The high demand of bandwidth from multimedia applications, specially video applications which consume the great majority of the Internet bandwidth, has caused a challenge for service providers and network operators. On the one hand, the allocation of bandwidth in a fair manner for multimedia users is necessary, so that the total utility of all users is maximized for higher quality of experience. On...
This paper evaluates the performance of the routing protocols HWMP, Babel and B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced for disaster networks. The evaluation is performed using a virtual environment so that the obtained results are similar to the expectations of a real world testbed. According to the specific requirements in disaster situations, three different scenario categories are implemented. The focus of the scenarios...
A MANET or Mobile Ad-Hoc Network is decentralized in nature and it is basically a collection of heterogeneous mobile nodes which are autonomous and can communicate among themselves over the wireless link. In this infrastructure-less network, all the nodes dynamically route the packets by themselves with help of some protocols for sending or receiving the packet information. The ZRP or Zone Routing...
Applying network coding and opportunistic routing can significantly improve the throughput performance of wireless multi-hop networks, but a mismatch problem still exists among the upper flow rate, routing and lower transmission resource scheduling. This paper models the throughput optimization as a network utility function maximization in wireless multi-hop networks. By applying Lagrangian dual decomposition...
Multilayer Clustered Designing Algorithm is exploited to present MCDA - Hot Spot algorithm; a technique to increase the network throughput by alleviating the impact of hotspot issue on network lifetime. The network nodes in the hot spot region are in a flat layer form in contrast to rest of the network nodes that are grouped into clusters. This design substantially helps in achieving goal above. This...
OpenFlow/Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a new networking paradigm that virtualizes network infrastructure by decoupling the control and data plane logic of traditional network devices. The controller of SDN has the overall look about network topology and hence provides flexibility to network operators to implement its own routing approaches. However, it could not control the way client works...
This paper studies routing performance loss due to traffic split ratio granularity constraints. For any given fineness of traffic splitting capability, we provide upper bounds on the loss of performance. Based on tight convex relaxation, we further develop an efficient approximation algorithm to compute a good routing solution that satisfies given constraints on traffic splitting. The results can...
We present EclipseMR, a novel MapReduce framework prototype that efficiently utilizes a large distributed memory in cluster environments. EclipseMR consists of double-layered consistent hash rings - a decentralized DHT-based file system and an in-memory key-value store that employs consistent hashing. The in-memory key-value store in EclipseMR is designed not only to cache local data but also remote...
Due to the bufferless nature of optical burst switched (OBS) networks, contention/congestion in the core network can quickly lead to degradation in overall network performance at moderate to high traffic levels due to heavy burst losses. Several approaches have been explored to address this problem, notably measures that would minimize burstification delays, congestion, blocking at the same time enhancing...
CPU-GPU heterogeneous systems are emerging are emerging as architectures of choice for high-performance energy-efficient computing. Designing on-chip interconnects for such systems is challenging: CPUs typically benefit greatly from optimizations that reduce latency, but rarely saturate bandwidth or queueing resources. In contrast, GPUs generate intense traffic that produces local congestion, harming...
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...
In this paper the applicability of a fault tolerance synchronization algorithm is presented through data packet headers. Packet headers provide indicts for networking equipment on what must be done and in the case of real-time persistent routed sessions, these are a concise guideline on how to tune each parameter. Real-time sessions are transmitted with connection oriented protocols and need a constant...
System-Level simulator is proposed to determine the ability of synchronous and asynchronous NoCs to alleviate the process variation effect. Throughput variation and different delay components variation are provided by the newly developed framework. System-Level simulation shows similarities with circuit-level simulation in terms of behavior and performance variation trend when moving from one technology...
Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm in information technology (IT) that integrates advancements in sensing, computing and communication to offer enhanced services in everyday life. IoTs are vulnerable to sybil attacks wherein an adversary fabricates fictitious identities or steals the identities of legitimate nodes. In this paper, we model sybil attacks in IoT and evaluate its impact...
Low-Rate Wireless Sensor Networks (LR-WSNs) has become an active area of research in recent decades. ZigBee is a wireless standard based on IEEE 802.15.4 for LR-WSNs. Since in Zigbee networks energy is one of the most vital issues, the routing protocols must be energy efficient. By default, ZigBee uses an Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. In AODV, broadcasting is the backbone...
Energy consumption problem is considered an extremely important problem that faces the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). For this reason, a lot of efficient energy protocols have been developed in order to reduce the energy consumption, as well as to prolong the lifetime of the sensor networks. The DMHT-LEACH protocol is one of these protocols. It proposes a dynamic technique for facilitating the data...
When on-chip interconnection network scales to integrate more processing elements, the average end-to-end latency is highly increased due to long average hop distance. Though it has been discovered that, almost of the communication in large scale networks is between nodes in a short range, it revealed that the small portion of data delivery between distant nodes consumes or occupies most of the network...
Throughput performance, an important metric for interconnection networks, is often quantified by the aggregate throughput for a set of representative traffic patterns. A number of models have been developed to estimate the aggregate throughput for a given traffic pattern on an interconnection network. Since all of the models predict the same property of interconnection networks, ideally, they should...
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...
