The rapid rise in popularity of multimedia applications, such as VoIP, IPTV and Video Conferencing, intensifies the need to consider resource management for user satisfaction. Furthermore, improving Quality of Experience (QoE) in Software Defined Networks (SDNs) services is one of the important issues to be addressed by provisioning optimum resource management. In this paper, resource allocatio...

Software-Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are two technologies that have already had a deep impact on computer and telecommunication networks. Software Defined Networks (SDN) decouple network control from forwarding functions, enabling network control to become directly programmable and the underlying infrastructure to be abstracted from applications and network ...

It has been recently observed that Software Defined Networks (SDN) can change the paths of different connections in network at a relatively frequent pace to improve overall performance, including delay and packet loss, or respond other needs such as security. These changes mean SDN controls will seldom operate steady state; rather, may often be transient mode, especially when is heavily loaded ...

The emergence of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has revolutionized the Internet. Using SDN, network devices can be controlled from a centralized, programmable control plane that is decoupled their data plane, whereas with NFV, functions (such as address translation, firewall, intrusion detection) virtualized instead being implemented on proprietary h...

Network update enables Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) to optimize the data plane performance. The single focuses on processing one event at a time, i.e. , updating set of flows from their initial routes target routes, but it fails handle continuously arriving events in time incurred by high-f...
