Aiming at the problem that the dynamic arrival of the virtual network requests in the wireless network environment leads to the unbalanced allocation of the substrate network resources and the low acceptance rate of the subsequent requests, a topology-aware wireless virtual network embedding algorithm (WVNEA-TA) is proposed. By analyzing the dynamic topological attributes of the virtual network and...
Parity declustering is widely deployed in erasure coded storage systems so as to provide fast recovery and high data availability. However, to perform scaling on such RAIDs, it is necessary to preserve the parity declustered data layout so as to guarantee the RAID performance after scaling. Unfortunately, existing scaling algorithms fail to achieve this goal so they can not be applied for scaling...
The exponential growth of available data has increased the need for interactive exploratory analysis. Dataset can no longer be understood through manual crawling and simple statistics. In Geographical Information Systems (GIS), the dataset is often composed of events localized in space and time; and visualizing such a dataset involves building a map of where the events occurred.We focus in this paper...
Middleboxes (MBs), such as firewalls and load balancers, are playing an increasingly important role in cloud data centers for security or performance purposes. The recent introduction of Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) in cloud data centers has greatly facilitated the efficient management of software-based middbleboxes in data center networks. In policy-driven...
An energy-efficient association control algorithm for wireless networks is proposed. Both the wake-sleep switch of each base station and the resource reservation overhead of its neighboring base stations are considered as factors to impact the base station on-off switch decision and the user association. The simulation results show that the overall system energy consumption can be reduced thanks to...
Aiming at efficiently mapping multiple virtual optical networks (VONs) on a shared substrate network. This paper proposes a load balancing algorithm that is based on key-link and resources contribution degree (RCD) for VONs mapping (KLRVM) in elastic optical networks (EONs). In this algorithm, virtual nodes mapping gets the network status according to the proposed RCD, and comprehensively considers...
In this paper, we propose a distance-adaptive load balancing algorithm to improve spectrum efficiency and to reduce power consumption in flexible bandwidth optical networks. Simulation results show that our proposed DALB algorithm significantly reduces blocking probability but consumes more power consumption compared to the traditional Dijkstra algorithm under the 40 Gbps, 100 Gbps, and mixed line...
In this paper, we investigate tradeoff between failure probability and load balancing in flexible bandwidth optical networks. We develop a tradeoff-principle algorithm (TPA) to improve spectrum efficiency and introduce a traditional algorithm (TA) for comparison. Simulation results show that TPA achieves better performance compared to TA.
We have introduced a novel metro network architecture called Ultra-Dense Wavelength Switched Network (UD-WSN) [1], which enables an even fine spectrum granularity so as to efficiently accommodate low-speed metro services (e.g., 1GE/10GE services). We evaluate the performance of this type of networks with spectrum defragmentation and partial optical transport network (OTN) switching. An efficient spectrum...
Network virtualization is a dynamic context leading to imbalance for substrate network (SN) resources which can affect the virtual network (VN) request further. In this paper, we propose the GRC-mopso-VNE algorithm to solve the VNE problem taking link resources into consideration in the stage of node mapping. A novel metric is developed, i.e., global resource capacity (GRC), to evaluate the mapping...
The commonly existing employed centralized algorithms fail to be adaptive to the new storage pattern on mobile edge cloud. To address this issue, we propose an alternating-direction-method-of-multipliers-based collaborative storage algorithm called MECCAS (Mobile Edge Cloud Collaborative Storage). The proposed MECCAS is able to minimize the delay of task execution and total costs for the overall operation,...
Traffic matrix is a key input of traffic engineering and network design. It describes the pattern of network traffic from a global perspective and is an important factor for network management decision. TM-LB algorithm is a traffic matrix-based load balancing algorithm. However, the algorithm considers the link weights without the influence of link distance and utilization. Meanwhile the algorithm...
Network function virtualization has emerged as a promising technology to enable rapid network service composition/innovation, energy conservation and cost minimization for network operators. To optimally operate a virtualized network service, it is of key importance to optimally deploy a VNF (virtualized network function) service chain within the provisioning infrastructure (e.g., servers and the...
In this paper, we advocate the notion of "BIG" cache as an innovative abstraction for effectively utilizing the distributed storage and processing capacities of all servers in a cache network. The "BIG" cache abstraction is proposed to partly address the problem of (cascade) thrashing in a hierarchical network of cache servers, where it has been known that cache resources at intermediate...
Spectrum-sliced elastic optical path networks (SLICE) enable flexible bandwidth provisioning, which allows efficient resource utilization and support to heterogeneous bandwidth demands. This makes SLICE a very promising networking architecture. In SLICE, finding a route and a slice of the spectrum is an important design problem, which is known as the Routing and Spectrum Assignment (RSA) problem....
Erasure-coded storage systems have gained considerable adoption recently since they can provide the same level of reliability with significantly lower storage overhead compared to replicated systems. However, background traffic of such systems - e.g. repair, rebalance, backup and recovery traffic - often has large volume and consumes significant network resources. Independently scheduling such tasks...
Erasure coding is an established data protection mechanism. It provides high resiliency with low storage overhead, which makes it very attractive to storage systems developers. Unfortunately, when used in a distributed setting, erasure coding hampers a storage system's performance, because it requires clients to contact several, possibly remote sites to retrieve their data. This has hindered the adoption...
Military operators require relevant information from Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets to make timely decisions and to issue effective responses to mission events. Today's sensing and Command and Control (C2) systems blindly collect and pass all available ISR data, which results in data overload that increases demand for communications bandwidth and processing power, with...
Recently, wireless sensor in the video surveillance system plays an important role, but the sensor operation is limited by battery capacity. Obviously, the technique to reduce power consumption is necessary. In this paper, a novel lossless embedded compression (EC) algorithm is proposed to reduce the memory bandwidth in video coding. It comprises two core techniques of Multi-directional Gradient Detection...
Elastic Optical Networks (EON) have been a constant focus of studies in recent years because they have characteristics that stand out in relation to current optical networks. Among these characteristics, it is possible to highlight the ability to transmit data with different bandwidths, adapted to the demand, which guarantees a high spectral efficiency. Different techniques and heuristics have been...
