Internet traffic continues to grow relentlessly, driven largely by increasingly high resolution video content. Although studies have shown that the majority of packets processed by Internet routers are pass-through traffic, they nonetheless…
We present a modular framework to benchmark new and existing methods for trajectory planning and control in high-acceleration maneuvers that push autonomous driving to the limits. Our framework includes time-optimal raceline generation,…
In this paper, we propose a destination-aware adaptive traffic flow rule aggregation (DATA) mechanism for facilitating traffic flow monitoring in SDN-based networks. This method adapts the number of flow table entries in SDN switches…
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) grows for VoIP applications, and faces challenges including security and overload. On the other hand, the new concept of Software-defined Networking (SDN) has made great changes in the networked world. SDN…
With 5G networking, deterministic guarantees are emerging as a key enabler. In this context, we present a scalable Damper-based architecture for Large-scale Deterministic IP Networks (D-LDN) that meets required bounds on end-to-end delay…
Designing an efficient routing strategy is of great importance to alleviate traffic congestion in multilayer networks. In this work, we design an effective routing strategy for multilayer networks by comprehensively considering the roles of…
Deep neural networks (DNN) have been widely used and play a major role in the field of computer vision and autonomous navigation. However, these DNNs are computationally complex and their deployment over resource-constrained platforms is…

Future 5G services are characterised by unprecedented need for high rate, ubiquitous availability, ultra-low latency and high reliability. The fragmented network view that is widespread in current networks will not stand the challenge posed…
In this note, we discuss potential advantages in extending distributed optimization frameworks to enhance support for power grid operators managing an influx of online sequential decisions. First, we review the state-of-the-art distributed…
Current SDN controllers aggregate all control plane subsystems into a monolithic program. A controller that follows the aggregated approach defines its own set of programming interfaces and services, making application development dependent…
In this paper, we mainly investigate an integrated system operating under a software defined network (SDN) protocol. SDN is a new networking paradigm in which network intelligence is centrally administered and data is communicated via…
Modern information technology services largely depend on cloud infrastructures to provide their services. These cloud infrastructures are built on top of datacenter networks (DCNs) constructed with high-speed links, fast switching gear, and…
State synchronisation in clustered Software Defined Networking controller deployments ensures that all instances of the controller have the same state information in order to provide redundancy. Current implementations of controllers use a…
The expansion in automation of increasingly fast applications and low-power edge devices poses a particular challenge for optimization based control algorithms, like model predictive control. Our proposed machine-learning supported approach…
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controllers are considered as Network Operating Systems (NOSs) and often viewed as a single point of failure. Detecting which SDN controller is managing a target network is a big step for an attacker to…
Computer networks have become a critical infrastructure. In fact, networks should not only meet strict requirements in terms of correctness, availability, and performance, but they should also be very flexible and support fast updates,…
Current SDN controllers have been designed based on a monolithic approach that integrates all of services and applications into one single, huge program. The monolithic design of SDN controllers restricts programmers who build management…
