Software and hardware components are basic parts of modern networks. However the software compo- nent is typical sealed and function-oriented. Therefore it is very difficult to modify these components. This badly affected networking…
Destination IP prefix-based routing protocols are core to Internet routing today. Internet autonomous systems (AS) possess fixed IP prefixes, while packets carry the intended destination AS's prefix in their headers, in clear text. As a…
Software-defined networking (SDN) enables advanced operation and management of network deployments through (virtually) centralised, programmable controllers, which deploy network functionality by installing rules in the flow tables of…
A Software-Defined Network (SDN) controller (aka. Network Operating System or NOS) is regarded as the brain of the network and is the single most critical element responsible to manage an SDN. Complimentary to existing solutions that aim to…
In software-defined networking (SDN), as data plane scale expands, scalability and reliability of the control plane have become major concerns. To mitigate such concerns, two kinds of solutions have been proposed separately. One is multi-…
Software-defined networking (SDN) is the concept of decoupling the control and data planes to create a flexible and agile network, assisted by a central controller. However, the performance of SDN highly depends on the limitations in the…
The emergence of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has changed the network structure by separating the control plane from the data plane. However, this innovation has also increased susceptibility to DDoS attacks. Existing detection…
The research community has considered in the past the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to control and operate networks. A notable example is the Knowledge Plane proposed by D.Clark et al. However, such techniques have…
