Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that makes people’s lives smart by conquering a plethora of diverse application and service areas. In near future, the fifthgeneration (5G) wireless networks provide the connectivity for this IoT ecosystem. It has been carefully designed to facilitatethe exponential growth in the IoT field. Network slicing is one […]

The advent of 5G has sparked interest in Wi-Fi offloading techniques that enable efficient resource sharing and congestion management of wireless communication spectrum. However, offloading data between multiple networks (i.e. service providers) requires costly inter-provider communication which has a substantial overhead as well as high offloading latency. Moreover, involvement of the profit-oriented decision making of […]

Large enterprises are moving towards Software Defined Network (SDN) adoption, where business-critical applications are being deployed on top of highly programmable network components and orchestrated by a single or multiple controllers using network protocols, such as OpenFlow or NetConf for communication. Just like in traditional networks, low-cost monitoring solutions need to be developed for SDN. […]

The global view enabled by a Software Defined Network (SDN) architecture allows us to observe the contribution of each congested router to the overall Mean Opinion Score (MOS) degradation of a VoIP service. Thus, when a number of routers in the path may add to the MOS degradation, the SDN controller can quantify the contribution […]

The Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm enables quick deployment of software controlled network infrastructures, however new approaches to system monitoring are required to provide network administrators with instant feedback on a network’s health. This paper details the deployment of an SDN system architecture featuring the integration of a cloud-based, real-time log-analysis platform. The proposed architecture […]
