This article addresses the problem of software-defined Networking (SDN) migration process under dynamic network conditions and present a SARSA-based approach to tackle the challenges associated with it. Traditional SDN migration techniques often ...

This article presents a SARSA-RL-based dynamic SDN migration process, designed to tackle the dynamicity of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) migration process. Existing migration techniques often struggle with the dynamic nature of network ...

Motivated by our experiences operating a global WAN, we argue that SDN's reliance on infrastructure external to the data plane has substantially complicated the challenge of maintaining high availability. We propose a new decentralized SDN (dSDN) ...

Software-defined networking (SDN) and software-defined flash (SDF) have been serving as the backbone of modern data centers. They are managed separately to handle I/O requests. At first glance, this is a reasonable design by following the rack-scale ...

We present the design, implementation, evaluation, deployment and production experiences of EBB (Express BackBone), a private WAN (Wide Area Network) connecting Meta's global data centers (DCs). Initiated in 2015, EBB now carries 100% of DC-DC traffic, ...

The volume of vehicular network traffic is very context (time and geographic location) and technology-dependent. Considering both multi-hop geocast and single-hop broadcast techniques, the route availability can be affected by transient and permanent ...

This paper presents a Scalable Video Coding (SVC) system over multicast Software-Defined Networking (SDN), which focuses on, transmission management for the sender-receiver model. Our approach reduces bandwidth usage by allowing the receiver to select ...

The software-defined space-air-ground integrated network (SAGIN) is regarded as future-generation networking solution due to its wide-area coverage and seamless communication support for ground networks and resource-intensive application support for space-...

The wireless sensor network (WSN) is a resource-constrained network type with two important challenges: energy consumption and network management. The goal of our design is to research and develop the WSN routing protocol, which is based on clusters and ...

The conventional approach for building software-defined network systems requires separately developing the management, control, and data planes. Manually written code connects the management plane's configuration to the control plane, and the control ...

Emerging software-defined networking technologies enable more adaptive communication infrastructures, allowing for quick reactions to changes in networking requirements by exploiting the workload's temporal structure. However, operating networks ...

We present a decade of evolution and production experience with Jupiter datacenter network fabrics. In this period Jupiter has delivered 5x higher speed and capacity, 30% reduction in capex, 41% reduction in power, incremental deployment and technology ...

Traditional enterprise security relies on network perimeters to define and enforce network security policies. Emerging application-focused Zero Trust architectures attempt to address this long-standing challenge by moving business applications to the ...

In software‐defined network (SDN) architecture, the network decisions are all located on a logically centralized controller. Based on installing rules into switches of the data plane, the controller directly initiates and schedules a network update ...

Control information batch delivery mechanism (CIBDM) is proposed for relieving the delay and enhancing the reliability of control message transmission in SD‐WANs. Every control information message may contain multiple update information and update ...

Software Defined Networking (SDN) enables flexible network management with a well-defined abstraction between control and data plane. In this way, operators could issue the policies, e.g., forwarding path, flow counting and rate limiting, from ...

Nowadays, ransomware attacks are becoming more popular because they allow attackers to receive ransom payments from their victims. While older ransomware used to spread using social engineering means, modern ransomware tends to also be equipped with ...

We address the routing optimization problem in Software-Defined Networks (SDN) to minimize the energy consumption while satisfying multiple QoS constraints of network services. In this paper, we: 1) formally define the problem of routing optimization in ...

This paper describes a novel approach to Network-Application Integration that leverages ideas from the integration between the network and in-network programs written in languages such as P4. That integration relies on models of the resources that a ...

The next-generation 5G cellular networks are designed to support the internet of things (IoT) networks; network components and services are virtualized and run either in virtual machines (VMs) or containers. Moreover, edge clouds (which are closer to ...

With the imminent deployment of the 5th generation (5G) mobile network in the nonstand‐alone version, some researches focus on network slicing to fully exploit the 5G infrastructure and achieve a highest level of flexibility in the network. This ...

In this paper, we confront the challenges related to the network slicing paradigm with the satellite network and define precisely what a satellite slice is. We take a top‐down approach to design an extensible network slicing framework in order to ...
