An open and decentralized marketplace can aid 6G use cases such as inter-provider agreements, where multi-administrative domains can lease or buy resources to meet the needs of consumers. These agreements between multi-administrative domains can be performed using blockchain, increasing trust and transparency for Service Level Agreement (SLA) management, penalty, or billing. In this demonstration, we present the use of the Ethereum smart contract for a use case where the consumer can buy resources from a provider. However, Ethereum suffers from high transaction costs and latency; therefore, we aim to leverage IOTA Tangle to reduce the cost of transactions on the Ethereum blockchain and minimize the latency. In particular, we show the process of domains registered on an Ethereum blockchain network, consumers selecting a service from the list of available services to buy, and finally, transferring the agreed amount after the services are delivered.","PeriodicalId":232521,"journal":{"name":"2022 18th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127491898","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}

Our solution utilizes periodic interference level measurements by the access points (AP) in all possible channels via conducting clear channel assessments. These measurements are sent to and processed by a cloud component with a forecasting module that predicts the state of each applicable channel in the near future. Finally, a channel change decision is sent to each AP if there is a better channel than its operating channel in the near future.We have conducted numerous field trials for a good selection of the various key parameters of the system with both the overall system’s performance and impact over time-sensitive critical applications such as real-time applications in mind. We have also conducted a field trial of our proposed system over a large real-life population of fifty thousand APs and compared its performance against the widely deployed Least Congested Channel Search (LCCS) mechanism. Our results show that not only our mechanism outperforms LCCS in terms of operating channel interference level but achieves this goal with much less number of channel changes yielding a much less disruptive user experience.","PeriodicalId":232521,"journal":{"name":"2022 18th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)","volume":"256 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117347647","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}

This prompted application modularity, leveraging the adoption of the microservices architecture. Meanwhile, fog computing is emerging as a geo-dispersed cloud, bringing services closer to the end-user for localization and improved responsiveness. Transitioning to fog-native applications, i.e. managing microservice workflows over the fog, is a non-trivial challenge. On one hand, engineering workflows require awareness of the dependencies across microservices, as they impact the perceived quality of service. On the other hand, the heterogeneity of capacities, energy prices and supply, introduce challenges that can negate the sought advantages of the fog. This work proposes a novel algorithm based on Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers for intent-based workflow mapping and admission, iADMM. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated analytically and experimentally and compared to a baseline compute-network cost minimization alternative. Evaluation results show that iADMM achieves near optimal decisions in minimizing operational costs without violating workflow intents.","PeriodicalId":232521,"journal":{"name":"2022 18th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115225155","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}

Many of these applications may generate a large amount of data, which needs to be processed within some deadline to be useful. Limited resources present in vehicles may not be sufficient for processing such data. The resources present in Road Side Units (RSUs) can be used for this purpose by running Virtual Machines (VMs) there on behalf of the vehicles. However, RSUs can also become overloaded in a dense vehicular scenario if all vehicles use the services of their nearby RSUs only. Also, use of RSUs may incur a cost. Hence the combined total resources of the RSUs need to be carefully managed to ensure that a large number of VMs complete within their deadline while incurring a lower cost. In this paper, we propose an algorithm called Cost Aware Load Balancing (CALB) algorithm that assigns and executes VMs in different RSUs in the total RSU pool. The proposed algorithm aims to maximize the number of VMs that complete execution within their deadline and also attempts to minimize the overall cost incurred by VMs for using RSUs’ resources. Performance of CALB is compared with several existing algorithms to show that it works better than the existing algorithms with respect to several performance metrics.","PeriodicalId":232521,"journal":{"name":"2022 18th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133219316","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}

Dynamic control actions are performed by a reinforcement learning (RL) agent. Our work includes experimentation and evaluation on a laboratory testbed where we have implemented basic information services on a service mesh supported by the Istio and Kubernetes platforms. We investigate different management objectives that include end-to-end delay bounds on service requests, throughput objectives, and service differentiation. These objectives are mapped onto reward functions that an RL agent learns to optimize, by executing control actions, namely, request routing and request blocking. We compute the control policies not on the testbed, but in a simulator, which speeds up the learning process by orders of magnitude. In our approach, the system model is learned on the testbed; it is then used to instantiate the simulator, which produces near-optimal control policies for various management objectives. The learned policies are then evaluated on the testbed using unseen load patterns.","PeriodicalId":232521,"journal":{"name":"2022 18th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125577839","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 context, we present a scalable Damper-based architecture for Large-scale Deterministic IP Networks (D-LDN) that meets required bounds on end-to-end delay and jitter. This work extends the original LDN [1] architecture, where flows are shaped at ingress gateways and scheduled for transmission at each link using an asynchronous and cyclic opening of gate-controlled queues. To further relax the need for clock synchronization between devices, we use dampers, that consist in jitter regulators, to control the burstiness flows to provide a constant target delay at each hop. We introduce in details how data plane functionalities are implemented at all nodes (gateways and core) and we derive how the end-to-end delay and jitter are calculated. For the control plane, we propose a column generation algorithm to quickly take admission control decisions and maximize the accepted throughput. For a set of flows, it determines acceptance and selects the best shaping and routing policy. Through a proof-of-concept implementation in simulation, we verify that the architecture meets promised guarantees and that the control plane can operate efficiently at large-scale.","PeriodicalId":232521,"journal":{"name":"2022 18th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128783677","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}

Likewise, the ever-faster traffic dynamics will demand network control mechanisms that can operate at short timescales (e.g., sub-minute). In this context, Traffic Engineering (TE) is a key component to efficiently control network traffic according to some performance goals (e.g., minimize network congestion).This paper presents Routing By Backprop (RBB), a novel TE method based on Graph Neural Networks (GNN) and differentiable programming. Thanks to its internal GNN model, RBB builds an end-to-end differentiable function of the target TE problem (MinMaxLoad). This enables fast TE optimization via gradient descent. In our evaluation, we show the potential of RBB to optimize OSPF-based routing (≈25% of improvement with respect to default OSPF configurations). Moreover, we test the potential of RBB as an initializer of computationally-intensive TE solvers. The experimental results show promising prospects for accelerating this type of solvers and achieving efficient online TE optimization.","PeriodicalId":232521,"journal":{"name":"2022 18th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120973569","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}
