In comparison to Random Overlay Networks, Semantic Overlay Networks are very efficient for category based content searches. However, problem arises when geographical locality is of interest in search ranking. We propose suitable measures to adapt SONs for spatial locality ranking of a search. We evolve GeoSONs that exploit the SON hierarchy in the search domain and are capable of different types of...
In this paper, we consider migration of virtual machines in a data center to minimize network power consumption. Network power is consumed when switches are turned on, and conserved when they are turned off; the optimization problem then is to site virtual machines within the data center to achieve connectivity and desired bandwidth while turning on as few switches as possible. Depending upon specifics...
Recently, there has been a tremendous growth in the number of installed distributed computing platforms such as those for content distribution networks, cloud computing infrastructures, and distributed data centers. Such distributed platforms need a scalable end-to-end (e2e) network monitoring component to provide Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees to the services and improve the overall performance...
The optical reach (the distance an optical signal can travel before the signal quality degrades to a level that necessitates regeneration) ranges from 500 to 2000 miles. To establish a lightpath of length greater than the optical reach, it is necessary to regenerate optical signals. In a translucent optical network, there are regeneration points, where the signal undergoes Optical-Electronic-Optical...
Knowledge of the network path properties such as latency, hop count, loss and bandwidth is key to the performance of overlay networks, grids and P2P applications. Network operators also use these metrics for managing and diagnosing problems in their networks. However, the size of the Internet makes the task of measuring these metrics immensely difficult. A more scalable approach of inference and estimation...
In the absence of end-to-end quality of service (QoS), overlay routing has been used as an alternative to the default best effort Internet routing. Using end-to-end network measurement, the problematic parts of the path can be bypassed, resulting in improving the resiliency and robustness to failures. Studies have shown that overlay paths can give better latency, loss rate, and TCP throughput. Overlay...
