We discussed the idea of a series of occasional contributions to CCR by members of our technical community on networking papers that they would recommend to others. Certainly, I d like to hear what my colleagues would recommend as interesting, important, or thought-provoking papers in our field! Christophe asked me to kickoff this series, and I have taken him up on his offer. I ll quickly point out that my list below is absolutely not meant to be a 10-best or 10-most-important list according to any particular metric.
