Nevertheless, deploying a large-scale MEC infrastructure will require a huge investment that should be minimized by optimizing the resources at edge locations, and to use centralized datacenters when possible. Thus, automated orchestration is essential for implementing mechanisms that deploy applications at the best location and even that relocate them, when necessary, to satisfy the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. In this paper we describe an architecture for this purpose, which we have implemented in an experiment that demonstrates how Open Source MANO (OSM) can automate the relocation of a video processing application that helps drivers to remember the latest traffic sign viewed. Our proposal also includes two new components: the first one maintains the state of the applications when they are deployed at a new location, and the second one allows OSM managing the Open Network Edge Services Software (OpenNESS) edge platform. Finally, we elaborate on open challenges in MEC platforms.","PeriodicalId":158580,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 22nd International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing (HPSR)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123408980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research paper, a modified 2-D mesh NoC architecture is introduced and proposed an effective mapping algorithm, which maps the cores in the modified NoC architecture based on a core efficient region (CER) to enhance the processor performance and reduces the communication energy. The outcomes of the simulation illustrate that the proposed strategy is outperformed comparing with the other mapping techniques in terms of communication energy and performance. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is relevant to both random and distributed core graphs.","PeriodicalId":158580,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 22nd International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing (HPSR)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125084517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the cache filtering effect, this ubiquitous-LRU strategy is inefficient: popular contents that are cached a few hops away from the edge are of little utility. Most alternative proposals adopt unified on-path schemes that rely on popularity statistics or other global state information to improve the performance. In the Internet, it is difficult to imagine different administrative-entities exposing such information to each other, and so we argue that such schemes are not realistic; and secondly, a unified caching scheme across the network ignores the administrative autonomy, which is one of the tenets of the Internet. In this paper we argue for a two-tiered caching scheme that maintains an on-path caching scheme (e.g., Ubiquitous-LRU), yet embraces AS-autonomy by adding within the AS an off-path cooperative-caching and redundancy elimination, to make better use of caches in the edge where they are most valuable. We describe the implementation of our scheme and highlight the design choices to make the system practical. Our evaluation results show that our scheme can reduce cache misses and upstream traffic by up to 15% compared to the state-of-the-art.","PeriodicalId":158580,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 22nd International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing (HPSR)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121812081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system makes use of inter-domain source routing with public key cryptography to establish connections and simple private symmetric encryption in the data path that allows for fully stateless packet transmission.

To this end, Intent-Based networking (IBN) which is already proven to evolve how network management is driven today, can be implemented as a solution to facilitate the management of large ICT supply chains. In this paper, we first present a comparison of the main architectural components of typical IBN systems and, then, we study the key engineering requirements when integrating IBN with ICT supply chain network systems while considering AI methods. We also propose a general architecture design that enables intent translation of ICT supply chain specifications into lower level policies, to finally show an example of how the access control is performed in a modeled ICT supply chain system.","PeriodicalId":158580,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 22nd International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing (HPSR)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131891235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following the principles of zero-trust, we develop an infrastructure using the isolation provided by a microservice architecture, to enforce owner policy. We show that our infrastructure is resilient to the set of attacks considered in our security model. We implement a simple, yet realistic, workflow with our infrastructure in a publicly available proof of concept. We then verify that the specified policy is correctly enforced by testing the deployment for policy violations, and estimate the overhead cost of authorization.","PeriodicalId":158580,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 22nd International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing (HPSR)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116672129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different loss discrimination algorithms have been proposed to tackle this issue but they are not efficient for 4G networks since they do not consider the impact of various link layer mechanisms such as adaptive modulation and coding and retransmission techniques on congestion in LTE Radio Access Networks (RANs). We propose MELD (MEC-based Edge Loss Discrimination), a novel server-side loss discrimination mechanism that leverages recent advancements in Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) services to discriminate packet losses based on real-time RAN statistics. Our approach collects the relevant radio information via MEC’s Radio Network Information Service and uses it to correctly distinguish random losses from congestion losses. Our experimental study made with the QUIC transport protocol shows over 80% higher goodput when MELD is used with NewReno and 8% higher goodput when used with Cubic.","PeriodicalId":158580,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 22nd International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing (HPSR)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117112697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
