The Internet is free of charge by nature but since it is being adopted as infrastructure for wide communications networks it turns into a business. The pricing is a feature that was not taken into account when engineering Internet networks. This is one of the major problems that new infrastructures have to solve in order to provide Internet services and make it profitable. This paper presents t...

Access to the Internet at work allows employees to be more effective in their jobs. However, it also gives employees the opportunity to engage in non-productive behavior.

Internet security incidents have shown that while network cryptography tools like SSL are valuable to Internet service, the hard problem is to protect the server itself from attack. The host security problem is important because attackers know to attack the weakest link, which is vulnerable servers. The problem is hard because securing a server requires securing every piece of software on the s...

Internet worms, or malicious programs that spread autonomously from computer to computer, have become a problem at the forefront of computer security concerns in recent years. Several different approaches to the problem provide partial solutions, but the general problem of detecting when a worm has entered a network has not been solved. In this paper, we apply machine learning techniques to the...

When will the Internet wake up and become aware of itself? In this note the problem is approached by asking an alternative question: Can the Internet cope with stress? By extrapolating the psychological difference between coping and defense mechanisms a distributed software experiment is outlined which could reject the hypothesis that the Internet is not a

The first is to upgrade and deploy networks using IPv6; the second is to deploy networks using reusable-IPv4 addresses. As a result, the Internet is rapidly evolving into a collection of networks of heterogeneous address spaces. Such development jeopardizes t...
