In this work, we seek to gain an understanding of the InfiniBand network processing limitations that might exist in gathering performance metric information from InfiniBand switches using our new LDMS ibfabric sampler. The limitations studied consist of delays in gathering InfiniBand metric information from a specific switch device due to the switch's processor response delays or RDMA contention for...
A trend has emerged toward the development of critical systems hosted on the Ethernet databus. Ethernet enjoys unprecedented standardization in commercial networks, and a vast network of engineers with training and experience. It is now commonly known that implementations of deterministic Ethernet for avionics networks known as ARINC 664 part 7 exist on several commercial airframes. In other platforms,...
Medical applications, along with Information and Communication Technology (ICT), have contributed with many solutions to support the treatment of SEPSIS. However, there are few solutions for the transport of sepsis data with Quality of Service (QoS). In this paper we propose a self-manageable architecture for the provision and delivery of sepsis data using Software-Defined Networking (SDN). To evaluate...
Context-oriented computing has introduced new challenges in Quality of Service (QoS) management since the diversity of applications, forms of access and the TCP/IP architecture model make it difficult to provide services aware of Quality of Experience (QoE). In view of that, we propose an autonomous architecture of service provision and delivery that is QoE aware. The proposed components were designed...
The various flows in production datacenters usually can be classified into two types: bandwidth-hungry and delay-sensitive. To improve their performance, datacenter networks require effective load balancing and flow control protocols, respectively. However, as the two techniques are typically employed separately in current datacenters, they are unable to optimize the network in a coordinated way....
The separated control and data planes in software-defined networking (SDN) with high programmability introduce a more flexible way to manage and control network traffic. However, SDN will experience long packet delay and high packet loss rate when the communication link between two planes is jammed by SDN-aimed DoS attacks with massive table-miss packets. In this paper, we propose FloodDefender, an...
Network is critical resource for applications, but current datacenter network is shared among untrusted tenants in a best-effort manner, which cannot guarantee fairness among tenants. Fair network sharing in datacenter is a challenging problem, because the network resource is multiplexed by many virtual machines (VMs), and every VM cannot know its explicit fair bandwidth with little knowledge of network's...
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) consists of two planes: the control and the forwarding plane. The control plane is moved out of the switch and into the separate, centralized controller, and is responsible for configuring the switch and programming the paths to be used by data flows. The controller hosting the applications collects information from the OpenFlow switch using the OpenFlow protocol...
For years, Virtual Network Operators (VNOs) are a major player in the satellite communication market landscape. Typically, they repackage services leased from Satellite Network Operators (SNOs) to provide their customers with added-value end-to-end services that mostly go beyond the satellite network and cover terrestrial networks. However, the level of control and visibility that VNOs have on their...
Software defined networking (SDN) provides a centralized control framework with real-time control of network components, residential customer routers in particular, that allows automated per-user bandwidth allocation. However, employing dynamic traffic shaping for efficient bandwidth utilization among residential users is a challenging task. In this context, understanding application usage requirements...
Video content and, in particular, YouTube's content account for the largest amount of today's Internet traffic. However, little is known about the behavior of video streaming services for different kinds of network environments and under varying network conditions. Due to network operators' lack of knowledge about the transmitted content, network resources may not be optimally used in general. Thus,...
In this paper we address the problem of network contention between the migration traffic and the VM application traffic for the live migration of co-located Virtual Machines (VMs). When VMs are migrated with pre-copy, they run at the source host during the migration. Therefore the VM applications with predominantly outbound traffic contend with the outgoing migration traffic at the source host. Similarly,...
The typical Software Defined Networking (SDN) Data Center (DC) of the future will likely be comprised of a software overlay and a hardware underlay, i.e., a physical network. From an architectural perspective, there are two distinct possibilities for such DCs. The first is a loosely coupled model where the software overlay and the hardware underlay are kept independent and managed separately. In this...
This paper introduces a novel QoS architecture for process automation. The proposed architecture leverages the concept of Software Defined Network. The architecture maintains the real-time communications based on the measured propagation time. It maintains the configurations by detecting and predicting the change of propagation time in addition to queue usage. The authors utilize the OpenFlow with...
Software defined networking brings many possibilities to network security, one of the most important security challenge it can help with is the possibility to make network traffic pass through specific security devices, in other words, determine where to deploy these devices logically. However, most researches focus on high level policy and interaction framework but ignored how to translate them to...
A campus network provides a number of services to its stakeholders. Due to the complexity of having many services, it is often difficult to pinpoint an issue quickly. The currently available tools for monitoring a campus network are often designed for a specific piece of the network. On the other hand, systems administrators running a campus network with data centers and supporting a number of internal...
Video applications, which include industrial uses like machine vision, object tracking, surveillance, driving aids, etc. are becoming increasingly common. These sensors produce large amounts of data, being normally compressed at the source nodes to save network bandwidth. As a side effect, video streams exhibit a large variability in their bandwidth utilization. On the other hand, many video applications...
The main challenge in wireless networked control systems (WNCS) is the pernicious influence on control performance due to uncertainty of channel condition and limited communication bandwidth. An adaptive sampling rate scheduling method is proposed to allocate the limited network resource based on the requirement of QoP (quality of performance) and QoS (quality of service). The closed-loop system with...
In this work we present the first part of the Power Supply System for the CUORE and LUCIFER arrays of bolometric detectors. It consists of an AC/DC (0 ∶ 60 V output) commercial supply voltage followed by a system composed of DC/DC modules. Every DC/DC module (48 V input, ±15 V output) is laid-out on a 2 layers 220×236 mm2 PCB (standard Eurocard). Each module has 3 independent configurable output voltages...
Ethernet is currently being discussed within the automotive community to become a general network technology for interconnecting future distributed automotive systems. If this is the case, a complete tool chain will be necessary to support developers to implement their functions. One important component is the availability of tools to monitor, generate, manipulate, and simulate traffic in distributed...
