Abstract. This paper presents an implementation of packet header anonymization unit in FPGA. Packet header anonymization is very important for passive network monitoring, which captures real user traffic and for sharing captured tracefiles, which are valuable resource for networking research

In high speed networks, packet processing is relatively expensive while bandwidth is cheap. Thus it pays to add information to packet headers to make packet processing easier. While this is an old idea, we describe several specific new mechanisms based on this principle. We describe a new technique

A lossless compression method for Internet packet headers

Abstract—Full packet headers consume valuable bitrate, which is especially costly in satellite links and some terrestrial wireless links. This has motivated the compression of packet headers by exploiting their correlation via using finite-state machines. The drawback is that compression

of new standards for the Data Link, Network, and Transport layers, we believe there is an opportunity to apply these techniques to improve the performance of real protocols. First, we suggest adding a data manipulation header to an easily accessible portion of each packet. This header contains pointers

Consider the problem of sending a single message from a sender to a receiver through an m n mesh with asynchronous links that may stop working, and memoryless intermediate nodes. We prove that for m 2 O(1), it is necessary and sucient to use packet headers that are (log log n) bits long.

This paper proposes a system using convolutional codes to mitigate error propagation in packet header compression. Convolutional codes are a class of Forward Error Correction (FEC) codes, and their use is motivated because on unidirectional links loss of even one packet can render subsequent

a novel packet header compression, focused not on the problem of reducing transmission bandwidth or latency, but on the problem of saving storage space. As far as we know, ours is the first method specifically oriented to this goal. With our proposed method, storage size requirements for .tsh packet
