Software-Defined Networking (SDN) can be applied for managing application flows dynamically by a logically centralized SDN controller and SDN switches. Because SDN switch only support a few thousand installations of a forwarding rule per second, its poor performance becomes a bottleneck for dynamic and scalable application flow management. For this reason, reducing the number of flows is needed to...
Interactive and delay-sensitive applications constitute an important and growing part of the Internet. Today, low delays can only be achieved if there are no congested links along the path. At a bottleneck, the commonly used congestion control mechanisms induce high queuing delay and packet loss. Specialized congestion control mechanisms achieving a low queuing delay in an otherwise congested network...
Recent cloud datacenter network usually has multiple transmission paths for any pair of servers to increase the aggregate bandwidth and to improve the robustness of failure recovery. Therefore, Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is becoming one of the most important transport protocols exploring the multipath resource to improve the performance of cloud network. It is obvious that MPTCP could significantly increase...
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...
Congestion management detects congestion in a network and resolves it, e.g., by dropping or marking packets. A challenge is to drop or mark the right packets if fair capacity sharing is desired, especially if a few heavy users monopolize the bandwidth, e.g., by opening many flows or using non-responsive transport protocols. To this end, we propose activity-based congestion management (ABC). Users...
This paper proposes an approach to minimize service latency in a data center network where erasure-coded files are stored on distributed disks/racks and access requests are scattered across the network. Due to limited bandwidth available at both top-of-the-rack and aggregation switches, network bandwidth must be apportioned among different intra-and inter-rack data flows in line with their traffic...
In a multi-core system, interference at shared resources (such as caches and main memory) slows down applications running on different cores. Accurately estimating the slowdown of each application has several benefits: e.g., it can enable shared resource allocation in a manner that avoids unfair application slowdowns or provides slowdown guarantees. Unfortunately, prior works on estimating slowdowns...
We investigate the file transfer scheduling problem, where transfers among different endpoints must be scheduled to maximize pertinent metrics. We propose two new algorithms that exploit the fact that the aggregate bandwidth obtained over a network or at a storage system tends to increase with the number of concurrent transfers---but only up to a certain limit. The first algorithm, SEAL, uses runtime...
Software Defined Network (SDN) may significantly enhance network and service management by enabling separated control and data planes. The centralized OpenFlow controller with a global vision of network states offers a promising approach to realizing flow-based admission control for supporting Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning in SDN. However, per-flow process brings in challenges to scalability...
A key feature of Open Shortest Path First protocol mainly managing huge networks and providing the speedy destination result using a Dijkstra's Algorithm. A utilization of network recourses and exceed utilization of network resources are the not focusing in literature in OSPF based single path routing. Single path routing causes traffic congestion and less optimum bandwidth utilization where as techniques...
A multi-chip custom digital super-computer called eBrain for simulating Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network (BCPNN) model of the human brain has been proposed. It uses Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC), the 3D stacked DRAM memories for storing synaptic weights that are integrated with a custom designed logic chip that implements the BCPNN model. In 22nm node, eBrain executes BCPNN in real time with...
The router buffer sizing problem is a vital problem to the performance of the Internet. The traditional rule-of-thumb is that the router buffer size should be equal to the bandwidth-delay product (BDP) of a link. Recent studies show that the router buffer size can be significantly smaller than the BDP without causing negative impact on the TCP performance in the Internet. But a fundamental assumption...
Round-robin schedulers are the most efficient solution for providing strong QoS guarantees on high-speed links. Yet these schedulers suffer from a high worst-case delay with respect to an ideal, perfectly fair service. More costly schedulers are needed to provide better service guarantees. In this paper we tackle this problem by proposing a simple modification scheme for reducing the amortized execution...
To analyze network QoS (Quality of Service) performance and better utilize network resources, this paper develops an analytical model of QoS class mapping for hybrid QoS domains based on network calculus theory. Based on this model, an elastic QoS Mapping scheme with Flow Aggregate (EQM-FA) is proposed to support end-to-end QoS of multimedia services over heterogeneous wireless networks. In EQM-FA,...
In this paper, we present the Fair Early Drop (FED) scheme which aims to prevent the unfairness problem generated by unresponsive flows and treat the various kinds of transport traffic “fairly”. Unresponsive flows are managed by making sure they do not consume more than their fair share of network resources; that is, by dropping more packets from them. The dropping decision is simple with O(1) complexity...
Growing demand for streaming, voice and interactive gaming applications emphasize the importance of quality of service (QoS) provisioning in the Internet, particularly the need for maximum end-to-end delay guarantee. Current methods of QoS provisioning have either scalability concerns or cannot guarantee end-to-end delay with acceptable packet loss unless bandwidth is over-provisioned. While low jitter...
With the emergence of high bandwidth-delay product and heterogeneous wired / wireless networks, the standard TCP appears to be too conservative to offer reasonable performance. The use of parallel TCP connections has been suggested in such environments. We have demonstrated that, with the same level of aggressiveness, this approach can outperform the single-connection based approach. However, this...
We investigate and quantify the benefits of multipath routing in a wide-area distributed environment which includes inter-domain routing issues. In this context, we discuss two possible multipath routing schemes and focus on the viable solution for distributed data-intensive applications with high bandwidth and delay requirements. The network topology aggregation is extended for end-to-end multipath...
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a critical application in military networks for maintaining situational awareness and conducting battle management at all echelons. But these networks are often subject to frequent disconnections, limited bandwidth, and long delays, especially when using satellite services and field radios. Such conditions are inhospitable to TCP, and thus the standard IRC protocol, which...
