DESCRIPTION:    The Internet is a diverse ecosystem where a multitude of n
 etworks interconnect to provide end users with a global reach. Interconnec
 tion agreements supply economic incentives for networks to deliver traffic
  along end-to-end paths. Driven by the rapid Internet adoption\, unrelenti
 ng traffic growth\, and increasing demands for performance and quality\, I
 nternet interconnections evolve and affect traffic routing.\n\n    In this
  seminar\, we first explore an emerging phenomenon of remote peering\, an 
 interconnection where remote networks peer via a layer-2 provider. While o
 ur measurements reveal significant presence of remote peering at IXPs (Int
 ernet eXchange Points) worldwide and a substantial potential to offload tr
 ansit traffic\, we also discuss implications of remote peering for Interne
 t topology modeling. Then\, we propose Route Bazaar\, a new architecture f
 or flexible Internet connectivity. Inspired by cryptocurrencies\, the use 
 of a block chain in Route Bazaar enables multilateral contracts for end-to
 -end routing with QoS (Quality of Service)\, rich private policies\, and p
 ublic accountability.\n    \n    The seminar is based on joint work with m
 y student Ignacio Castro and our collaborators Camilo Cardona\, Pierre Fra
 ncois\, Aurojit Panda\, Barath Raghavan\, and Scott Shenker.\n\nBio: Serge
 y Gorinsky received an Engineer degree from Moscow Institute of Electronic
  Technology\, Zelenograd\, Russia in 1994 and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from 
 the University of Texas at Austin\, USA in 1999 and 2003 respectively. Fro
 m 2003 to 2009\, he served on the tenure-track faculty at Washington Unive
 rsity in St. Louis\, USA. Dr. Gorinsky currently works as a tenured Resear
 ch Associate Professor at IMDEA Networks Institute\, Madrid\, Spain. The a
 reas of his primary research interests are computer networking\, distribut
 ed systems\, and network economics. His research contributions include mul
 ticast congestion control resilient to receiver misbehavior\, analysis of 
 binary adjustment algorithms\, efficient fair transfer of bulk data\, netw
 ork service differentiation based on performance incentives\, and economic
  perspectives on Internet interconnections and routing. His work appeared 
 at top conferences and journals such as ACM SIGCOMM\, ACM CoNEXT\, IEEE IN
 FOCOM\, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking\, and IEEE Journal on Selected
  Areas in Communications. Sergey Gorinsky delivered keynote addresses at N
 PSec 2013 and RAIT 2012. He has served on the TPCs (technical program comm
 ittees) of SIGCOMM (2012)\, CoNEXT (2015)\, INFOCOM (2006-2016)\, ICNP (20
 08\, 2010-2015)\, and other networking conferences. Prof. Gorinsky co-chai
 red the TPCs of COMSNETS 2013\, NetSciCom 2014\, E6 2012\, HSN 2008\, FIAP
  2008\, served as a TPC vice-chair for ICCCN 2009 and TPC area chair for I
 CNP 2013. He is a member of the COMSNETS Association\, a steering committe
 e for COMSNETS conferences. \n
