Enabling Configurable, Extensible, and Modular Network Stacks
Modern networks and the applications that use them are increasingly specialized; each application increasingly uses a bespoke network stack which integrates desired protocols, services, and APIs. This thesis will describe two systems, Bertha and Congestion Control Plane (CCP), which incorporate new …

Network Simulation Cradle
This thesis proposes the use of real world network stacks instead of protocol abstractions in a network simulator, bringing the actual code used in computer systems inside the simulator and allowing for greater simulation accuracy. Specifically, a framework called the Network Simulation Cradle is …

Cognizant Networks: A Model and Framework for Session-based Communications and Adaptive Networking
… which TCP was never designed to support. Since network stacks do not provide the necessary functionality for modern applications, developers are forced to implement them over and over again --- as part of the application or supporting libraries. Consequently, application developers not only bear …

Achieving high CPU efficiency and low tail latency in datacenters
… complex, two competing goals have emerged for networks and servers in datacenters. On the one hand, applications demand low latency-on the order of microseconds-in order to respond quickly to user requests. On the other hand, datacenter operators require high CPU efficiency in order to reduce …

Design and Implementation of a Network Server in LibrettOS
Traditional network stacks in monolithic kernels have reliability and security concerns. Any fault in a network stack affects the entire system owing to lack of isolation in the monolithic kernel. Moreover, the large code size of the network stack enlarges the attack surface of the system. A …

Implementation of a Testbed with SDN-enabled Communication Networks to Experiment on Physical Function Virtualization that Disrupts Reconnaissance of Cyber-Physical Infrastructures
… and measurement data through a communication network. As an ICS scales, the geographical span of the communication network increases dramatically such that it is impossible to deploy a closed local area network (LAN) to support the communication network, and the communication network has to be …

Leveraging Next Generation Mobile Networks for Drone Telemetry and Payload Communication
… project investigates the use of mobile/cellular networks, specifically 5G (Fifth Generation) mobile networks, as a feasible option to address these limitations. Experiments will be done by creating a mobile network test-bed using open-source mobile network stacks such as OpenAirInterface and …

Advanced Network Inference Techniques Based on Network Protocol Stack Information Leaks
… explicit channels. This thesis focuses on network side channels, where information flow occurs in the TCP/IP network stack implementations of operating systems. I will describe three new types of idle scans: a SYN backlog idle scan, a RST rate-limit idle scan, and a hybrid idle scan. Idle …

Harmonizing Actuation and Data Collection in Low-power and Lossy Networks: From Standard Compliance to Rethinking the Stack
… capabilities. Low-power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) are multi-hop, typically wireless, self-organising networks aimed at interconnecting hundreds or thousands of such embedded devices. They inherit many techniques from wireless sensor networks, though going beyond their original task …

Network and storage stack specialisation for performance
… up with the increase in demand: contemporary network and storage stacks, as well as related APIs (e.g., BSD socket API) follow a `one-size-fits-all' design, heavily emphasising generality and feature richness at the cost of performance, leaving crucial hardware resources unexploited. Despite …
