BTLive is a novel, unique, mesh/push-based peer-to-peer (P2P) live video streaming mechanism. Previous studies show that it achieves significantly lower streaming delays than other approaches but suffers from a high overhead, where peers receive up to 33% duplicate video chunks. Other P2P streaming mechanisms, most of which are either mesh/pull or tree/push-based, do not experience duplicates at such...
OpenFlow/Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a new networking paradigm that virtualizes network infrastructure by decoupling the control and data plane logic of traditional network devices. The controller of SDN has the overall look about network topology and hence provides flexibility to network operators to implement its own routing approaches. However, it could not control the way client works...
Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) has witnessed significant attention from academia and industries, due to the growing number of applications and devices focusing on safety and efficiency in transportation. Video Streaming in Vehicular Communication (VSVC) presents interactive real-time view of an emergency incidence on roads. On-board unit of vehicles are utilized for streaming real time video of...
The purpose of this research is to address the issue of enhancing the Quality of Service(QoS) in IP networks, to make it more optimal in a given network of networks using a novel approach. In this approach, QoS is provided to the packet even when the packet crosses its access network into the backbone. It proposes a new design or set of features in the routers which maps and translates the QoS provisioning...
The growing data traffic demand is forcing network operators to deploy more base stations, culminating in dense heterogeneous networks that require a high-connectivity backhaul. This scenario imposes significant challenges for current and future cellular networks, and Software Defined Networking (SDN) has been pointed as an enabling technology to overcome existing limitations. This paper shows how...
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a promising technology for future internet applications through decoupling the data and control planes of computer networks. Enabling the development of application specific routing algorithms, the separation fosters the performance of internet applications. On the other hand, Application Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) provides network related information such...
With the pretty prompt growth in Internet content, the main usage pattern of internet is shifting from traditional host-to-host model to content dissemination model. To support content distribution, content delivery networks (CDNs) gives an ad-hoc solution and some of future internet projects suggest a clean-slate design. Web applications have become one of the fundamental internet services. How to...
Network technology is being developed as a next-generation network (NGN) which is a software-defined networking. The network management can be done directly from the control unit that separated from the transmission unit, called as a forwarder and decoupling controller, which makes efficient network management. In the near future, the next generation network will be used to replace a traditional network...
Real-time video dissemination over Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) is fundamental for many services, e.g., emergency video delivery, road-side video surveillance, and advertisement broadcasting. These applications deal with several challenges due to strict video quality level requirements and highly dynamic topologies. To handle these challenges, geographic receiver-based beacon-less approaches...
This paper describes a scalable mechanism to set up a point-to-multipoint tree which supports ICN-oriented services such as publish-subscribe and request aggregation. The mechanism is based on autoconfiguration and legacy unicast IP routing. The scalability issues with several current ICN approaches that apply routing based on data object names can thereby be avoided. An application-independent network...
Making the network programmable simplifies network management and enables network innovations. The Recursive Inter Network Architecture (RINA) is our solution to enable network programmability. ProtoRINA is a user-space prototype of RINA and provides users with a framework with common mechanisms so a user can program recursive-networking policies without implementing mechanisms from scratch. In this...
In this demo paper, we demonstrate and evaluate a novel Opportunistic Routing (OR) protocol for video multicast, namely Video-aware Multicast Opportunistic Routing (ViMOR), over 802.11 two-hop mesh networks. OR exploits the broadcast nature of the wireless medium and offers spatial diversity among the receivers. ViMOR extends MORE, a state of the art OR algorithm, by orchestrating packet transmissions...
In this paper, we propose and characterize the performance of a novel video-aware Opportunistic Routing (OR) algorithm for multicast, using a one-hop and two-hop forwarding scheme in 802.11 mesh networks. We believe that the OR approach exploits the inherent broadcast nature of the wireless medium and adapts very well in the lossy wireless environment. Inferring from the above, we extend a state of...
Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) are considered as one of the most prominent infrastructures for human-centric multimedia applications due to the wide availability of low-cost hardware such as microphones and CMOS cameras. By virtue of the energy limitations on sensor nodes alongside the explicit highly demanding bandwidth requirements of real-time multimedia applications, these particular...
Thanks to the “on-demand” nature of cloud computing, a large number of applications have been recently migrated to the cloud. To take full advantage of superior connectivities between geo-distributed datacenters, application traffic can be “ferried” through the cloud to provide better service and user experience. However, implementing and deploying such inter-datacenter protocols for various applications,...
Media streaming is the killer application in current Internet. There are a variety of media streaming techniques in today's Internet, such as RTSP, HTTP live streaming and Adobe Flash etc. HTTP live streaming (HLS) is a popular and most promising technique as the protocol is based on the Internet workhorse protocol i.e. HTTP, and supported by HTML5 and mobile platform. Most of these media streaming...
Recently, it has been noted that the inefficiencies in peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks result in a large quantity of traffic among internet service providers (ISPs) or autonomous systems (ASes). To optimize cross-ISP/AS traffic, the existing approaches introduce network-aware strategies in which peers select geographically close peers as neighbors using topological information. However, each P2P...
As the technology of multimedia applications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is highly desired nowadays, how to guarantee real-time service becomes one of the biggest research challenges in this area. Even though lots of related works have been conducted to meet this requirement in several ways, the specific traffic model for multimedia applications has not been taken yet. It makes these new approaches...
