in their treatment of packets across their network. We consider four issues central to this bigger discussion…

Utility computing (UC) is concerned with the provisioning of computational resources (compute-power, storage, network bandwidth), on a per-need basis, to corporate businesses. Service-level agreements (SLAs) - contracts between a provider and a…

This paper contributes to service level management of complex Web-based e-business environments using WBEM/CIM. Such e-business environments usually consist of Web servers and Web containers to realize client access, and EJB containers or CORBA…

Event monitoring is a critical component in managing IT infrastructure and business operation. Yet, like other IT services, monitoring services face challenges and high expectations in a globally integrated IT environment. Such services offer a…

Service level agreements are at the core of the business relationship between service providers and their customers. Service level monitoring is necessary to validate and ensure that service levels are indeed adhered to. One key tool for this is…

Modern high speed local area networks offer great potential for communication intensive applications, but their performance is limited by the use of traditional communication protocols, such as TCP/IP. In most cases, these protocols require that all…

Chipsets refer to a set of specialized chips on a computer's motherboard or an expansion card 12. In this paper we present a proof of concept chipset level rootkit/network backdoor. It interacts directly with network interface card hardware based on…

Internet topology generation involves producing synthetic network topologies that imitate the characteristics of the Internet. Although the accuracy of newly developed network protocols or algorithms do not considerably depend on the underlying…

Interoperability is a collaborative and multifaceted task to overcome the problems of incompatibilities among organizations, structures, data, architecture, services, and business rules. To achieve interoperability, the aspect for interoperability…
