iFlow: An Approach for Fast and Reliable Internet-Scale Stream Processing Utilizing Detouring and Replication

Summary: iFlow is a replication-based, internet-scale stream processor that delivers fast, reliable processing with low replication via detouring. It adaptively migrates replicas to optimize performance and availability under network variability, demonstrated on a live network-monitoring workload. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
