We prove the existence of an oblivious routing scheme that is $mathrm{poly}(log n)$-competitive in terms of $(congestion + dilation)$, thus resolving a well-known question in oblivious routing. Concretely, consider an undirected network and a set of packets each with its own source and destination. The objective is to choose a path for each packet, from its source to its destination, so as to minimize $(congestion + dilation)$, defined as follows: The dilation is the maximum path hop-length, and the congestion is the maximum number of paths that include any single edge. The routing scheme obliviously and randomly selects a path for each packet independent of (the existence of) the other packets. Despite this obliviousness, the selected paths have $(congestion + dilation)$ within a $mathrm{poly}(log n)$ factor of the best possible value. More precisely, for any integer hop-bound $h$, this oblivious routing scheme selects paths of length at most $h cdot mathrm{poly}(log n)$ and is $mathrm{poly}(log n)$-competitive in terms of $congestion$ in comparison to the best possible $congestion$ achievable via paths of length at most $h$ hops. These paths can be sampled in polynomial time. This result can be viewed as an analogue of the celebrated oblivious routing results of R{a}cke [FOCS 2002, STOC 2008], which are $O(log n)$-competitive in terms of $congestion$, but are not competitive in terms of $dilation$.
Network-wide traffic analytics are often needed for various network monitoring tasks. These measurements are often performed by collecting samples at network switches, which are then sent to the controller for aggregation. However, performing such an
Databases need to allocate and free blocks of storage on disk. Freed blocks introduce holes where no data is stored. Allocation systems attempt to reuse such deallocated regions in order to minimize the footprint on disk. If previously allocated bloc
A mesh is a graph that divides physical space into regularly-shaped regions. Meshes computations form the basis of many applications, e.g. finite-element methods, image rendering, and collision detection. In one important mesh primitive, called a mes
We present a streaming problem for which every adversarially-robust streaming algorithm must use polynomial space, while there exists a classical (oblivious) streaming algorithm that uses only polylogarithmic space. This is the first separation betwe
We prove an $Omega(d lg n/ (lglg n)^2)$ lower bound on the dynamic cell-probe complexity of statistically $mathit{oblivious}$ approximate-near-neighbor search ($mathsf{ANN}$) over the $d$-dimensional Hamming cube. For the natural setting of $d = Thet
