In this paper, we present L-SCN, a new routing architecture for Service-Centric Networking (SCN), which makes use of a two-layer forwarding scheme composed of inter-domain and intra-domain communication. Unlike existing SCN routing architectures relying on a flat organization, our design splits the network into domains. Nodes within a domain possess significant knowledge about existing services and...
OpenStack has been widely acknowledged to be one of the most important open source cloud platforms. In order to perform experimentally driven research in the area of cloud and cloud networking, there is however a big gap, because most researchers do not have access to a large cloud deployment and cannot change networking or compute infrastructure in order to test their algorithms and protocols on...
Aggregating common-path network flows (in the network interior) helps in improving the applications delivery performance. From the network edge perspective, the sender and receiver-ends of the respective applications need to have a typical one-to-one mapping. An aggregation framework in the network therefore needs an effective forking to maintain the one-to-one mapping of the flows. In this demo,...
In this paper, we consider the algorithmic task of content replication and request routing in a distributed caching system consisting of a central server and a large number of caches, each with limited storage and service capabilities. We study a time-slotted system where in each time-slot, a large batch of requests has to be matched to a large number of caches, where each request can be served by...
The Named Data Networking (NDN) and Content-Centric Networking (CCNx) architectures use a forwarding plane that requires large Forwarding Information Bases (FIB) listing the next hops to name prefixes and Pending Interest Tables (PIT) that maintain per-Interest forwarding state. We introduce CCN-RAMP (Routing to Anchors Matching Prefixes), a new approach to content-centric networking that substitutes...
Network path selection defines the methodology of selecting the best routes and forwarding traffic in a network service provider (NSP). NSPs use routing protocols that are optimized for a single arbitrary metric (i.e., administrative weight), which is commonly calculated according to the link state information, to select network paths. Despite the advantages, link-state protocols lack the ability...
The flow of information among people through electronic devices has undeniably become an important aspect of many human lives. The importance of the Internet has grown in time to settle on almost even grounds with electricity. Here, we present a novel hybrid approach to opportunistic wireless networking. The main objective of our work was to propose a system with a feature-set attractive for real...
Motivated by timeouts in Internet services, we consider networks of infinite server queues in which routing decisions are based on deadlines. Specifically, at each node in the network, the total service time equals the minimum of several independent service times (e.g. the minimum of the amount of time required to complete a transaction and a deadline). Furthermore, routing decisions depend on which...
The work described in this paper presents an original hierarchical protocol based on the Partitioned Binary Search Tree (PBST*). PBST* is a new tree-based scalable distributed data structure. The principal feature of the proposed protocol is the organization of WSN as a balanced tree with one root at the base station (BS). Moreover, the protocol proposes a new technique to avoid the hot spot problem...
CCN (Content Centric Networking) is a new network architecture, which is optimized for content distribution by introducing route cache and request aggregation. However, current CCN is still similar to traditional Client/Server network architecture, with limited cache space, and the request aggregation policy is suitable for live streaming media rather than streaming media on demand. The main reason...
Energy consumption in data center has already become a widely concerned issue in cloud computing research. There are many studies on data center energy efficiency optimization. But most of them focus on the energy consumption of the servers and cooling equipment. Few of them considered data center network (DCN), which is also a significant energy consuming component. By applying newly emerged Software...
Fault tolerance is a challenging requirement in virtualized data centers. While distributed layer 2 routing TRILL-like protocols are robust and scalable, they still lack efficiency upon a link failure. In this paper, we propose a hybrid architecture that achieves the best tradeoff between efficiency of centralized architectures and robustness of distributed ones. This architecture is based on a centralized...
In this paper, we propose a model along with a novel methodology to represent and validate a Network-On-Chip (NoC) server processor's Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) functions during the pre-silicon design phase. The effectiveness of this methodology is demonstrated in a real-life use case on one of the most advanced NoC Server designs in the industry.
Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a new technology that integrates the potentials of next generation wireless networks into vehicles. The design of routing protocols in VANETs is crucial in supporting the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Typical geographic routings only use local information to make routing decisions which may lead to local maximum and sparse connectivity problems. This...
With the increasing popularity of cloud computing, the huge amount of energy consumed by data centers has gained much attention. Current proposals address the energy efficiency problem by two major methods: optimizing the allocation of physical servers and network elements (routers or switches). In order to improve resource utilization and minimize the energy consumption, the former method focuses...
Resource abstraction aims at enabling flexible allocation of capacity to serve demands by aggregating physical resources taken out of distributed resource pools accessible via dedicated gateways. This paradigm sits at the heart of many networking models including resource virtualization and other cloud computing. In this paper, we show this generic problem can be modeled by combining and extending...
We propose a high network utilization CONGestion- Aware load balancing approach, Multi-hop CONGA. It aims at improving the performance of handling traffic asymmetry, which happens occasionally in data centers. It leverages regular Clos topology and overlays for virtualization. In this paper, we schedule at the unit of flowlet, which is the burst of packets belonging to a flow, and make routing decisions...
As data grows exponentially within data centers, cluster deduplication storage systems face challenges in providing high throughput, high deduplication ratio and load balance. As the key technique, data routing algorithm has a strong impact on the deduplication ratio, throughput and load balance in cluster deduplication storage systems. In this paper, we propose SS-Dedup, a novel stateful data routing...
Satellite networks are easy-to-deploy solutions to connect rural un-served and underserved areas. But satellite latency has a significant negative impact on performance. Hybrid networks, combining high-throughput long-delay links (e.g. GEO satellites) and short-delay low-throughput links (e.g. poor ADSL), can improve user experience by the use of intelligent routing. Emerging solutions, such as MultiPath...
The switch in video delivery from traditional medium to Over-The-Top (OTT) based services has been a game changer for stakeholders of the media delivery ecosystem. It has changed the value chain enabling Content Delivery Networks and Content Providers to take the lion's share at the expense of Internet/Network Service Providers. Even if establishing collaboration between them naturally appears as...
