netFound: Principled Design for Network Foundation Models
Sylee Beltiukov, Satyandra Guthula, Haarika Manda +5
Network foundation models promise reusable representations for diverse traffic analysis tasks, but recent diagnostic works have revealed fundamental problems: models exploit datase…
Demystifying Network Foundation Models
Sylee Beltiukov, Satyandra Guthula, Wenbo Guo +2
This work presents a systematic investigation into the latent knowledge encoded within Network Foundation Models (NFMs) that focuses on hidden representations analysis rather than…
SpliDT: Partitioned Decision Trees for Scalable Stateful Inference at Line Rate
Murayyiam Parvez, Annus Zulfiqar, Roman Beltiukov +4
Machine learning (ML) is increasingly being deployed in programmable data planes (switches and SmartNICs) to enable real-time traffic analysis, security monitoring, and in-network…
The Multifractal IP Address Structure: Physical Explanation and Implications
Chris Misa, Ram Durairajan, Arpit Gupta +2
The structure of IP addresses observed in Internet traffic plays a critical role for a wide range of networking problems of current interest. For example, modern network telemetry…
