Software Defined Networking Supported by IEEE 802.1Q

RFC 4363 Bridge MIB Extensions January 2006 1 . The Internet - Standard Management Framework

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, it defines two MIB modules for managing the capabilities of MAC bridges defined by the IEEE 802.1D-1998 (TM) MAC Bridges and the IEEE 802.1Q-2003 (TM) Virtual LAN (VLAN) standards for bridging between Local Area Network (LAN) segments. One MIB ...

Priority Flow Control: Build Reliable Layer 2 Infrastructure

This document describes priority flow control (PFC), one of the functions of IEEE 802.1 Data Center Bridging, introduced to address reliability at Layer 2 on the Ethernet medium. PFC enables lossless semantics for a subset of the Layer 2 flows carried on an Ethernet segment. The subset of flows subject to the lossless semantics is identified by the IEEE 802.1p class of service (CoS) information...

Software-Defined Networking: Standardization for Cloud Computing's Second Wave

IEEE 802.11s Mesh Networking NS-3 Model

We present an IEEE 802.11s wireless mesh networking model implemented in the open source Network Simulator 3 environment. Design solutions, supported and unsupported features of draft standard, optional protocols extensions and heuristics are summarized. Simulation of two typical mesh networking scenarios illustrates model behavior and simulation methodology. We argue that our NS-3 802.11s mode...

A Software-Defined Networking Model for Smart Transformers with ISO/IEC/IEEE 21451 Sensors

The IEC 61850-advanced smart transformer shows an improved performance in monitoring, controlling, and protecting the devices and equipment in smart substation. However, the heterogeneity, feasibility and network control problems have limited smart transformers in network performance. To address these issues, a software-defined networking model is proposed using ISO/IEC/IEEE 21451 networks. The...
