The Internet is indispensable for our life today and for our globalized financial economy. The effectiveness of the Internet as a public resource depends upon interoperability and trust. Free and open source software promotes the development of the Internet as a public resource. Physical location Internet eXchange Points (IXP) are highly valuable for the Internet as neutral exchange places wher...

The implementation growth of the Internet Things (IoT) may increase complexity data transmission process between smart devices. route generation available nodes on network will burden intermediary node. One possible solutions for resolving problem is integration Software Defined Networks and IoT (SD-IoT) to provide automation management. separation networking control forwarding functions a mult...

Services are increasingly provided by cloud computing systems. Such services are often accessed while on the move. If the distance between the user and the service is getting large, quality-of-experience, in particular for interactive services, deteriorates. To counter this, the provisioning location of the service should be as close to the user as possible. This paper describes the concept of ...

the actions associated with each flow entry as a piece of program. This allows us to decouple the match keys and actions. The actions can be downloaded to FEs separately in the form of instruction blocks. A flow entry only needs to include a block ID to infer the associated instruction block. By doing so, different flow entries can share the same instruction block, and there is theoretically no...

Unlike traditional networks which are statically configured, SDN control applications are dynamic and are becoming more heterogeneous and complex. There is a great need for a framework to reason about the behavior of the various SDN applications. To the best of our knowledge, current network modeling frameworks were not designed to incorporate the application logic into their models, and thus c...
