Future generation wireless networks are designed with extremely low delay requirements which makes even small contributed delays important. On the other hand, software defined networking (SDN) has been introduced as a key enabler of future…
Pulse-wave Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks generate short, synchronized bursts of traffic that circumvent pattern-based detection and quickly exhaust traditional defense systems. This transient and spatially distributed…
This paper aims to address the challenge of designing secure and high performance Quantum Key Distribution Networks (QKDN), which are essential for encrypted communication in the era of quantum computing. Focusing on the control and…
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…
The advancement in cloud networks has enabled connectivity of both traditional networked elements and new devices from all walks of life, thereby forming the Internet of Things (IoT). In an IoT setting, improving and scaling network…
Scalability of the control plane in a software-defined network (SDN) is enabled by means of decentralization of the decision-making logic, i.e., by replication of controller functions to physically or virtually dislocated controller…
This paper gives an overview on how Software Defined Networking (SDN) principles can be applied to existing Ethernet merchant silicon considering the requirements modern networks face. We show that existing Layer 2 features specified by…
BGP/MPLS IP VPN and VPLS services are considered to be widely used in IP/MPLS networks for connecting customers' remote sites. However, service providers struggle with many challenges to provide these services. Management complexity,…
An SDN-like centralized control architecture is increasingly popular and has been widely explored in cyber-physical systems (CPS) such as manufacturing, internet-of-things, and autonomous vehicle systems for higher flexibility,…
Many reasons make NFV an attractive paradigm for IT security: lowers costs, agile operations and better isolation as well as fast security updates, improved incident responses and better level of automation. On the other side, the network…
The current power grid is no longer a feasible solution due to ever-increasing user demand of electricity, old infrastructure, and reliability issues and thus require transformation to a better grid a.k.a., smart grid (SG). The key features…
SDN divides the networking landscape into 2 parts: control and data plane. SDN expanded it's foot mark starting with OpenFlow based highly flexible control plane and rigid data plane. Innovation and improvement in hardware design and…
Networks are designed with functionality, security, performance, and cost in mind. Tools exist to check or optimize individual properties of a network. These properties may conflict, so it is not always possible to run these tools in series…
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has raised the boundaries of cloud computing by offering unparalleled levels of control and flexibility to system administrators over their virtualized environments. To properly embrace this new era of…
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have plagued the Internet for decades, but the basic defense approaches have not fundamentally changed. Rather, the size and rate of growth in attacks have actually outpaced carriers' and DDoS…
Enforcing data protection and privacy rules within large data processing applications is becoming increasingly important, especially in the light of GDPR and similar regulatory frameworks. Most modern data processing happens on top of a…
Small cells are a cost-effective way to reliably expand network coverage and provide significantly increased capacity for end users. The ultra-high bandwidth available at millimeter (mmWave) and Terahertz (THz) frequencies can effectively…
Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) is an emerging technology that addresses the networking challenges presented by geo-distributed Data Centers (DCs). One of the major advantages of EVPN over legacy layer 2 VPN solutions is providing…
