Threats to the security and availability of the network have contributed to the use of Real-time Blackhole Lists (RBLs) as an attractive method for implementing dynamic filtering and blocking. While RBLs have received considerable study, little is known about the impact of these lists in practice. In this paper, we use nine different RBLs from three different categories to perform the evaluatio...

Problem of traffic jams is common in large cities. Urban traffic control systems aim to solve this problem. The major difficulty in urban traffic is large number of variables for representing the state of traffc, such as traffic flow,speed, and density. Lack of precise relations between these variables is another problem. In this paper, we present a new model for traffic flow and introduce a tr...

This paper presents an attack that circumvents anonymization of IP addresses in IP network traffic data in O(n) time, or O(n) time under certain circumstances. The attack is based on packet injection, and circumvents all anonymization techniques that assign a static and unique pseudonym to an IP address. It turns out that the packet injection itself, as well as the extraction of the correspondi...

Associate to each sequence A of integers (intending to represent packet IDs) a sequence of positive integers of the same length M(A). The i’th entry of M(A) is the size (at time i) of the smallest buffer needed to hold out-of-order packets, where space is accounted for unreceived packets as well. Call two sequences A, B equivalent (written A ≡FB B) if M(A) = M(B). We prove the following result:...

Experiments involving evaluation of new network technologies require realistic network environments. Network traffic is one of the important elements in these environments and many products and approaches are available to generate realistic traffic. However, for efficient evaluation, users should be able to configure their traffic to possess the requisite userdefined characteristics. The existi...

Dense human flow has been a concern for the safety of public events for a long time. Macroscopic pedestrian models, which are mainly based on fluid dynamics, are often used to simulate huge crowds due to their low computational costs (COLOMBO and ROSINI, 2005). Similar approaches are used in the field of traffic simulations (LIGHTHILL and WHITHAM, 1955). A combined macroscopic simulation of veh...

Proteins of the p120 family have been implicated in the regulation of cadherin-based cell adhesion, but their relative importance in this process and their mechanism of action have remained less clear. Three papers in this issue suggest that p120 plays a key role in maintaining normal levels of cadherin in mammalian cells, and that it may do so by regulating cadherin trafficking (Chen et al., 2...

Traffic congestion in road networks is one of the main issues to be addressed, also vehicle traffic congestion and monitoring has become one of the critical issues in road transport. With the help of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), current information of traffic can be used by control room to improve the traffic efficiency. The suggested system utilize technologies for real-time collect...
