A heuristic algorithm is proposed in this paper to construct a set of Steiner trees for multicast with multiple sources under the software-defined networking (SDN) architecture, where each source is associated with a group of receivers. It is based on ...

Software-defined networking brings extra complexity to debugging while enhancing network manageability. The competition between applications and subtle bugs in controllers or switches may cause inconformity between control plane logic and data plane ...

As today's networks become larger and more complex, the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) flooding attack threats may not only come from the outside of networks but also from inside, such as cloud computing network where exists multiple tenants ...

TCP congestion control has been known for its crucial role in stabilizing the Internet and preventing congestion collapses. However, with the rapid advancement in networking technologies, resulting in the emergence of challenging network environments ...

In recent years, various location based services (LBS) have witnessed great development and are being prevalently used in our life. However, as the foundation of various LBS applications, localization consumes large energy of resource-constraint mobile ...

The characteristic of Internet TV user behavior is quite essential for designers to optimize resource schedule and improve user experience. With the rapid development of Internet, both Internet TV users and STB (set top boxes) models are booming. This ...

Information-centric networking (ICN) is a promising framework providing data through their names. It is expected that ICN will provide many-to-many communications enabling the efficient content sharing. To provide such many-to-many communications, ...

Especially in rural areas, a high-speed but high-cost data communication infrastructure is not always available. In such conditions, a store-carry-and-forward-based message relaying over existing vehicle networks is a promising approach to delivery of ...

This paper presents the design of Directed-Propagation Link-State Routing Protocol (DPLSR), which tries to address the issue of prefix flooding storm in NDN Link-state Routing Protocol. Since the number of data object is several order of magnitude of ...

In order to enable intrinsic security without the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) deployment, flat self-certifying addresses have been involved into the future Internet architecture (FIA) designs. In contrast to deriving a self-certifying address from ...

Yamata-no-Orochi is an authentication and authorization infrastructure across multiple service domains and provides Internet services with unified authentication and authorization mechanisms. In this paper, Yamata-no-Orochi is incorporated into a video ...

While email plays a growingly important role on the Internet, we are faced with more severe challenges brought by compromised email accounts, especially for the administrators of institutional email service providers. Inspired by the previous experience ...

As DNS packet are mostly UDP-based, make it as a perfect tool for hackers to launch a well-known type of distributed denial of service (DDoS). The purpose of this attack is to saturate the DNS server availability and resources. This type of attack ...

Network virtualization involves creating multiple virtual networks within a physical network, based on the flexible network environment of software-defined networking (SDN). In a virtualized SDN (vSDN), a network hypervisor plays a key role in ...

Various mobile applications require different QoS requirements, thus there is a need to resolve the application requirement into the underlying mesh network to support them. Existing approach to coordinate the application traffic requirement to ...

Publish/Subscribe paradigm has been widely used in large-scale distributed systems, as well as in information-centric networks (ICNs) due to its properties of asynchronous, loosely-coupled and many-to-many communications. This paper focuses on matching ...

We show that an aggregated Interest in Named Data Networking (NDN) may fail to retrieve desired data as the Interest sent upstream in advance is recognized as a duplicate one due to its multipath forwarding and dropped by an upstream node. Furthermore, ...

As the Internet grows, the Internet service providers (ISPs) and content providers tend to be more densely connected to the Internet to improve performance and redundancy, which leads to a flattening of the Internet topology at the autonomous system (AS)...

In this paper, we describe an on-going experimental effort to inter-connect and federate distributed SDN-cloud resources that are spread over separate administrative domains. The proposed Software-Defined Inter-Connections utilizes the mixture of tunnel-...
