Ego-network concept has been systematically studied, since this kind of network employs only locally available information to analyze its structure. Degree, closeness, and betweenness are widely studied centrality measures. Among the three measures presented, betweenness centrality in ego-networks is the most used in several fields such as Wireless Mesh Networks, Wireless Sensor Networks, and Delay...
This paper investigates the multi-broker based network control and management paradigm for realizing scalable and cost-effective service provisioning in multi-domain software-defined optical networks. Experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposal and demonstrate ∼ 7.6× blocking reduction comparing with the conventional single-broker based solution.
Internet of Things (IoT) is characterized by heterogeneous devices that interact with each other on a collaborative basis to fulfill a common goal. In this scenario, some of the deployed devices are expected to be constrained in terms of memory usage, power consumption and processing resources. To address the specific properties and constraints of such networks, a complete stack of standardized protocols...
In telecommunication networks resilience intuitively refers to cycles and their lengths. More specifically, considering that the shortest cycle involving each pair of nodes in the network can be disassembled into two disjoint paths, a working path and a backup path, the average of the shortest cycles involving each pair of nodes in the network can be considered as an indicative of resilience. In turn,...
Full mesh is the most commonly used networking topology in Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) based videoconferencing (VC) applications, however, due to its inherently poor scaling capability it is not appropriate for multi-party VC with many participants. Solutions based on centralized media server infrastructures are used to leverage the scaling problem. Service providers adopting centralized...
Failing to make use of multi-path advantages in data center networks (DCNs) has confined accessible resources and increased the possibility of congestion. In this paper, we have presented a new algorithm for traffic engineering (TE) in a modular mode. In the proposed algorithm, the less loaded paths for conduction of current are selected with regard to the present conditions as soon as a current is...
This paper concerns quality of service in optical burst switching realized by dynamic wavelength grouping. It reports detailed simulations of this method in presence of combined edge-core nodes using special scheduling algorithm. Specifically, we are interested in optimal partitionings of wavelengths among traffic classes of high and low priority. We observe certain tradeoffs between minimizing the...
In this paper, we propose an OpenFlow-assisted framework for P2P (peer-to-peer) live streaming, which incorporates an OpenFlow-assisted architecture and an OpenFlow-assisted algorithm. The architecture combines the characteristics and advantages of both BitTorrent system and OpenFlow network. The algorithm can dynamically calculate the path and corresponding available bandwidth for each flow according...
In this work we describe the process of deploying virtual routers in accordance with flexible time allocation of virtual access to the processor. We developed the model of software router with a set of modern mechanisms and algorithms service information flows. Using the model of the router we enhanced functionality of the device: added mode of deployment of virtual nodes with the possibility of flexible...
The recent deployment of novel network concepts, such as M2M communication or IoT, has undoubtedly stimulated the placement of a new set of services, leveraging both centralized resources in Cloud Data Centers and distributed resources shared by devices at the edge of the network. Moreover, Fog Computing has been recently proposed having as one of its main assets the reduction of service response...
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...
Software Defined Networking (SDN) technologies provide applications opportunities to manipulate underlying network flows and topologies via network controllers during runtime. In cloud environments, networked virtual machines can be enhanced by SDN by providing applications with controllable infrastructures to meet system-level quality requirements; however, customizing a suitable network topology...
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...
Software Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualisation provide significantly more flexibility and control when provisioning QoS for delay sensitive services. Network delay can have a detrimental impact on VoIP quality and, therefore, minimising delay can help maintain the quality and prevent call dropping. This paper proposes a queuing scheme based on packet delay for prioritising VoIP calls...
Virtualization of computing and communication infrastructureswere disseminated as possible solutions for networksevolution and deployment of new services on clouddata centers. Although promising, their effective applicationfaces obstacles, mainly caused by rigidity on the managementof communication resources. Currently, the Software-DefinedNetworks (SDN) paradigm has been popularizing customizationand...
Software Defined networks (SDNs) paradigm tries to improve the network performance, facilitating the network management and the scalability basing on open-source software and adding a new entity called controller that manages the entire network. One of the goals of the controller is taking decisions in regards to routing instead of distributing it among the network nodes, as usual. However, this field...
The continuous increase in data traffic, heterogeneous access networks, and the diversity in the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of the applications is expected to significantly increase the management complexity of 5G networks. Software Defined Networking provides an effective management architecture enabling more efficient utilization of 5G network resources. In this paper, a novel failure...
In 6LoWPAN, RPL routing protocol is suggested by IETF standard to enhance the Quality of Service of data transfer that occurs between non-root node to root node. In this paper, the performance of RPL is analyzed in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio and Round Trip Time. The analysis is carried out to study the behavior of topology control strategy in 6LoWPAN. Hence, the analysis is executed on various...
The handover algorithms implemented in Network Simulator-3 (A3RSRP and A2A4RSRQ) for Long Term Evolution (LTE) so far, under certain scenarios, fail to prevent unnecessary handovers like ping-pong handovers which may lead to poor channel quality. To address this issue, we present A1A3RSRP (based on Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP)) and A1A2A4RSRPRSRQ (based on both RSRP and Reference Signal...
