Seawall provides new ways to share the network in datacenters. SideCar While investigating how we could get explicit feedback from the network middle to the ends for Seawall, we struck upon a way to provide programmability on a modest fraction…
Established:
Based on detailed measurements of wireless behavior in the wild, we build practical models that aid in understanding and predicting network performance. Our goal is to have a level of predictability that is similar to that in wired networks. Talks…

NetMedic helps operators perform detailed diagnosis in computer networks. It diagnoses not only generic faults (e.g., performance-related) but also application specfic faults (e.g., error codes). It identifies culprits at a fine granularity such as a process or firewall configuration. Our…

BlueMonarch is a system for evaluating Bluetooth applications in the wild. BlueMonarch emulates a Bluetooth transfer to any device responding to Bluetooth Service Discovery requests; because many cell-phones, laptops, and PDAs in the wild respond to such probes, BlueMonarch enables…
