On the Benefits of Traffic "Reprofiling" -- The Multiple Hops Case -- Part II

This collection of recent networking and systems papers contains several items with direct security and privacy relevance. Key highlights: (1) “Slice Agent” proposes an FPGA-implemented agent in Open-RUs that identifies uplink slices and emits slice-specific eCPRI packets to enable isolation and prioritization — offering stronger slice isolation but adding a new in-band hardware/software attack surface and potential supply-chain/firmware risks. (2) Work on multi-hop split learning/inference and DNN partitioning (model splitting, placement, chaining) tightens coupling between routing and model/
