  • Challenges in Measuring the Internet for the Public Interest

    Open Accesskc claffy, David D ClarkARTICLEJournal of Information Policy2022

    The goal of this article is to offer framing for conversations about the role of measurement in informing public policy about the Internet. We review different stakeholders’ approaches to measurements and associated challenges, including the activities of U.S. government agencies. We show how taxonomies of existing harms can facilitate the search for clarity along the fraught path from identifying to measuring harms. Looking forward, we identify …

  • Trust Zones

    Open AccessDavid Clark, kc claffyARTICLEJournal of Information Policy2021

    This article describes a data-driven approach to improve the security of the Internet infrastructure. We identify the key vulnerabilities, and describe why the barriers to progress are not just technical, but embedded in a complex space of misaligned incentive, negative externalities, lack of agreement as to priority and approach, and missing leadership. We describe current trends in how applications are designed on the Internet, which leads to i…

  • Policy Challenges in Mapping Internet Interdomain Congestion

    Open Accesskc claffy, David D Clark et al.ARTICLEJournal of Information Policy2020References: 1

    Interconnection links connecting broadband access providers with their peers, transit providers and major content providers, are a potential point of discriminatory treatment and impairment of user experience. However, adequate data to shed light on this situation is lacking, and different actors can put forward opportunistic interpretations of data to support their points of view. In this article, we introduce a topology-aware model of interconn…

  • Teaching Network Security With IP Darkspace Data

    Open AccessTanja Zseby, Felix Iglesias Vazquez et al.ARTICLEIEEE Transactions on Education2016

    This paper presents a network security laboratory project for teaching network traffic anomaly detection methods to electrical engineering students. The project design follows a research-oriented teaching principle, enabling students to make their own discoveries in real network traffic, using data captured from a large IP darkspace monitor operated at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Although darkspace traffic does not include bid…

  • Adding Enhanced Services to the Internet

    Open Accesskc claffy, David D ClarkARTICLEJournal of Information Policy2016

    We revisit thirty-five years of history related to the design of Quality of Service (QoS) on the Internet, hoping to offer some clarity to current debates around service differentiation. We describe the continual failure to get QoS capabilities deployed on the public Internet, including the technical challenges of the 1980s and 1990s, the business challenges of the 1990s and 2000s, and recent regulatory challenges. In short, while the standards c…

  • Platform Models for Sustainable Internet Regulation

    Open Accesskc claffy, David D ClarkARTICLEJournal of Information Policy2014Cited by: 1

    Regulators are confronted with the fact that with the rapid pace of change and innovation on the Internet, regulatory initiatives are often rendered irrelevant almost as soon as they are proposed. How can regulators craft a durable approach that can remain relevant in this fast-changing environment? The authors propose a framework of platforms that Internet Service Providers may deploy, and discuss the regulatory implications for each type of pla…
