A NoC is composed by IP cores (Intellectual Propriety) and switches connected among themselves by communication channels. End-to-End Delay (EED) communication is accomplished by the exchange of data among IP cores. Often, the structure of…
This paper deals with congestion control in a software defined network (SDN) setting. Presently, explicit router schemes, such as Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), work in conjunction with the TCP protocol to handle congestion in a…
Modern multi-domain networks now span over datacenter networks, enterprise networks, customer sites and mobile entities. Such networks are critical and, thus, must be resilient, scalable and easily extensible. The emergence of…
In 5G and beyond, the newly emerging services, such as edge computing/intelligence services, may demand the provision of heterogeneous communications, computing, and storage (CCS) resources on and across network entities multihop apart. In…
Networked Controlled Systems (NCSs) are more and more used in industrial applications. They are strongly connected to real-time constraints because important delays induced by the network can lead to an unstable process control. Usually,…
The introduction of SDN in Service Providers' networks like GEANT is a challenging task. Prototypes of new generation services have to exhibit "carrier grade" characteristics, meet the high level expectations and specialized needs of GEANT…
