Some Uses of Hashing in Networking Problems

Abstract
I will describe some recent work on real-world networking problems where simple randomness has proven useful. First, I describe the lossy difference aggregator, a data structure designed to measure average packet latency in the face of packet loss and restricted communication. Second, I describe Carousel, an approach for scalable logging of events for Intrusion Detection Systems and similar systems. Both solutions rely on simple hashing techniques, and the analysis of the hashing results informs the design of the solutions. Finally, as time permits, I’ll describe cuckoo hashing, and why it potentially could be a useful paradigm for networking problems in routers.
