Orchestrating a service or resources across multiple administrative domains requires three main high level steps of operation: i) capability detection of other domains ii) placement of the service request across the domains iii) assurance that the service is functioning within the acceptable bounds of the service level agreement (SLA). This paper focuses on the assurance step; in particular, we present...
A fundamental problem to be resolved to achieve carrier grade functioning of an SDN network is the controller placement problem. The problem has been traditionally limited to optimally assigning switches to static physical controllers and placing those controllers over a network topology. However, virtualized controllers in place of physical ones could largely increase the dynamism in network control...
While bringing many advantages, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is accompanied by potential scalability issues that should be considered in the design of SDN-based networks. Specifically, SDN hardware switches based on Ternary Content-Addressable Memory (TCAM) can only store a few thousands of rules, imposing thus severe limits on the number of flows they can serve/process. Current proposals to...
For smaller scale wireless sensor networks (WSN) it has been clearly shown that a single mobile sink can be very beneficial with respect to the network lifetime. Yet, how to plan the trajectories of many mobile sinks in very large WSNs in order to simultaneously achieve lifetime and delay goals has not been treated so far. In this paper, we delve into this difficult problem and propose a heuristic...
Controlled sink mobility has been shown to be very beneficial in lifetime prolongation of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) by avoiding the typical hot-spot problem near the sink. Besides striving for elongated lifetimes, many applications of WSNs are time-sensitive, i.e., they strongly benefit from bounds on the message transfer delay. Further, large WSNs require multiple sinks in order to scale well...
The deficient energy supplies of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) drives network designers to optimize energy consumption in various ways. Not only with regard to the energy issue but also with respect to system performance, we design a local search technique for sink placement in WSNs that tries to minimize the maximum worst-case delay and extend the lifetime of a WSN, simultaneously. Since it is...
