Flexibility and extendibility of Software Defined Networks allows development of diverse network management and flow monitoring techniques. Yet, there are inherent tradeoffs between the quality of flow monitoring and the required network resources. In particular, collecting flow statistics, at the level of specific source-destination addresses (and, moreover, specific protocols and ports), requires...
The new generation intelligent park is demanded for the flexible utilization mode of distributed renewable energy, energy storage equipment and the various characteristic load access. However, the energy router is correspondingly responsible for energy routing and dynamic control. Its uniform interface supports the plug and play of distributed power, energy storage and load of the intelligent park...
Software-defined networking (SDN) simplifies the forwarding devices by introducing a centralized controller. The controller calculates routing rules for the whole network and the forwarding devices cache the routing rules. This working process leads to the new-flow attack. When malicious packets with different headers arrive at the network, they are treated as new flows. These useless flows consume...
Software-defined networking (SDN) supports flexibly routing and switching by splitting the control plane and data plane in network devices. However, the security resource utilization now in SDN is inefficient, especially in the process of routing path construction. In this paper, we present a novel model for SDN controller to construct secure routing paths based on Network Security Virtualization...
The approach to functional verification of communication controllers based on developing layered UVM test systems is considered in this paper. Some benefits of application standalone simulation based verification are marked out. The architecture most of communication controllers could be divided into three logical layers: the transport layer, the channel layer and the physical layer. The main features...
In this paper, we propose a disaster-aware smart routing scheme for highly-available information storage systems. Our proposed scheme is based on the concept of Symbiotic Computing to recognize disaster status in Real Space, and provides appropriate routes form Digital Space dynamically. This realizes effective data transmission considering disaster situation and its time variation. We have designed...
Computer networks today typically do not provide any mechanisms to the users to learn, in a reliable manner, which paths have (and have not!) been taken by their packets. Rather, it seems inevitable that as soon as a packet leaves the network card, the user is forced to trust the network provider to forward the packets as expected or agreed upon. This can be undesirable, especially in the light of...
The controller or the “control plane” is at the heart of software defined networks (SDN). As SDN migrates to wide area networks (WAN), scalability and performance are two important factors that differentiate one controller from another, and they are critical for success of SDN for end-to-end service management. We distinguish control flows from data flows, and introduce a novel dynamic control plane...
In Software Defined Networks (SDN), intensive traffic monitoring is used to optimize the Quality-of-Service (QoS) of the network paths which are selected. Thus, we introduce the use of the Cognitive Packet Network (CPN) algorithm to SDN in order to optimize the search for new high-QoS paths. We install the CPN algorithm in the Cognitive Routing Engine (CRE), a new application software for SDN, and...
Single controller implementation of SDN has many problems related to single points of failure, computational complexity growth, reliability and scalability. To solve these problems, multi-controller implementation of Software Defined Network has been introduced. Multiple controller implementation of the SDN control plane for large networks environment solves the scalability and reliability issues...
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Architecture is relatively well defined, but the standards still need further development. Currently, working groups are developing Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) in which network monitoring is a priority, because it is the first step towards controlling a network. We present a network monitor that provides basic Quality of Service (QoS) parameters without...
Bandwidth and latency are two major factors that contribute the most to network application performance. Between each pair of switches in a network, there may be multiple paths connecting them. Each path has different properties because of multiple factors. Traditional shortest-path routing does not take this knowledge into consideration and may result in sub-optimal performance of applications and...
To tackle with problems emerging with rapid growth of information networks in scale and complexity, selforganization is one of promising design principles for future networks. Convergence of self-organizing controls, however, is pointed out to be comparatively slow in some practical applications. Therefore, it is important to reveal and enhance convergence of self-organizing controls. In controlled...
In an OpenFlow network, the controller is responsible to control and manage the whole network. Although such central control paradigm is easier to achieve efficient network resources usage, the controller becomes the bottleneck when the network size is large. In this paper, we propose using pre-provisioned paths to mitigate the burden on a controller. The basic idea is to setup some background paths...
Data availability is a major challenge faced by today's Data Centers where a large number of high performance servers are organized into racks interconnected by a switching network. Data replication is an effective approach for data protection as redundancy ensures at least one copy of data is available in the event of failures. To achieve low latency and high throughput for data replication operations,...
Modern cloud and data center platforms suffer failures and performance degradation from large traffic surges caused by both external (e.g., DDoS attacks) or internal (e.g., workload changes, operator errors, routing misconfigurations) factors. If not mitigated, traffic overload could have significant financial and availability implications for cloud providers. In this paper, we propose NetFuse, a...
Dependability is an important system attribute for microfluidic lab-on-chip devices. On-line testing offers a promising method for detecting defects, fluidic abnormalities, and bioassay malfunctions during chip operation. However, previous techniques for reading test outcomes and analyzing pulse sequences are cumbersome, sensitive to the calibration of capacitive sensors, and error-prone. We present...
A special round robin (RR) algorithm has been developed to equalize nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery packs using a new selective equalizer. This algorithm detects batteries either at a very low state of charge (SOC) or at an extremely high SOC. In this system, a set of electromechanical relays are connected in a matrix to route boost current to the weaker batteries. The relay switching is controlled...
