False alarms are a major cost driver for owners of alarm systems. To remedy this problem, we develop a novel alarm verification service by leveraging the power of an alarm data warehouse. By analyzing live streams of alarms, comparing them with historic alarms and enriching them with information from open data, our ...

The Internet is full of middleboxes that change packets and flows. In fact, there is probably no IP or TCP header that is not affected by at least one middlebox. Obviously, middleboxes impede path transparency, i.e., the idea that an exchange of messages results in more or less the same packets, no matter what path ...
