Arturo Azcorra presentará cuáles son, en su experiencia personal, las mejores prácticas para la redacción de un documento técnico. La conferencia cubrirá algunas ideas a seguir y algunos problemas a evitar al escribir un artículo.

The Internet has transformed itself into a critical global information infrastructure, and fundamentally altered the ways we access information, communicate and interact with each other, purchase goods and services, and entertain ourselves. Despite its enormous success, the Internet suffers certain well-known shortcomings, and is increasingly strained to meet the high availability, reliability, mobility, manageability and security demands of Internet applications, users, and service providers alike. Much of my research is centered on addressing the challenges posed by these new demands.

Mobile phones and tablets can be considered as the first incarnation of the post-PC era. Their explosive adoption rate has been driven by a number of factors, with the most significant influence being touch-screens, sensors, app markets, and better cellular technologies.

Economic forces behind the Internet evolution have diversified the types of ISP (Internet Service Provider) interconnections. In particular, settlement-free peering and paid peering proved themselves as effective means for reducing ISP costs. In this paper, we propose T4P (Transit for Peering), a new type of hybrid bilateral ISP relationships that continues the Internet trend towards more flexible interconnections at lower costs.

The future Internet needs to provide enough flexibility to allow the dynamic deployment of new network protocols, support heterogeneous end-systems, provide novel communication abstractions, and exhibit inherent security and manageability. In this talk, I present an overview of various technological drivers that shape current developments in network architecture research.

We study the detection of the provider-free AS set (PFS), i.e., the set of those Autonomous Systems (ASes) that reach the entire Internet without paying anyone for the traffic delivery. Using trustworthy but non-verifiable sources for sanity checks, we derive the PFS from public datasets of inter-AS economic relationships. Whereas a straightforward method for extracting the PFS performs poorly because the datasets are noisy, we develop a more sophisticated Temporal Cone (TC) algorithm that relies on topological statistics and exploits the temporal diversity of the datasets. The evaluation shows that our TC algorithm detects the PFS with a high accuracy.

It is common practice for network operators, usually for traffic engineering purposes, to propagate more specific prefixes (overlapping prefixes) along with shorter prefixes that cover them. On the other hand, it can be beneficial for some Autonomous Systems (ASes) to filter such overlapping prefixes

La importancia de las redes inalámbricas para la Futura Internet crece a un ritmo acelerado a medida que los dispositivos móviles se convierten cada vez más en su punto de acceso. No obstante, y como consecuencia de su diseño arquitectónico rígido, las redes inalámbricas actuales no son capaces de adaptarse rápidamente a contextos y necesidades de servicio evolutivos. Creemos que la capacidad de Internet para mantenerse al día con la innovación procede directamente de su dependencia de la abstracción tradicional de una Internet basada en capas.

ISPs (Internet Service Providers) typically operate as commercial ASes (Autonomous Systems) and obtain revenue by delivering IP (Internet Protocol) traffic of their customers. In particular, the provider-free ASes - which reach the entire Internet without paying anyone for the traffic delivery - sell IP transit to numerous other ASes. IP prefix deaggregation gives the deaggregator some control over Internet traffic flows but increases the memory requirements of IP routers.

Mobile app developers often include third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) in their software to externalize services and features, or monetize...
