This paper proposes a new algorithm called Path Associativity Centralized Explicit Congestion Control (PACEC). PACEC works on a Software Defined Networking (SDN) framework. In PACEC, a congestion control decision is based on global information network conditions. PACEC uses global information network to identify network resources along the path from the source to the destination and provides this...
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...
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 use of Software Defined Network (SDN) in recently networking architecture has brought tremendous advantage in computer networking technology. Administrative issues such as routing, security and load balancing can be centralized and automated in SDN controllers. Controllers have been an integral part of the SDN architecture enabling intelligent networking. However, because all the packets are transmitted...
The task to switch on 100 lights together seems rather easy, but it gets rather difficult when using established TCP/IP transport through bandwidth-restricted controls-RF connections: A convenient “time-to-light” after pushing a button should stay below 0.2 seconds. Without any optimization, the control may easily take more than 10 seconds before the action is completed. This paper addresses the timing...
Multipath TCP(MPTCP) is an experimental protocol under standardization in the IETF. It enables hosts to send data over several interfaces or paths and has use cases on smartphones, datacenters or dual-stack hosts. It has proven to increase bandwidth in these cases while remaining compatible with the existing network infrastructure and applications. However, with the popularity of Online Data-Intensive...
Software Defined Network (SDN) is an emerging networking paradigm which separates the control plane from the data forwarding plane. The centralized controller provides the global view of the distributed network states for user applications. However, the scalability of SDN is subject to the delay, the capacity of the controller, the bandwidth of the control channel, and other issues. To solve this...
In mixed-critical networks is very important to provide appropriate mechanisms which prevent lost of data during communication, especially if that are high-priority frames. As a basis for analysis, in this paper we observed principles of multy-priority based traffic integration in TTEthernet networks that can be configured as strictly deterministic, or mixed-critical. It is analyzed influence of the...
Quality of Service (QoS) control is an important concept in computer networking, as it is related to end-user experience. While providing QoS guarantees over the Internet has long been deemed too complicated, the emergence of Software Defined Networking (SDN), and OpenFlow as its most popular standard, may facilitate QoS control. In this paper, we consider how to enable bandwidth guarantees with OpenFlow...
The paper describes a management model where a service provider (SP) maintains multiple protocol modules to exercise the infrastructure resources (e.g., bandwidth, storage, servers) under various environment conditions. Each protocol depicts a distinctive work-flow among the networked entities (i.e., message exchanges and task coordination), incurring a certain amount of resource use. Different levels...
Data Center is now becoming an important facility for many applications (e.g, web search and retail). As TCP can't meet applications' demands for latency and throughput, many tcp-based protocols (e.g, DCTCP, D2TCP, L2DCT) have been proposed. Among them, protocols such as D2TCP incorporate explicit deadline into congestion window adjustment procedure to guarantee flows' latency and protocols such as...
Currently, Quantized Congestion Notification (QCN) has been accepted as the standard layer 2 congestion control protocol in Data Center Ethernet. Although the good performance of QCN has been validated in many experiments, we find that QCN has two drawbacks. First, the incomplete binary search in QCN fails to find the proper sending rate, leading to complicate supplement mechanisms. Second, in face...
To predict lower bounds on the performance of applications, the cloud should provide guarantees on bandwidth that each virtual machine can obtain. By competing for spare network bandwidth, current solutions that provide bandwidth guarantees can achieve work conservation as well. However, they usually fail to provide accurate bandwidth guarantees, for the interference between traffic for achieving...
Aware of the benefits that Software-Defined Networking (SDN) can entail for traffic engineered services, the pan-European National Research and Education Network (NREN) Géant has started to work on an SDN-based solution to provide Bandwidth on Demand (BoD) services. The proposed solution relies on a framework called DynPaC, which is able to provide resilient L2 services taking into account bandwidth...
We propose a distributed access point selection scheme by which nodes select an appropriate access point to associate with based upon each individual device's channel utilization. In this paper, we define channel utilization as the ratio of required bandwidth to estimated available bandwidth. By incorporating channel utilization into the access point selection protocol, we can effectively reduce unnecessary...
Direct (or device-to-device, D2D) communications are being investigated in the framework of LTE- Advanced. They allow one-to-one communications between two endpoints, under the control of the eNodeB, which allocates resources for the d2d flow, but does not act as a relay for its traffic. The direct link can also be used for file transfer or proximity-based browsing, i.e. applications running on TCP...
The ability of reconfiguring a system during runtime is essential for dynamic real-time applications in which resource usage is traded online for quality of service. The HaRTES switch, which is a modified Ethernet switch, holds this ability for the network resource, and at the same time it provides hard real-time support for both periodic and sporadic traffic. Although the HaRTES switch technologically...
Multipath TCP is an extension to TCP protocol that allows a single connection to be split across multiple paths. MPTCP overcomes few limitations of TCP thereby offering added benefits like increased throughput and network resource utilization and resilience to possible link failures. Different data paths over the network face different end-to-end path delay. The performance of MPTCP is affected not...
Cognitive Radio is an emerging technology to reduce the problem of spectrum scarcity for the development of wireless communication by utilizing the continuous and wide spectrum resources. There exist two methods by which one can utilize the resources in Cognitive Radio Network efficiently. First is cooperative routing and the other is spectrum aggregation. This paper consists of an overview of the...
Real-time Ethernet is expected to become the core technology of future in-car communication networks. Following its current adoption in subsystems for info- and entertainment, broadband Ethernet promises new features in the core of upcoming car series. Its full potential will enfold when deploying Ethernet-based backbones that consolidate all automotive domains on a single physical layer at increased...
