Other than merely a bandwidth pipe, current and future network applications will have other requirements such as maximum end-to-end latency and the type of recovery from failure. The added complexity will require a central intelligence such as a software-defined networking (SDN) orchestrator to compute and keep track of the resources allocated to such applications. In such an SDN-orchestrated network,...
The growth of Internet traffic requires new strategies to offload congested Internet Protocol (IP) links. The introduction of sliceable optical networks resulted in appurtenance of new possibilities to manage this problem. In this paper, a dynamic sliceable optical bypassing policy is proposed to omit congested IP links in the software-defined networking (SDN) architecture. The experimental verification...
In this paper, we describe some scenarios and technologies that have been proposed to cope with the requirements of current and next generation data centre infrastructure. In particular, we discuss the extensions that have been implemented at both orchestration and control levels to efficiently manage the data centres resources. We put the focus on the integration between the Orchestrator and the...
Due to the variability of network topologies and services that can be deployed in the transport network, traffic engineering decisions within a software defined networking (SDN) controller need to be influenced by the current network topology, available resources, and end user experience. In this work a holistically approached traffic engineering quality of experience (QoE) feedback application is...
Application-centric networking is a novel approach to construct transport networks that allows application-specific requirements to be taken into account through the entire service provisioning process: the service offered to each application is differentiated at each layer of the transport network, from IP to optical. This approach replaces the grooming of traffic with different requirements into...
In this paper, we present our efforts for integrating network control and network planning, connecting the popular open-source ONOS control platform with Net2Plan, an open source network planner. The integration allows ONOS to use Net2Plan, combined with our resource allocation framework, as an on-line network optimization tool, calculating and re-routing paths as new requests arrive. It also lets...
Virtual machines (VMs) offer an economic and scalable solution to efficiently utilize the physical resources. In this paper, we investigate the optimization of VM placement in IP over WDM core networks considering a VM workload that varies with the number of users served by the VM. Our results show that the optimal VM placement in distributed clouds yields up to 23% total power saving compared to...
