Switch as a Verifier: Toward Scalable Data Plane Checking via Distributed, On-Device Verification
Qiao Xiang, Ridi Wen, Chenyang Huang +2
Data plane verification (DPV) is important for finding network errors. Current DPV tools employ a centralized architecture, where a server collects the data planes of all devices a…
IVeri: Privacy-Preserving Interdomain Verification
Ning Luo, Qiao Xiang, Timos Antonopoulos +3
In an interdomain network, autonomous systems (ASes) often establish peering agreements, so that one AS (agreement consumer) can influence the routing policies of the other AS (agr…
Carbide: Highly Reliable Networks Through Real-Time Multiple Control Plane Composition
Shenshen Chen, Geng Li, Dennis Duan +7
Achieving highly reliable networks is essential for network operators to ensure proper packet delivery in the event of software errors or hardware failures. Networks must ensure re…
A Comprehensive Study on Load Balancers for VNF chains Horizontal Scaling
Jiefei Ma, Windhya Rankothge, Christian Makaya +3
We present an architectural design and a reference implementation for horizontal scaling of virtual network function chains. Our solution does not require any changes to network fu…
NFVactor: A Resilient NFV System using the Distributed Actor Model
Jingpu Duan, Xiaodong Yi, Shixiong Zhao +3
Resilience functionality, including failure resilience and flow migration, is of pivotal importance in practical network function virtualization (NFV) systems. However, existing fa…
How Better is Distributed SDN? An Analytical Approach
Ziyao Zhang, Liang Ma, Kin K. Leung +3
Distributed software-defined networks (SDN), consisting of multiple inter-connected network domains, each managed by one SDN controller, is an emerging networking architecture that…
Data Modelling for the Evaluation of Virtualized Network Functions Resource Allocation Algorithms
Windhya Rankothge, Frank Le, Alessandra Russo +1
To conduct a more realistic evaluation on Virtualized Network Functions resource allocation algorithms, researches needed data on: (1) potential NFs chains (policies), (2) traffic…
Dynamic Scaling of Virtualized, Distributed Service Chains: A Case Study of IMS
Jingpu Duan, Chuan Wu, Franck Le +2
The emerging paradigm of network function virtualization advocates deploying virtualized network functions (VNF) on standard virtualization platforms for significant cost reduction…
Online Scaling of NFV Service Chains across Geo-distributed Datacenters
Yongzheng Jia, Chuan Wu, Zongpeng Li +2
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is an emerging paradigm that turns hardware-dependent implementation of network functions (i.e., middleboxes) into software modules running on…
Online VNF Scaling in Datacenters
Xiaoke Wang, Chuan Wu, Franck Le +3
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a promising technology that promises to significantly reduce the operational costs of network services by deploying virtualized network fun…
