The IP network is time-consuming for configuration and troubleshooting because it requires access to every device command line interface (CLI) or Graphical User Interface (GUI). In other words, the control plane (gathering information to…
Nowadays, most mobile devices are equipped with multiple wireless interfaces, causing an emerging research interest in device to device (D2D) communication: the idea behind the D2D paradigm is to exploit the proper interface to directly…
Ideally, by enabling multi-tenancy, network virtualization allows to improve resource utilization, while providing performance isolation: although the underlying resources are shared, the virtual network appears as a dedicated network to…
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is an enhancement of Ethernet which provides various mechanisms for real-time communication. Time-triggered (TT) traffic represents periodic data streams with strict real-time requirements. Amongst others,…
Software defined networking implements the network control plane in an external entity, rather than in each individual device as in conventional networks. This architectural difference implies a different design for control functions…
5G brings many improvements to cellular networks in terms of performance, such as lower latency, improved network efficiency, and higher throughput, making it an attractive candidate for many applications. One such domain is industrial…
Next-generation networks, based on SDN and NFV, are expected to support a wide array of services, including vehicular safety applications. These services come with strict delay constraints, and our goal in this paper is to ascertain to…
Bulk transfers from one to multiple datacenters can have many different completion time objectives ranging from quickly replicating some $k$ copies to minimizing the time by which the last destination receives a full replica. We design an…
