Among others, it aims at improved support of device-to-device communication, lower cost, lower latency than 4G and lower battery consumption, for better implementation of the Internet of things (IoT). However, the connectivity of IoT devices gives rise to additional security and privacy concerns. Given the associated data proliferation and the integration of third-party applications, the access control management becomes an exceedingly complex task. Thus, a security model is needed. Few years ago, the “softwarization” invasion along with the network “virtualization” have led to a new network control paradigm and paved the way towards a global network operating system. In this paper, we discuss the IoT requirements in terms of security and privacy. Additionally, we propose an IoT software defined security framework.","PeriodicalId":326125,"journal":{"name":"2017 Fourth International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132221829","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}

While we have seen many use-cases and deployments of SDN in data center networks, wide-area networks still heavily rely on legacy routing and traffic engineering technologies. Rapidly increasing traffic demands (mainly due to increasing usage of video streaming and voice over LTE deployments), however, motivate the development of novel routing and more efficient traffic engineering mechanisms. New approaches leveraging an SDN paradigm in wide-area networks promise to mitigate many of today's limitations, inefficiencies, and scalability issues.

With TREX, tenants can define templates that consist of extraction point, fine-grained network traffic filter and a target identifier representing a tenant-operated analysis application. All packets that match on the filter will be extracted in a lightweight fashion at a virtual switch and forwarded to the analysis application in near real time. Therefore, TREX enables analysis and debugging based on proprietary applications that are operated directly by the tenant. Furthermore, original network traffic remains unaffected and migration of extraction points to different physical cloud nodes, which is typical for cloud environments, will not lead to a gap in the extraction.","PeriodicalId":326125,"journal":{"name":"2017 Fourth International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127296225","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}

Service providers are investigating various approaches to reduce operational and management costs, while delivering richer services across their networks. Recently, several centralized power-aware routing heuristic algorithms have been proposed leveraging the centralized control of the Software Defined Networking (SDN) architecture. However, a base solution for benchmarking the performance of these algorithms has not been developed yet. In this paper we propose an implementation of the centralized power-aware routing problem for SDN in GAMS. This implementation facilitates solving the problem using commercial packages and hence serves as a benchmark for accessing the performance of centralized power-aware routing algorithms. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the developed implementation.","PeriodicalId":326125,"journal":{"name":"2017 Fourth International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS)","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126892971","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 proposed SDMEC has been implemented as an extension of the well-known Wireless Software Defined Networking (WSDN) emulator, Mininet-WiFi, to support wireless topologies that mimic real world environment setups. The framework includes a software defined cooperative MEC strategy for managing storage operation. It also provides the support for auto-scaling network storage resource based on the network demand.

These capabilities emerge from the separation of the data plane from the control plane; thus, allowing the network devices to be programmatically managed and controlled. Similarly, the concept of Software Defined Security allows security solutions such as Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems to be dynamically implemented, controlled and managed using programmable interfaces. In this research, the authors propose an experimental software defined security controller based on the Open vSwitch Controller to detect and prevent IP and MAC spoofing attacks on the network. The proposed controller is simulated using Mininet.

VANETs are now proposed to be part of the upcoming Fifth Generation (5G) technology, integrated with Software Defined Networking (SDN), as key enabler of 5G. The technology of fog computing in 5G turned out to be an adequate solution for faster processing in delay sensitive application, such as VANETs, being a hybrid solution between fully centralized and fully distributed networks. In this paper, we propose a three-way integration between VANETs, SDN, and 5G for a resilient VANET security design approach, which strikes a good balance between network, mobility, performance and security features. We show how such an approach can secure VANETs from different types of attacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) targeting either the controllers or the vehicles in the network, and how to trace back the source of the attack. Our evaluation shows the capability of the proposed system to enforce different levels of real-time user-defined security, while maintaining low overhead and minimal configuration.","PeriodicalId":326125,"journal":{"name":"2017 Fourth International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125919533","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 resource provisioning is less automatic and the efficiency decreases. Moreover, virtualization and cloud are changing radically the traffic patterns of the data center. This is mainly due to the communication between servers, because the applications are split in many virtual machines that must communicate. Software Defined Networks (SDNs) are able to divide the control plane from the data plane, which allow higher programmable, automatic and flexible networks. In SDNs, we do not need to program node by node, but by a centralized manner through software that can be implemented independently of the manufacturer or the model (if they are supporting the same communication protocol). SDNs provide a more open network and allow accessing better to certain intelligent functions, which can contribute higher intelligence to the network operating. These features make SDNs ideal to have a system that is able to adapt with the aim of having higher performance. Cognitive networks use the information gathered from the network, such as observing traffic patterns for different network devices or the used protocols, the behavior of the users and servers, and the additional information that can be taken from the wireless networks (user movement, location, etc.), in order to implement a series of procedures. In order to achieve this goal, artificial intelligence and automatic learning will be used over the available information. This will allow improving a specific objective and achieve higher system performance. This speech will show the steps performed in a cooperative project where we designed and developed a network architecture and the communication protocol, that use the cognitive information taken from the data frames, the users and servers behavior, and the traffic patterns (traffic changes, quality of service parameters, state of the frames, etc.) with the aim of improving the multimedia delivery performance. The designed network is able to self adapt in each case. Network devices gather network parameters and patters that are used by a smart network algorithm to evolve behaviors based on the empirical data. The cognitive adaptive software defined network can be implemented in a wide range of multimedia applications.","PeriodicalId":326125,"journal":{"name":"2017 Fourth International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124985609","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}
