Patrick Leu SDN - assisted IP Multicast
نویسندگان
چکیده
IP multicast provides efficient one-to-multipoint delivery of IP packets. However, IP multicast has seen a rather slow deployment in the open Internet. A problem content providers face is the lack of group management offered by the service model. The goal of this project is to propose a receiver access control scheme for IP multicast with SDN-assistance in the receiver domain. We therefore describe requirements on such a scheme with en emphasis on the commercial perspective. We then propose a design for a receiver access control scheme and evaluate it with regard to our requirements as well as security threats. In addition, we provide estimates on the complexity imposed by our scheme on both senders and controller.

Adaptive and Flexible SDN-based Multicast for Efficient Data Center Networking
Data center networks (DCNs) rely heavily on the use of group communications for various tasks. For example, data center management utilities (e.g., software update/upgrade, log management, resource monitoring, scaling up or down of resources, access control etc.), collaborative applications (e.g., social media, project management tools, version control systems, etc.), multimedia applications an...
متن کاملScalable multicasting with multiple shared trees in software defined networking
With Software Defined Networking (SDN), IP multicast becomes promising again. For IPTV applications over SDN, existing works would not scale well since they are based on per-source trees. As control-plane in SDN is logically centralized, constructing multiple shared trees is more feasible than that in traditional IP networks. Thus, in this work, we present a locality-aware multicast approach (L...
متن کاملDual-structure Data Center Multicast Using Software Defined Networking
Data center applications use multicast as an effective method to reduce bandwidth cost. However, traditional multicast protocols designed for IP networks are usually bottlenecked by the limited state capacity on switches. In this paper, we propose a scalable multicast solution on fat tree networks based on the observation that data center multicast traffic has strong heterogeneity. We propose t...
متن کاملXBF: Scaling up Bloom-filter-based Source Routing
A well known drawback of IP-multicast is that it requires per-group state to be stored in the routers. Bloom-filter based source-routed multicast remedies this problem by moving the state from the routers to the packets. However, a fixed sized Bloom-filter can only store a limited number of items before the false positive ratio grows too high implying scalability issues. Several proposals have ...
متن کاملScalable Steiner Tree for Multicast Communications in Software-Defined Networking
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) enables flexible network resource allocations for traffic engineering, but at the same time the scalability problem becomes more serious since traffic is more difficult to be aggregated. Those crucial issues in SDN have been studied for unicast but have not been explored for multicast traffic, and addressing those issues for multicast is more challenging since ...
