As ISPs begin to cooperate to expose their network locality information as services, e.g., P4P, solutions based on locality information provision for P2P traffic localization will soon approach their capability limits. A natural question is: can we do any better provided that no further locality information improvement can be made? This paper shows how the utility of locality information could be limited by conventional P2P data scheduling algorithms, even as sophisticated as the local rarest first policy. Network codings simplified data scheduling makes it competent for improving P2P applications throughput. Instead of only using locality information in the topology construction, this paper proposes the locality-aware network coding (LANC) that uses locality information in both the topology construction and downloading decision, and demonstrates its exceptional ability for P2P traffic localization. The randomization introduced by network coding enhances the chance for a peer to find innovative blocks in its neighborhood. Aided by proper locality-awareness, the probability for a peer to get innovative blocks from its proximity will increase as well, resulting in more efficient use of network resources. Extensive simulation results show that LANC can significantly reduce P2P traffic redundancy without sacrificing application-level performance. Aided by the same locality knowledge, the traffic redundancies of LANC in most cases are less than 50% of the current best approach that does not use network coding.

Given a large number of online services on the Internet, from time to time, people are still struggling to find out the services that they need. On the other hand, when there are considerable research and development on service discovery and service recommendation, most of the related work are centralized and thus suffers inherent shortages of the centralized systems, e.g., adv-driven, lack at trust, transparence and fairness. In this paper, we propose a ServiceNet - a peer-to-peer (P2P) service network for service discovery and service recommendation. ServiceNet is inspired by blockchain technology and aims at providing an open, transparent and self-growth, and self-management service ecosystem. The paper will present the basic idea, an architecture design of the prototype, and an initial implementation and performance evaluation the prototype design.
State-of-the-art distributed in-memory datastores (FaRM, FaSST, DrTM) provide strongly-consistent distributed transactions with high performance and availability. Transactions in those systems are fully general; they can atomically manipulate any set of objects in the store, regardless of their location. To achieve this, these systems use complex distributed transactional protocols. Meanwhile, many workloads have a high degree of locality. For such workloads, distributed transactions are an overkill as most operations only access objects located on the same server -- if sharded appropriately. In this paper, we show that for these workloads, a single-node transactional protocol combined with dynamic object re-sharding and asynchronously pipelined replication can provide the same level of generality with better performance, simpler protocols, and lower developer effort. We present Zeus, an in-memory distributed datastore that provides general transactions by acquiring all objects involved in the transaction to the same server and executing a single-node transaction on them. Zeus is fault-tolerant and strongly-consistent. At the heart of Zeus is a reliable dynamic object sharding protocol that can move 250K objects per second per server, allowing Zeus to process millions of transactions per second and outperform more traditional distributed transactions on a wide range of workloads that exhibit locality.
Classical erasure codes, e.g. Reed-Solomon codes, have been acknowledged as an efficient alternative to plain replication to reduce the storage overhead in reliable distributed storage systems. Yet, such codes experience high overhead during the maintenance process. In this paper we propose a novel erasure-coded framework especially tailored for networked storage systems. Our approach relies on the use of random codes coupled with a clustered placement strategy, enabling the maintenance of a failed machine at the granularity of multiple files. Our repair protocol leverages network coding techniques to reduce by half the amount of data transferred during maintenance, as several files can be repaired simultaneously. This approach, as formally proven and demonstrated by our evaluation on a public experimental testbed, enables to dramatically decrease the bandwidth overhead during the maintenance process, as well as the time to repair a failure. In addition, the implementation is made as simple as possible, aiming at a deployment into practical systems.
Network management often relies on machine learning to make predictions about performance and security from network traffic. Often, the representation of the traffic is as important as the choice of the model. The features that the model relies on, and the representation of those features, ultimately determine model accuracy, as well as where and whether the model can be deployed in practice. Thus, the design and evaluation of these models ultimately requires understanding not only model accuracy but also the systems costs associated with deploying the model in an operational network. Towards this goal, this paper develops a new framework and system that enables a joint evaluation of both the conventional notions of machine learning performance (e.g., model accuracy) and the systems-level costs of different representations of network traffic. We highlight these two dimensions for two practical network management tasks, video streaming quality inference and malware detection, to demonstrate the importance of exploring different representations to find the appropriate operating point. We demonstrate the benefit of exploring a range of representations of network traffic and present Traffic Refinery, a proof-of-concept implementation that both monitors network traffic at 10 Gbps and transforms traffic in real time to produce a variety of feature representations for machine learning. Traffic Refinery both highlights this design space and makes it possible to explore different representations for learning, balancing systems costs related to feature extraction and model training against model accuracy.
In this paper, we propose a hierarchical semantic overlay network for searching heterogeneous data over wide-area networks. In this system, data are represented as RDF triples based on ontologies. Peers that have the same semantics are organized into a semantic cluster, and the semantic clusters are self-organized into a one-dimensional ring space to form the toplevel semantic overlay network. Each semantic cluster has its low-level overlay network which can be built using an unstructured overlay or a DHT-based overlay. A search is first forwarded to the appropriate semantic cluster, and then routed to the specific peers that hold the relevant data using a parallel flooding algorithm or a DHT-based routing algorithm. By combining the advantages of both unstructured and structured overlay networks, we are able to achieve a better tradeoff in terms of search efficiency, search cost and overlay maintenance cost.
