We have recently presented our work on probabilistic abstractions for proactive multi-RAT control and management at the 5GMan workshop held in conjunction with NOMS 2018. To our joy, this paper also received the “Best Paper Award”. In this paper, we motivate the need of probabilistic abstractions for monitoring and management of multi-RAT networks. We highlight the … Continue reading “Presentation at the IEEE/IFIP NOMS 2018 Workshop: International Workshop on Management of 5G Networks (5GMan)”
The emerging 100-Gbps deployments will soon challenge the packet processing limits of commodity hardware that is being used for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). As an illustration, the available time to process a 64-byte packet at 100 Gbps is only 5 nanoseconds. However, existing NFV platforms unnecessarily expend several nanoseconds exchanging packets between CPU cores to … Continue reading “Metron presentation (with video) at NSDI 2018: NFV Service Chains at the True Speed of the Underlying Hardware”
In our upcoming NSDI 2018 paper, we focus on how to realize high performance NFV service chains at the true speed of the underlying hardware. We solve this challenging problem by exploiting the synergy between available network resources (i.e., programmable switches and network cards) and commodity servers, while eliminating inter-core communication among the service chain components. We … Continue reading “Our upcoming NSDI paper on high performance and ultra efficient NFV service chaining”
In our NOMS 2018 paper, we focus on how to deploy distributed controllers for programmable networks. To solve this challenging problem, we propose an approach that can automatically decide the number of controllers, their locations and control regions, and is guaranteed to find a non-congestion controller deployment plan fulfilling requirements such as reliability and bandwidth. We … Continue reading “Our upcoming NOMS paper on the deployment of distributed controllers in programmable networks”
In our ICC 2018 paper, we focus on how to maintain stable network control services during intermittent network partitioning situations. To solve this challenging problem, we propose a new leader election algorithm that can perform leader election and node clustering in line with tunable optimization objectives related to group stability, size and merging cost. We demonstrate, via … Continue reading “Our upcoming ICC paper on stable network control under intermittent network partitioning situations”
