"Dude, where's my Peer?"

چکیده
Peer to Peer (P2P) flows constitute a large portion of Internet traffic meandering through different ISP domains. Hence, it is of prime concern for ISPs to try and gauge the number of active P2P users and where they are located, both inside and outside their respective domains. An analysis of where P2P users are located in the Internet provides an insight into understanding which ISPs harbor a majority of P2P peers, which ones afford most transit to P2P flows, and possibly which ISPs should focus on anti-P2P policies the most. We observe an extremely skewed distribution, approximately 92 to 98% of P2P flows ending in tier 1 and tier 4 ISPs, and just 2 to 8% ending in tier 2 and 3 ISPs. We quantify the role of ISPs in allowing P2P flows to traverse through their domains and observe a similar skewed distribution wherein tier 1 and tier 4 ISPs contribute 92 to 95% of all hops on most P2P flows. Moreover, we compare P2P traffic with http and Internet radio traces to uncover potential parameters to differentiate between these types of flows. We present detailed results based on active measurements taken over a 30 day period, spanning over half a million P2P flows, collected from measurements employing a number of popular P2P clients hosted inside two popular ISPs.

Dude, Where's That IP? Circumventing Measurement-based IP Geolocation
Many applications of IP geolocation can benefit from geolocation that is robust to adversarial clients. These include applications that limit access to online content to a specific geographic region and cloud computing, where some organizations must ensure their virtual machines stay in an appropriate geographic region. This paper studies the applicability of current IP geolocation techniques a...
متن کاملDUDE for Natural Images via Sparse Representation
Discrete Universal Denoiser, or DUDE, is a method of removing noise from an arbitrary source sequence that has been corrupted by a known memoryless channel, without consideration of the source distribution. The canonical formulation of DUDE assumes a small discrete alphabet, from which source symbols are chosen. Extension of DUDE into a large-alphabet domain, or the continuous domain, has been ...

We introduce S-DUDE, a new algorithm for denoising DMC-corrupted data. The algorithm, which generalizes the recently introduced DUDE (Discrete Universal DEnoiser) of Weissman et al., aims to compete with a genie that has access, in addition to the noisy data, also to the underlying clean data, and can choose to switch, up to m times, between sliding window denoisers in a way that minimizes the ...
متن کاملDUDE-Seq: Fast, flexible, and robust denoising for targeted amplicon sequencing
We consider the correction of errors from nucleotide sequences produced by next-generation targeted amplicon sequencing. The next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms can provide a great deal of sequencing data thanks to their high throughput, but the associated error rates often tend to be high. Denoising in high-throughput sequencing has thus become a crucial process for boosting the reliabi...
