Table of Contents

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the UCLA Campus for SIGCOMM 2017, the flagship conference of the ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communications! This is the 50th Anniversary of ACM SIGCOMM and we are proud to organize this important edition of the conference in California. We have put together an inspiring technical program including 36 fulllength papers, including 3 from the Experience Track; a keynote talk by the SIGCOMM Award winner, Raj Jain; the announcement of the SIGCOMM TestofTime Awards; 9 workshops; 8 tutorials; and 32 posters, 20 demos and 5 industrial demos. We continue the recent tradition of having “topic preview sessions” and “mentoring moments” as part of the SIGCOMM conference. Topic previews give an introductory view about the topics to be addressed in depth during technical sessions. Mentoring gives graduate students an opportunity to meet with wellknown researchers and receive feedback on their research ideas. The conference venue is located at the UCLA campus, in the brand new UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Conference Center. The social program includes a welcome reception at the conference venue, a banquet to taste an eclectic mix of cuisines held at the Dickson Plaza on campus, and a student dinner that gives a chance for student participants to interact with industry representatives, members of the ACM SIGCOMM Executive Committee, the Program Committee, the Organizing Committee and other invitees from the community. We have made arrangements to allow members of the community unable to physically attend the SIGCOMM conference to participate remotely, by live streaming the talks from the main conference as well as all the workshops. We hope this added effort in allowing SIGCOMM to be more inclusive will widen interest in the technical area that is already a significant part of the fabric of our current connected society, and will enable us to cross boundaries and continue to communicate and interact socially. It is a challenge to organize a large and increasingly complex event like SIGCOMM. A successful SIGCOMM conference is only made possible by voluntary contributions of many people. We thank Alex Snoeren and Walter Willinger for leading a dedicated program committee; Peter Reiher for local arrangements; Bruce Maggs and David Oran for organizing workshops; Bharathan Balaji for managing the video recording and streaming arrangements; Giovanni Pau for managing corporate support and fundraising; Matthias Wahlisch, Jeff Burke, Nicholas Zhang, David Meyer and Puneet Sharma for jointly organizing posters and demonstrations (both from the research community and industry); Sergey Gorinsky for singlehandedly managing all publication matters; Jiasi Chen for handling registrations; Hamed Haddadi and Lan Wang for attracting and dealing with a record number of travel grant requests; Alex Afanasyev, Mayutan Arumaithurai, and Dan Li for publicity of the various events; Lars Eggert and Lili Qiu for organizing tutorials; Fahad Dogar for organizing mentoring sessions; Minlan Yu for her role as treasurer; Vishal Misra and Vyas Sekar for the student research competition; Ethan KatzBassek and Justine Sherry for taking care of Topic Preview sessions; Radhika Niranjan Mysore for organizing the N2Women workshop. Special thanks to Alex Afanasyev and Vahab Pournaghshband for managing the website so well, and being so responsive. We also appreciate the help of Srinivasan Keshav and Yashar Ganjali, for helping with ACM matters; and the ACM HQ staff (Abigail Sumandal) and Meetgreen (Shereen Vesalpour), with whom working has been a pleasure. Last but not least, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to the SIGCOMM 2017 supporters. Cisco Systems, Facebook, Ericsson, Huawei, Google, Intel, Alibaba Group, ThousandEyes, Barefoot Networks, Verizon Digital Media Services, Microsoft, Amazon, Akamai, Telefonica, NetApp, VMWare, Comcast, BigDAMA and NSF all generously contributed to SIGCOMM 2017. Their support enabled us to provide a large travel program to help a large number of attendees (especially students) who would otherwise find it difficult to attend. We also sincerely thank the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science for hosting SIGCOMM 2017 and being generous in allowing the use of their excellent facilities. We hope you enjoy SIGCOMM 2017! K. K. Ramakrishnan and Lixia Zhang SIGCOMM 2017 General CoChairs
