Towards Traffic Modelling of Multi-Agent Systems: The Role of Coordination Topology
Davide Lamagna, Albert Cabellos, Alberto Rodriguez-Natal +2
Multi-agent LLM systems are an emerging networked workload whose rapid deployment raises questions about the traffic patterns they generate. Compared to conventional applications,…
Flow Optimization at Inter-Datacenter Networks for Application Run-time Acceleration
Berta Serracanta, Alberto Rodriguez-Natal, Fabio Maino +1
In the present-day, distributed applications are commonly spread across multiple datacenters, reaching out to edge and fog computing locations. The transition away from single data…
Towards Deep Application-Network Integration: Architectures, Progress and Opportunities
Berta Serracanta, Kai Gao, Jordi Ros-Giralt +4
With the rise of a new generation of applications (e.g., virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, etc) demanding stringent performance requirements, the need for net…
A Reflection on the Organic Growth of the Internet Protocol Stack
Jordi Paillisse, Alberto Rodriguez-Natal, Fabio Maino +1
In the last 15 years, the Internet architecture has continued evolving organically, introducing new headers and protocols to the classic TCP/IP stack. More specifically, we have id…
Wide Area Network Autoscaling for Cloud Applications
Berta Serracanta, Jordi Paillisse, Albert Cabellos +4
Modern cloud orchestrators like Kubernetes provide a versatile and robust way to host applications at scale. One of their key features is autoscaling, which automatically adjusts c…
SD-Access: Practical Experiences in Designing and Deploying Software Defined Enterprise Networks
Jordi Paillisse, Marc Portoles, Albert Lopez +7
Enterprise Networks, over the years, have become more and more complex trying to keep up with new requirements that challenge traditional solutions. Just to mention one out of many…
Distributed Access Control with Blockchain
Jordi Paillisse, Jordi Subira, Albert Lopez +4
The specification and enforcement of network-wide policies in a single administrative domain is common in today's networks and considered as already resolved. However, this is not…
IPchain: Securing IP Prefix Allocation and Delegation with Blockchain
Jordi Paillisse, Miquel Ferriol, Eric Garcia +8
We present IPchain, a blockchain to store the allocations and delegations of IP addresses, with the aim of easing the deployment of secure interdomain routing systems. Interdomain…
Securing the Control-plane Channel and Cache of Pull-based ID/LOC Protocols
Paul Almasan, Jordi Paillisse, Alberto Rodriguez-Natal +5
Pull-based ID/LOC split protocols, such as LISP (RFC6830), retrieve mappings from a mapping system to encapsulate and forward packets. This is done by means of a control-plane chan…
SDN for End-Nodes: Scenario Analysis and Architectural Guidelines
Alberto Rodriguez-Natal, Vina Ermagan, Kien Nguyen +4
The advent of SDN has brought a plethora of new architectures and controller designs for many use-cases and scenarios. Existing SDN deployments focus on campus, datacenter and WAN…
Knowledge-Defined Networking
Albert Mestres, Alberto Rodriguez-Natal, Josep Carner +17
The research community has considered in the past the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to control and operate networks. A notable example is the Knowledge Pla…
