AS are allocated an Autonomous System Number (ASN). The ASN, utilized in BGP routing, represents the grouping of Internet Protocol (IP) routing prefixes allotted to a single administrative domain. Classless Interdomain-Routing (CIDR) is used to support hierarchical routing in the Internet backbone. As the Internet has grown, BGP has been updated to tackle challenges, including the growing routing tables, improved load-balancing, BGP-hijacking and security, and AS transit times. One major issue remaining is the BGP convergence delay, which is the time taken for a set of routers to agree on the network topology. Convergence delay has become an issue for large networks due to changing network topologies causing route updates and path failures that cause instability in the network. A network's instability might cause packet loss or delay, loss of connectivity, and a delay in message transmission. In this research, we propose a novel technique named “MultiState-BGP Manager” that controls and manages multi-domain SDN networks and decreases the BGP convergence delay.","PeriodicalId":205731,"journal":{"name":"2022 32nd International Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ITNAC)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126601683","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}

Cognitive Radio (CR) technology is introduced as an emerging solution to alleviate the imbalance between spectrum under-utilization and high spectrum demands. CR enables unlicensed users to opportunistically transmit data through spectrum holes in licensed bands. In the context of smart grids, CR has become a key component to improve communication efficiency and spectrum usage. In particular emergency situations, some nodes are prone to failure, however the network must remain connected to the designated destination. In addition, the generated emergency communication and disaster relief cause high load of traffic that in turn will lead to congestion and affect the network coverage and capacity. In this paper, we introduced an efficient CR-based architecture for Smart Grid networks to enhance capacity coverage and scalability in the disaster and emergency case. The architecture is decentralized and consists of a set of clusters that communicate with each other in a secure way through number of gateways. CRT-based group key management has been used to manage the distribution of keys between gateways. In addition, the asymmetric encryption will assure the confidentiality of transmitted packets.","PeriodicalId":205731,"journal":{"name":"2022 32nd International Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ITNAC)","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133461256","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}

Robust and varied datasets are required to train the ML models to perform this role. The separation of the control plane from the forwarding plane within Software Defined Networks (SDNs) results in differences in network traffic patterns and different potential intrusion vectors when compared to traditional networks. Consequently, SDN specific ML models need to be trained on datasets captured from SDNs, and have the potential to recognise SDN specific attacks in addition to the standard cadre of exploits. When assessing the performance of an ML based IDS, reduction of the incidences of attacks that have been misclassified as normal traffic is of key importance. Therefore, measuring the False Negative Rate (FNR) of a trained model is crucial once high percentiles have been reached across the standard metrics used in ML model assessment. This paper establishes high baseline scores in all key metrics and then focuses on the importance of FNR in the assessment of model performance. In addition, identification of unseen attacks is of paramount importance given the rapid evolution of malicious traffic. A hold out testing strategy is employed to assess each model across a range of unseen attacks. An ensemble of models that compensate for each other's relative weaknesses is proposed to mitigate variability, thus maximising detection of new attacks. The performance of the proposed ensemble is evaluated and demonstrates a clear improvement on the performance of the individual component models.","PeriodicalId":205731,"journal":{"name":"2022 32nd International Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ITNAC)","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117347101","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}

However, the centralised management of IWSNs creates unbalanced energy consumption between battery-powered wireless sensor nodes. This creates a hotspot challenge in Graph Routing. The inability to balance energy consumption with single-objective paths in mesh topologies was revealed in our previous work that used the Covariance-Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) to improve Graph Routing [1]. In this paper, we address this problem by combining the single-objective paths of the Graph Routing algorithm with a pre-set unequal clustering topology. First, this study detects isolated nodes within pre-set unequal clustering and then creates new clusters for these nodes. Second, the objective function of CMA-ES is used to select the best cluster head by considering node centrality between the nodes in the same cluster and the distance between other cluster heads or the gateway. Once the cluster heads are selected, single-objective paths of Graph Routing that are minimum-distance (PODis), maximum residual energy (POEng), and minimum end-to-end transmission time (POE2E) can be effectively evaluated. Simulation experiments reveal that using the single-objective paths of Graph Routing by the topology of pre-set unequal clustering results in more balanced energy consumption.","PeriodicalId":205731,"journal":{"name":"2022 32nd International Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ITNAC)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127316522","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}

At a low cost, farmers can get the same results as with expensive treatments. The vast amounts of data collected by UAVs equipped with the on-board sensors can help improve agricultural production by providing accurate information about the fields and environment.

The increase in data demand, pushed by the popularity of communication services, poses an overwhelming burden on the underlying PLC technology, especially for backhaul links. To confront this issue, edge server deployed at the access network improves data processing and reduces network delays and also helps better provisioning of resources which are crucial for PLC networks. Moreover, data caching at specialized nodes such as edge servers brings forth efficient retrieving, storing and processing of data. In this work, we propose a distributed data caching scenario jointly based on edge server (ES) and edge devices (EDs) that are equipped with caching facility and are communicating via PLC in a remote area. We develop a framework to test the mutual collaboration between ES and EDs for content fetching to minimize the use of cloud resources and relieve the load on possibly congested PLC backhaul links. Results reveal that a collaborative caching would boost effective utilization of low bandwidth PLC links and the shift of most popular contents at user premises is crucial to improve socio-economic growth and digital learning platforms for unconnected part of the world.","PeriodicalId":205731,"journal":{"name":"2022 32nd International Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ITNAC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121114064","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}
