We discuss some applications of Bayesian games to interesting networking scenarios.

This thesis tackles the optimization of energy efficiency in data centers in terms of network and server utilization.

In this thesis, signal propagation variations that are experience over the frequency resources of IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are studied.

The open research and innovation laboratory 5TONIC participates in the South Summit 2016, which takes place on October 5-7, 2016, in Madrid (Spain).

Traditional network management only allows to deploy a predefined set of management policies whose parameters can be adapted to specific...

Multipath transport protocols like MPTCP transfer data across multiple routes in parallel and deliver it in order at the receiver. When the delay on one or more of the paths is variable, as is commonly the case, out of order arrivals are frequent and head of line blocking leads to high latency. This is exacerbated when packet loss, which is also common with wireless links, is tackled using ARQ.

The Internet routing ecosystem is facing substantial scalability challenges due to continuous, significant growth of the state represented in the data plane.

The rapid growth of wireless mobile devices has led to saturation and congestion of wireless channels – a well-known fact. In the recent years, this issue is further exacerbated by the ever- increasing demand for traffic intensed multimedia content applications, which include but are not limited to social media, news and video streaming applications.

While the IEEE 802.11 protocol has fostered ubiquitous connectivity for wireless users, it was not originally designed to efficiently handle voice or video traffic, which nowadays accounts for most of the Internet traffic.

Technology now offers the possibility of delivering a vast range of low-cost people-centric services to citizens. Internet of Things (IoT) supporting technologies are becoming robust, viable and cheaper.
