Hybrid Software-Defined Networking (HSDN) is a transitional networking form of SDN where SDN elements are partially deployed in traditional networks. Previous researches show that redirecting every flow of source-destination pair through at least one SDN switch can obtain flow manageability, e.g., access control and traffic measurement. Intuitively, the selection of SDN switch as the waypoint for...
In recent years, information-centric network (ICN) has attracted significant attention from both academia and industry. ICN is characterized by name-based routing, in-network caching and many other advanced network layer techniques. To get the benefit from these new network layer techniques, the network requires severe changes. However, considering the difficulty of deploying a new service on the...
In this paper, we study how to manage the topology reconfiguration in OSA-based datacenter networks (DCNs). Though an OSA-based DCN can change its topology to adapt to the traffic matrix and improve the network scalability, it requires too much time (10ms) to reconfigure the topology, which may not only incur a great amount of traffic loss in high throughput low latency DCNs, but also bring much performance...
We revisit the problem of identifying link metrics from end- to-end path measurements in practical IP networks where shortest path routing is the norm. Previous solutions rely on explicit routing techniques (e.g., source routing or MPLS) to construct independent measurement paths for efficient link metric identification. However, most IP networks still adopt shortest path routing paradigm, while the...
IP Fast Reroute (IP FRR) is the IETF standard for providing fast reaction to failures in IP and MPLS/LDP networks. In the past decade, several IP FRR proposals have been proposed, and among them Loop-Free Alternates (LFA) is the simplest, but it cannot achieve 100% single failure coverage. In contrast, Maximally Redundant Trees (MRT) can provide 100% single failure coverage and seems a promising scheme...
In this paper, we study the tradeoff between two important traffic engineering objectives: load balance and energy efficiency. Although traditional commonly used multi-objective optimization methods can yield a Pareto efficient solution, they need to construct an aggregate objective function (AOF) or model one of the two objectives as a constraint in the optimization problem formulation. As a result,...
Transformation of PSTN to NGN is a challenging goal for many legacy telecom operators. A smooth migration for PSTN will be an evolutionary process. It is expected that a new generation PSTN can extend the range of new services. Chunghwa Telecom is currently initiating an NGN_CN development which is part of NGN project for PSTN migration. In this paper, the key network technologies for PSTN migration...
Constrained minimum Steiner tree (CMST) problem is a key issue in multicast routing with quality of service (QoS) support. Many heuristics have been developed to solve this NP-complete problem. The bounded shortest multicast algorithm (BSMA) has been proved to be able to find solutions of very low cost with reasonable computation time. As such, it is still being widely used as a benchmark to evaluate...
LISP (Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol) is proposed to address the routing scalability problem of current Internet, and a mapping system is required to support the LISP EID-to-RLOC (Endpoint Identifier to Routing Locator) mapping services. In this paper we suggest ERMA (EID-to-RLOC Mapping Assignment) of local network could be tuned to specify the ingress points of inbound traffic, which is...
In this paper, we study green (energy efficient) optical networks with availability guarantee. After introducing a power consumption model for green optical network design, we propose a design method called Availability-Guaranteed Energy-Efficient Design (AGEED). In AGEED, we employ dedicated path protection as backup capacity in order to improve the availability. Based on iterative routing by modifying...
Intra-domain traffic engineering can significantly enhance the performance of large IP backbone networks. An important component of current methods for traffic engineering with link state routing protocols like OSPF is accurate knowledge of traffic matrix. However, the traffic matrix is unknown and varies with time. So it is important to obtain a traffic engineering method that is "robust"...
An important traffic engineering problem for OSPF networks is the determination of optimal link weights. In this paper, we assume that the traffic matrix, which specifies traffic load between every source-destination pair in the network, is unknown and varies with time, but that always lies inside an explicitly defined region. Our goal is to compute an optimal link weights that minimizes maximum link...
Topological dynamics and periodicity are two of the major differences between LEO satellite networks and terrestrial networks. In this work, we first propose MAPSS (Method to Analyze Periodicity of Satellite System) to obtain the system period of satellite networks based on spectral analysis. Then the topological dynamics of satellite networks, including the number of snapshots in one system period,...
We address the issue of traffic-oblivious routing (i.e., robust routing) in WDM networks dealing with both link and node failures under load-balancing architectures. Two distinct schemes are proposed. One is static with the goal of minimizing total network cost given a set of multiple failures. The other considers dynamic network environment (i.e., connection requests arrive one after another), and...
Wireless multimedia sensor network (WMSN) has powerful multimedia signal acquisition and processing abilities. This paper proposes a collaborative hybrid classifier learning algorithm to achieve online support vector machine (SVM) learning for robust target classification in WMSN. The proposed algorithm is carried out in a hybrid computing paradigm, which combines the advantages of progressive computing...
Valiant load-balancing [1] (VLB) has attracted considerable research interest in recent years, as it guarantees 100% throughput for any traffic matrix satisfying hose model[2] constraints without obtaining precise traffic matrix. However, when the traffic variation tends to be gentle, the measurement of traffic demands between certain node pairs becomes feasible. Then it is likely to adjust the VLB...
