Extreme outages caused by polarization mode dispersion.
We study the dependence on fiber birefringence of the bit-error rate (BER) caused by amplifier noise in a linear optical fiber telecommunication system. We show that the probability-distribution function of the BER obtained by averaging over many realizations of birefringent disorder has an extended tail that corresponds to anomalously large values of BER. We specifically discuss the dependence...
متن کاملInternet Outages, the Eyewitness Accounts: Analysis of the Outages Mailing List
Understanding network reliability and outages is critical to the “health” of the Internet infrastructure. Unfortunately, our ability to analyze Internet outages has been hampered by the lack of access to public information from key players. In this paper, we leverage a somewhat unconventional dataset to analyze Internet reliability—the outages mailing list. The mailing list is an avenue for net...
متن کاملGeographies of global Internet censorship
More than one-quarter of the planet’s population uses the Internet today, although access to it is highly uneven throughout the world. While it is widely celebrated for its emancipatory potential, many governments view the Internet with alarm and have attempted to limit access or to control its contents. This project seeks to provide a comprehensive, theoretically informed analysis of the geogr...
متن کاملDetecting Internet Outages with Precise Active Probing
Parts of the Internet are down every day, from the intentional shutdown of the Egyptian Internet in Jan. 2011 and natural disasters such as the Mar. 2011 Japanese earthquake, to the thousands of small outages caused by localized accidents, and human error, maintenance, or choices. Understanding these events requires efficient and accurate detection methods, motivating our new system to detect n...
متن کاملMonitoring Internet Censorship with UBICA
Censorship is becoming increasingly pervasive on the Internet, with the Open Net Initiative reporting nearly 50 countries practicing some form of censorship. Previous work has reported the existence of many forms of Internet censorship (e.g., DNS tampering, packet filtering, connection reset, content filtering), each of which may be composed to build a more comprehensive censorship system. Auto...
