We present a testbed implementation for the development, evaluation and demonstration of security orchestration in a network function virtualization environment. As a specific scenario, we demonstrate how an intelligent response to DDoS and various other kinds of targeted attacks can be formulated such that these attacks and future variations can be mitigated. We utilise machine learning to characterise...
To tackle complex and massive number of jobs sent by end users, a powerful and dedicated computational resources are required. Grid computing provides such environment in which applications may run for a quite long time. Therefore, efficient scheduling policy is indispensable. In our previous work, a mechanism named Swift Gap followed by developed completion time rule is introduced. This paper deeply...
This paper compares congestion controls of Multi-Path TCP (MPTCP) from a view point of Quality of Experience for Web services (Web-QoE) under heterogeneous environment; it assesses Web-QoE by experiments with subjects. The authors treat the four controls (LIA, OLIA, BALIA, WVEGAS) and evaluate Web-QoE by using Web usability. In addition to QoE, they also measure QoS and fairness. Their experiments...
In this paper, we evaluate QoS (Quality of Service) and QoE (Quality of Experience) characteristics of 2K and 4K video distribution using MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP). Evaluation results conclude that smaller playout buffer size contributes to QoE improvement.
Penetration of multimedia communications with mobile Wi-Fi and tethering requires wireless LANs (WLANs) to guarantee a specific bandwidth in densely deployed WLANs. IEEE802.11e (HCCA) with 802.11aa could use inefficiently radio frequency as well as fail to provide each WLAN with enough CFP period in which sending opportunity of a terminal is guaranteed. To guarantee a specific bandwidth even in densely...
Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications encapsulate significant challenges as a result of the vast number of wireless technologies deployed, nodes mobility and large applications range. One of the greatest challenges is to provide adequate QoS guarantees even in this demanding environment. State-of-the-art solutions for QoS provisioning over wireless links are based on cross-layering packet schedulers...
Distributed, networked communication systems, such as relay beamforming networks are typically designed without considering how the positions of the respective nodes might affect the quality of the communication. That is, network nodes are either assumed to be stationary in space, or, if some of them are moving while communicating, their trajectories are assumed to be independent of the respective...
Multi-tenancy in cloud-based applications helps cloud providers improve their Quality of Service (QoS) and reduce service customization and maintenance time. This result is achieved by sharing resources among many tenants, which can be in the form of applications composed of multiple web services. However, distinct tenants may impose different security requirements on their perspective of the application...
The ongoing efforts in the research, development and standardization of 5G, by both industry and academia, have resulted in the identification of enablers (Software Defined Networks, Network Function Virtualization, Distributed Mobility Management, etc.) and critical areas (Mobility management, Interference management, Joint access-backhaul mechanisms, etc.) that will help achieve the 5G objectives...
The high risk of random access collisions leads to huge challenge for the deployment massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC), which cannot be sufficiently overcome by current solutions in LTE/LTE-A networks such as the extended access barring (EAB) scheme. The recently studied approaches of grouped random access have shown a great potential in simultaneously reducing the collision rate and the...
Nowadays, web service selection has become a very challenging issue. As the number of web services is increasing drastically, different QoS parameters are added in their description in addition to their functional parameters (Inputs and outputs) to distinguish them and ease their selection. Hence, web service selection consists to find out among services having the same functionalities the optimal...
Deploying composite applications to Fog nodes in a QoS- and context-aware manner is challenging due to the heterogeneity, scale and dynamicity of Fog infrastructures.
To reduce the average file delivery time under limited backhaul bandwidth, a fractional dynamic caching scheme, that coordinates the utilization of the backhaul and the cache storage, is proposed in this paper. In our scheme, only parts of the files are pre-fetched and stored in the static storage segment of small base stations (SBSs), while the remaining parts of the files will be fetched into the...
Most of the current research work on web service selection has only considered the selection problem from the perspective of one party – service users. The selection model usually tries to find services which can optimize the user requirements. However, a service marketplace serves multiple parties, including both service users and providers. Thus, it is important to consider multiple parties when...
With an overwhelming number of web services online, recommending services for automatic mashup creation greatly facilitates the composition process of developers. Various approaches have been proposed for the task. However, these approaches concentrate on improving the recommending accuracy of an individual service, which give rise to two problems: (1) Top-ranked services may be highly redundant with...
As Internet applications have become more diverse in recent years, users having heavy demand for online video services are more willing to pay higher prices for better services than light users that mainly use e-mails and instant messages. This encourages the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to explore service differentiations so as to optimize their profits and allocation of network resources. Much...
This paper proposes an algorithm for optimal decentralized traffic engineering in communication networks. We aim at distributing the traffic among the available routes such that the network utility is maximized. In some practical applications, modeling network utility using non-concave functions is of particular interest, e.g., video streaming. Therefore, we tackle the problem of optimizing a generalized...
The objective of this paper is to propose the rule-based algorithmic approach for solving problems of faults influence on the service quality in access networks. In this paper the graph oriented model for network and communication services representation, the rule-based system and corresponding output mechanism, the algorithms for the faults impact analysis based on graph traversal schemes are proposed...
The paper proposes a method of hierarchical QoS routing based on reservation of network resources. It describes the case of organization of distributed source routing when one of the border routers consistently solves two interconnected network tasks: calculation of the required routes and determination of the allocation order of link resource to be reserved in order to meet end-to-end QoS-requirements...
