Interconnecting Eyeballs to Content: A Shapley Value Perspective on ISP Peering and Settlement | 2008-08-22 | Association for Computing Machinery |
| Internet Service Providers (ISPs) must interconnect to provide global Internet connectivity to users. The payment structure of these interconnections are often negotiated and maintained via bilateral agreements. Current differences of opinion in the appropriate revenue model in the Internet have on occasion caused ISPs to de-peer from one another, hindering network connectivity and availability. The previous work demonstrates that the Shapley value has several desirable properties, and that if applied as the revenue model, selfish ISPs would yield globally optimal routing and interconnecting decisions. This paper focuses the investigation of Shapley value in networks with two basic classes of ISP: content and eyeball. | |||

IT Analysis - Are SMBs Getting Enough? | 2008-06-16 | Quocirca |
| There is plenty of 'Hubbub' in many countries around whether customers are getting the broadband speeds advertised by their Internet Service Providers (ISPs), highlighted again most recently in the UK with a series of populist news items. A new code of conduct from the UK's telco and media regulator, Ofcom, aims to stop what many believe are an attempt by the industry to mislead customers. Now it is fair to wrap the industry's collective knuckles to stop "Up to 8MB/s" claims, when many customers are so far from the telephone exchange that the reality is the best they'll achieve is 2MB/s - far better to let the customer know what they can expect.

The Flattening Internet Topology: Natural Evolution, Unsightly Barnacles or Contrived Collapse? | 2008-05-21 | Hewlett-Packard |
| This paper collects and analyzes traceroute measurements to show that large content providers (e.g., Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!) are deploying their own wide-area networks, bringing their networks closer to users, and bypassing Tier-1 ISPs on many paths. This trend, should it continue and be adopted by more content providers, could flatten the Internet topology, and may result in numerous other consequences to users, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), content providers, and network researchers.

Uncovering Performance Differences Among Backbone ISPs With Netdiff | 2008-02-25 | Princeton University |
| This paper designs and implements Netdiff, a system that enables detailed performance comparisons among ISP networks. It helps customers and applications determine, for instance, which ISP offers the best performance for their specific workload. Netdiff is easy to deploy because it requires only a modest number of nodes and does not require active cooperation from ISPs. Realizing such a system, however, is challenging as one must aggressively reduce probing cost and ensure that the results are robust to measurement noise. The paper describes the techniques that Netdiff uses to address these challenges. Netdiff has been measuring eighteen backbone ISPs since February 2007. Its techniques allow it to capture an accurate view of an ISP's performance in terms of latency within fifteen minutes. | |||

Change Your ISP e-Mail Account Information | 2007-12-01 | Microsoft |
| When the user or their Internet Service Provider (ISP) changes the e-mail account password, e-mail address, or e-mail server address, the user must change their account information in. To help keep the system secure, one should regularly change the password. Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Passwords should be 8 or more characters in length. A pass phrase that uses 14 or more characters is better.
