Network neutrality (NN) is a principle of equal treatment of data in network infrastructures with fairness and universality being the primary outcomes of the NN management practice. For networks, the accomplishment of NN management practice is essential to deal with heterogeneous user requirements and the ever-increasing data traffic. Current tools and methods address the NN problem by detecting network neutrality violations and detecting traffic differentiation. This paper proposes the NN-PCM (Network Neutrality Policy Conformance Module) that deploys the BEREC network neutrality policy using a bandwidth allocation model (BAM). The NN-PCM new approach allocates bandwidth to network users and accomplishes the BEREC NN policy concomitantly. Network neutrality is achieved by grouping users with similar traffic requirements in classes and leveraging the bandwidth allocation models characteristics. The conceptual analysis and simulation results indicate that NN-PCM allocates bandwidth to users and accomplishes BEREC network neutrality conformance by design with transparent, non-discriminatory, exceptional, and proportional management practices.

Operational networks are increasingly using machine learning models for a variety of tasks, including detecting anomalies, inferring application performance, and forecasting demand. Accurate models are important, yet accuracy can degrade over time du
e to concept drift, whereby either the characteristics of the data change over time (data drift) or the relationship between the features and the target predictor change over time (model drift). Drift is important to detect because changes in properties of the underlying data or relationships to the target prediction can require model retraining, which can be time-consuming and expensive. Concept drift occurs in operational networks for a variety of reasons, ranging from software upgrades to seasonality to changes in user behavior. Yet, despite the prevalence of drift in networks, its extent and effects on prediction accuracy have not been extensively studied. This paper presents an initial exploration into concept drift in a large cellular network in the United States for a major metropolitan area in the context of demand forecasting. We find that concept drift arises largely due to data drift, and it appears across different key performance indicators (KPIs), models, training set sizes, and time intervals. We identify the sources of concept drift for the particular problem of forecasting downlink volume. Weekly and seasonal patterns introduce both high and low-frequency model drift, while disasters and upgrades result in sudden drift due to exogenous shocks. Regions with high population density, lower traffic volumes, and higher speeds also tend to correlate with more concept drift. The features that contribute most significantly to concept drift are User Equipment (UE) downlink packets, UE uplink packets, and Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) total received packets.
The growing size of data center and HPC networks pose unprecedented requirements on the scalability of simulation infrastructure. The ability to simulate such large-scale interconnects on a simple PC would facilitate research efforts. Unfortunately,
as we first show in this work, existing shared-memory packet-level simulators do not scale to the sizes of the largest networks considered today. We then illustrate a feasibility analysis and a set of enhancements that enable a simple packet-level htsim simulator to scale to the unprecedented simulation sizes on a single PC. Our code is available online and can be used to design novel schemes in the coming era of omnipresent data centers and HPC clusters.
We develop a probabilistic framework for global modeling of the traffic over a computer network. This model integrates existing single-link (-flow) traffic models with the routing over the network to capture the global traffic behavior. It arises fro
m a limit approximation of the traffic fluctuations as the time--scale and the number of users sharing the network grow. The resulting probability model is comprised of a Gaussian and/or a stable, infinite variance components. They can be succinctly described and handled by certain space-time random fields. The model is validated against simulated and real data. It is then applied to predict traffic fluctuations over unobserved links from a limited set of observed links. Further, applications to anomaly detection and network management are briefly discussed.
Modeling human mobility has a wide range of applications from urban planning to simulations of disease spread. It is well known that humans spend 80% of their time indoors but modeling indoor human mobility is challenging due to three main reasons: (
i) the absence of easily acquirable, reliable, low-cost indoor mobility datasets, (ii) high prediction space in modeling the frequent indoor mobility, and (iii) multi-scalar periodicity and correlations in mobility. To deal with all these challenges, we propose WiFiMod, a Transformer-based, data-driven approach that models indoor human mobility at multiple spatial scales using WiFi system logs. WiFiMod takes as input enterprise WiFi system logs to extract human mobility trajectories from smartphone digital traces. Next, for each extracted trajectory, we identify the mobility features at multiple spatial scales, macro, and micro, to design a multi-modal embedding Transformer that predicts user mobility for several hours to an entire day across multiple spatial granularities. Multi-modal embedding captures the mobility periodicity and correlations across various scales while Transformers capture long-term mobility dependencies boosting model prediction performance. This approach significantly reduces the prediction space by first predicting macro mobility, then modeling indoor scale mobility, micro-mobility, conditioned on the estimated macro mobility distribution, thereby using the topological constraint of the macro-scale. Experimental results show that WiFiMod achieves a prediction accuracy of at least 10% points higher than the current state-of-art models. Additionally, we present 3 real-world applications of WiFiMod - (i) predict high-density hot pockets for policy-making decisions for COVID19 or ILI, (ii) generate a realistic simulation of indoor mobility, (iii) design personal assistants.
To understand the factors that encourage the deployment of a new networking technology, we must be able to model how such technology gets deployed. We investigate how network structure influences deployment with a simple deployment model and differen
t network models through computer simulations. The results indicate that a realistic model of networking technology deployment should take network structure into account.
