The current Internet architecture follows a hostcentric communication model, intended for machine to machine connection and message passing. Modern Internet users are mainly interested in accessing information by name, irrespective of physical location. Information centric networking (ICN) was developed to rethink Internet foundations. Innetwork caching is one of the main features of ICN. Studying...
Internet connection is essential for daily life, however not all areas are covered by Internet access due to historical reasons. For example, with 3.7 million daily passengers, London underground system has no WiFi or cellular signal provided during travelling due to legacy reasons. Deploy new access infrastructure need to consider the integrating problem with the current environment, also bring a...
Internet has become a foundation of our modern society. However, all regions or countries do not have the same Internet access regarding quality especially in the Indian Ocean Area (IOA). To improve this quality it is important to have a deep knowledge of the Internet physical and logical topology and associated performance. However, these knowledges are not shared by Internet service providers. In...
This paper provides insight into the effects of cross-border infrastructure and logical interconnections in Africa on both intra-country and cross-border latency on end-to-end Internet paths, by comparing Internet performance measurements between different countries. We collected ICMP pings between countries using Speedchecker and applied a community detection algorithm to group countries based on...
Either by resource-constrained communication systems, high signal propagation delay, or planet occlusion, space-terrestrial networks can neither expect a continuous nor instantaneous end-to-end connectivity. However, episodes of communications can be precisely computed based on orbital elements and then imprinted in contact plans to optimize Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) routing solutions...
Named Data Networking (NDN) is a promising solution to the explosion of multimedia traffic on the Internet. NDN shifts the paradigm of host-centric approach to name-based approach, allowing the retrieval of contents solely by their name. To support this, NDN has caching as one of its main feature. Seen as a critical aspect to maximize its potential, caching in NDN has invited a lot of researches related...
Information centric networking (ICN) is one of the emerging Internet paradigms proposed to overcome the shortcoming of the current host-centric Internet. With ubiquitous in-network caching, ICN can facilitate content delivery and reduce network delay. In this paper, we propose a novel collaborative caching scheme based on routers' position to cache popular videos on the edge routers which are closer...
This paper analysis starts from the typical architecture of high-frequency solid-state transformer (HF-SST), which is the core power part of Energy Internet, and studies the key technology and control scheme of main circuit of bidirectional dc/dc converter and cascaded H-bridge converter. Based on the complex structure, in dc/dc stage, the uniform-discretization control strategy is proposed to simplify...
The current inter-domain routing protocol, namely, the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), cannot provide end-to-end (E2E) quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees. The main reason is that an autonomous system (AS) can only receive guarantees from its first hop ASes via service level agreements (SLAs). But beyond the first hop, QoS along the path from source to destination AS is not within the source AS's control...
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the current standard protocol for the inter-domain routing system. Although BGP makes easy to manipulate the output traffic by an Autonomous System (AS), it lacks other desired features such as convenient management of incoming traffic to an AS. Thus, we propose a framework to evolve the control plane routing system that is compatible with BGP (smooth transition),...
Social networks are the major routes for most individuals to exchange their opinions about new products, social trends and political issues via their interactions. It is often of significant importance to figure out who initially diffuses the information, i.e., finding a rumor source or a trend setter. It is known that such a task is highly challenging and the source detection probability cannot be...
The content delivery network (CDN) intensively uses cache to push the content close to end users. Over both traditional Internet architecture and emerging cloud-based framework, cache allocation has been the core problem that any CDN operator needs to address. As the first step for cache deployment, CDN operators need to discover or estimate the distribution of user requests in different geographic...
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) is extensively used in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to its ability to transmit IPv6 packet with low bandwidth and limited resources. 6LoWPAN has several operations in each layer. Most existing security challenges are focused on the network layer, which is represented by its routing protocol for low-power...
Large-scale high-capacity communication networks among airborne platforms are quickly becoming a reality. Today, both Google and Facebook are seeking to form networks between high flying balloons and drones in an effort to provide Internet connections from the upper atmosphere to users on the ground. These airborne networks, that will likely use directional communication links between nodes to achieve...
In-network caching is an important feature of ICN (Information Centric Networking). There are prior arts focusing on designing a highly efficient caching strategy by exploiting either node data or content data respectively. However, simply exploiting these data itself is not enough to reduce the cost of network operation and increase the quality of user experience, as there is no consideration on...
This paper presents the contributions of the phd thesis “Mechanisms for management of SLA for Virtual Software Defined Networks based on QoS Classes”. Over the years the Internet has become the primary means of communication, where the users expect to access the Internet anytime, anywhere, and with a certain quality level. As a consequence, in the past few years the traffic demand to Internet access...
Information Centric Networking (ICN) is seen as a promising solution to re-conciliate the Internet usage with its core architecture. However, to be considered as a realistic alternative to IP, ICN must evolve from a pure academic proposition deployed in test environments to an operational solution in which security is assessed from the protocol design to its running implementation. Among ICN solutions,...
Internet of Things is one of the hottest topics in both industry and academia of the communication engineering world. On the other hand, wireless mesh networks, a network topology that has been discuss for decades that haven't been put into use in large scale, can make a difference when it comes to the network in the IoT world today. This paper is a brief introduction of how these technologies has...
The IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-power and Lossy Networks (RPL) has been recently standardized for routing in the constrained Internet of Things networks. Unfortunately, the RPL storing mode has been found restricted by storage limitations in the routers along the downward path. In fact, unreachable destinations problem may be easily encountered when a router fails, due to lack of memory, to store...
Named-Data Networking (NDN) is a novel clean-slate architecture for Future Internet. It has been designed to take into account a new use of the Internet and especially accessing content for a large number of users, and it integrates several features such as in-network caching, security or multipath. As NDN relies on content names instead of host address, it cannot rely on traditional Internet routing,...
