abstract={The recent introduction of full-mesh virtual private network ({VPN}) solutions which offer near native performance, coupled with modern encryption algorithms and easy scalability as a result of a central control plane have a strong potential to enable the implementation of a seamless edge-cloud continuum. To test the performance of existing solutions in this domain, we present a framework consisted of both essential and optional features that full-mesh {VPN} solutions need to support before they can be used for interconnecting geographically dispersed compute nodes. We then apply this framework on existing offerings and select three {VPN} solutions for further tests: Headscale, Netbird, and {ZeroTier}. We evaluate their features in the context of establishing an underlay network on top of which a Kubernetes overlay network can be created. We test pod-to-pod {TCP} and {UDP} throughput as well as Kubernetes application programming interface ({API}) response times, in multiple scenarios, accounting for adverse network conditions such as packet loss or packet delay. Based on the obtained measurement results and through analysis of the underlying strengths and weaknesses of the individual implementations, we draw conclusions on the preferred {VPN} solution depending on the use-case at hand, striking a balance between usability and performance.},

abstract={Existing package and system configuration management tools suffer from an imperative model, where system administration actions such as upgrading packages or changes to system configuration files are stateful: they destructively update the state of the system. This leads to many problems, such as the inability to roll back changes easily, to run multiple versions of a package side-by-side, to reproduce a configuration deterministically on another machine, or to reliably upgrade a system. In this paper we show that we can overcome these problems by moving to a purely functional system configuration model. This means that all static parts of a system (such as software packages, configuration files and system startup scripts) are built by pure functions and are immutable, stored in a way analogously to a heap in a purely function language. We have implemented this model in {NixOS}, a non-trivial Linux distribution that uses the Nix package manager to build the entire system configuration from a purely functional specification.},

Due to various reasons, such as multipath routing, route fluttering, and retransmissions, packets belonging to the same flow may arrive out of order at a destination. Such packet reordering violates the design principles of some traffic control mechanisms in {TCP} and, thus, poses performance problems. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive and in-depth survey on recent research on packet reordering in {TCP}. The causes and problems for packet reordering are discussed. Various representative algorithms are examined and compared by computer simulations. The ported program codes and simulation scripts are available for download.

thus, poses performance problems. In this paper, we provide a
comprehensive and in-depth survey on recent research on packet
reordering in {TCP}. The causes and problems for packet reordering
are discussed. Various representative algorithms are examined and
compared by computer simulations. The ported program codes and
simulation scripts are available for download. Some open questions
are discussed to stimulate further research in this area},

abstract={{QUIC}, a {UDP}-based transport protocol, addresses several limitations of {TCP} by offering built-in encryption, stream multiplexing, and improved loss recovery. To extend these benefits to legacy {TCP}-based applications, this paper explores the implementation and evaluation of a {TCP} over {QUIC} tunneling approach. A lightweight, stream-based tunnel is constructed using the Rust-based Quinn library, enabling {TCP} traffic to traverse {QUIC} connections transparently. Performance is evaluated under varying network conditions, including packet loss, high latency, and out-of-order delivery. Results indicate that {TCP} over {QUIC} maintains significantly higher throughput than native {TCP} in lossy or unstable environments, with up to a high improvement under 20{\textbackslash}\% packet loss. However, under ideal network conditions, tunneling introduces modest overhead due to encryption and user-space processing. These findings provide insights into the trade-offs of {TCP} over {QUIC} tunneling and its suitability for deployment in dynamic or impaired networks.},

abstract={This document presents two improved metrics for packet reordering, namely, Reorder Density ({RD}) and Reorder Buffer-occupancy Density ({RBD}). A threshold is used to clearly define when a packet is considered lost, to bound computational complexity at O(N), and to keep the memory requirement for evaluation independent of N, where N is the length of the packet sequence. {RD} is a comprehensive metric that captures the characteristics of reordering, while {RBD} evaluates the sequences from the point of view of recovery from reordering. These metrics are simple to compute yet comprehensive in their characterization of packet reordering. The measures are robust and orthogonal to packet loss and duplication. This memo provides information for the Internet community.},
