Being a state-of-the-art network, Software Defined Networking (SDN) decouples control and management planes from data plane of the forwarding devices by implementing both the control and management planes at logically centralized entity,…
Machine learning (ML) is increasingly being deployed in programmable data planes (switches and SmartNICs) to enable real-time traffic analysis, security monitoring, and in-network decision-making. Decision trees (DTs) are particularly…
Control planes for global carrier networks should be programmable (so that new functionality can be easily introduced) and scalable (so they can handle the numerical scale and geographic scope of these networks). Neither traditional control…
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…
The emergence of programmable data planes, and particularly switches supporting the P4 language, has transformed network security by enabling customized, line-rate packet processing. These switches, originally intended for flexible…
Redistribution of the intelligence and management in the software defined networks (SDNs) is a potential approach to address the bottlenecks of scalability and integrity of these networks. We propose to revisit the routing concept based on…
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…
Speculative decoding has emerged as a pivotal technique to accelerate LLM inference by employing a lightweight draft model to generate candidate tokens that are subsequently verified by the target model in parallel. However, while this…
Software-defined networking (SDN) is a novel paradigm that out-sources the control of packet-forwarding switches to a set of software controllers. The most fundamental task of these controllers is the correct implementation of the…
Software Defined Networking has unfolded a new area of opportunity in distributed networking and intelligent networks. There has been a great interest in performing machine learning in distributed setting, exploiting the abstraction of SDN…
Network function virtualization is the key to developing elastically scalable and fault-tolerant network functions (e.g. load balancer, firewall etc.). By integrating NFV and SDN technologies, it is feasible to dynamically reroute traffic…
Network operators today spend significant manual effort in ensuring and checking that the network meets their intended policies. While recent work in network verification has made giant strides to reduce this effort, they focus on simple…
In this paper, we propose an approach that relies on distributed traffic generation and monitoring to identify the operational data-paths in a given Software Defined Networking (SDN) driven data-plane. We show that under certain…
Networking data analytics is increasingly used for enhanced network visibility and controllability. We draw the similarities between the Software Defined Networking (SDN) architecture and the MapReduce programming model. Inspired by the…
Programmable data planes offer precise control over the low-level processing steps applied to network packets, serving as a valuable tool for analysing malicious flows in the field of intrusion detection. Albeit with limitations on physical…
Real-world structural optimisation problems involve multiple loading conditions and design constraints, with responses typically depending on states of discretised governing equations. Generally, one uses gradient-based nested analysis and…
The paradigm of large language model (LLM) reasoning is shifting from parameter scaling to test-time compute scaling, yet many existing approaches still rely on uniform brute-force sampling (for example, fixed best-of-N or self-consistency)…
Practically all of the planning research is limited to states represented in terms of Boolean and numeric state variables. Many practical problems, for example, planning inside complex software systems, require far more complex data types,…
Software Defined Networking (SDN) drastically changes the meaning and process of designing, building, testing, and operating networks. The current support for wireless net- working in SDN technologies has lagged behind its development and…
The centralized architecture in software-defined network (SDN) provides a global view of the underlying network, paving the way for enormous research in the area of SDN traffic engineering (SDN TE). This research focuses on the load…
