Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are playing remarkable contribution in real time decision making by actuating the surroundings of environment. As a consequence, the contemporary agriculture is now using WSNs technology for better crop production, such as irrigation scheduling based on moisture level data sensed by the sensors. Since WSNs are deployed in constraints environment, the life time of sensors...
The rapid proliferation of devices of the Internet of Things requires a vast network of heterogeneous devices to maintain the ability to communicate rapidly and seamlessly. The transition to delay sensitive Tactile Internet applications would demand on a new information and communications infrastructure. In our previous work, we have proposed a fast Location basEd Source Switching (LESS) mechanism...
Over the past two decades, implementing routing lookups in dedicated hardware has been accepted as an undisputable gold standard in core Internet routers due to ever increasing performance requirements and unabated global routing table growth. Several recent proposals depart from that line of thinking and suggest that software algorithms running on commodity multi-core CPUs might (again) become well...
Network function virtualization (NFV) is a concept aiming to achieve telecom grade cloud ecosystem for new generation networks focusing on Capital and Operational expenditure (CAPEX and OPEX) savings. Keeping at least the same performances is one of the main requirements of the applications when being virtualized. This work presents a performance impact of Open Virtual Switch (OVS) user-space forwarding...
IPv6 is an ultimate solution to the Internet address exhaustion. It is believed, the protocol will be requested by not only human but also everything on the earth surface. Furthermore, the improvement on the protocol is important to achieve IP packets transmission efficiently. Processing technology has been improved to become very fast packet processing both in host as well as intermediate systems...
In this paper, an FPGA-based implementation of Frequent Items Counting is proposed. The architecture deploys the equality comparator matrix for comparing the input items with themselves to count them instantly within a single operating clock. The proposed architecture is applied to the case of the 8-bit item. That means 256 different types of items in total. The system is built and verified on the...
In the rapid growth environment, internet plays a vital role in each and every one's life. As to reach high performance communication in the network, electronic devices are the most important element to forward multimedia messages from one place to another place. Whenever unaccountable messages are passing from one node to another node there are heavy collision and congestion in the network because...
The growing of the internet use is proportional with the growing of IP address needs, but the increasing of the IP use is not equal with the number of available IPv4. Then, IPv6 was developed as a solution to overcome the limited amount of IPv4 address. Readiness of various aspects ranging from infrastructure to a service provider is required to implement IPv6. In order to improve the quality of IPv6...
A structured overlay running as the base of a DHT or ALM occasionally receives a large number of messages collectively. Those cases are opportunities for an overlay to bundle multiple different messages into a single message and achieve extraordinarily effective message deliveries. Such message bundling reduces the number packet transmissions on an underlay network such as an IP network. This paper...
In recent years, there is a rapid growth in the internet services which has increased incoming traffic in the network and also plays a vital role in increasing the size of the cluster server. The load balancing is a key technology to manage the traffic efficiently. In this paper, we propose an alternative load balancing architecture using OpenFlow switches which are connected to the controller. This...
A Named Data Networking (NDN) router can maintain a record in its PIT for every Interest packet and leverage PIT table to achieve the goal of stateful forwarding. In this paper, a more general application scene that presents new challenges for stateful forwarding is considered. The network element needs to keep states of previously forwarded packets to determine the forwarding behavior of subsequent...
Network Function Virtualization promises to reduce the overall operational and capital expenses experienced by the network operators. Running multiple network functions on top of a standard x86 server instead of dedicated appliances can increase the utilization of the underlying hardware and reduce the maintenance and management costs. However, total cost of ownership calculations are typically a...
Serving user requests from near-by caches or servers has been a powerful technique for localizing Internet traffic with the intent of providing lower delay and higher throughput to end users while also lowering the cost for network operators. This basic concept has led to the deployment of different types of infrastructures of varying degrees of complexity that large CDNs, ISPs, and content providers...
NAT gateway is an important network system in today's IPv4 network when translating a private IPv4 address to a public address. However, traditional NAT system based on Linux Netfilter cannot achieve high network throughput to meet modern requirements such as data centers. To address this challenge, we improve the network performance of NAT system by three ways. First, we leverage DPDK to enable polling...
Due to the expensive hardware and complex management of the traditional middlebox, a concerted effort towards the virtualized middlebox has been launched in both academia and industry. In this paper, we propose a unified middlebox model, MBBrick, which is composed of three operation modules (classifier, rewriter, forwarder) and a control module (the mcontroller). We then design a language, MG, to...
IPsec is a suite of protocols that adds security to communications at the IP level. However, the high computing power required by the IPsec algorithms limits network connection performance. The paper presents the hardware implementation of IPsec gateway in FPGA. Efficiency of the proposed solution allows to use it in networks with data rates of several Gbit/s.
The development of cloud computing technology and the popularization of cloud services have a great impact on the industry. On the one hand, cloud technology enhances network's operation efficiency and reduces the cost. On the other hand, the cloud resource can be accessed by any network equipment. It increases the chances that the identity of user is misrepresented and then led to many security problems...
The Trafïîc Flow Description (TFD) option is an experimental option of the IP protocol, designed by the Authors, able to assure signaling for QoS purposes. The option is used as a carrier of knowledge about forthcoming traffic. If planning horizons are short enough, this knowledge can be used for dynamic bandwidth allocation. In the paper an analysis of QoS assurance using the TFD option is presented...
The transmission speed of mobile communication systems for mobile and IoT (Internet of things) devices is getting faster. Advanced, high-speed and low-power processing on network packets are needed in these devices. To realize these performances in the devices, the authors have proposed FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays) which are developed by the RTL (register-transfer level) design methodology...
Network packet classification is important network kernel function to enables various network services such as Quality of Service (QoS), security and resource reservation. The OpenFlow protocol is the responsible of the packet classification, it uses a set of rules called ruleset, each rule in that rule set contain a set of matching fields. With the rapid growing of rulesets size and rule fields numbers...
