Moreover, recent analysis demonstrates that the performance of VNE solutions decreases drastically with large scale substrate networks. This paper proposes a VN migration approach intended to enhance the performance of online VNE in terms of VN acceptance ratio, whose enhancements are more accentuated in large networks. We propose an approach to re-allocate virtual elements considering both, additive and non-additive QoS requirements. We advance the state of the art by proposing a VN migration approach that can be programmed by Infrastructure Providers (InP) to drive migrations systematically. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated through extensive simulations and analysis.","PeriodicalId":334604,"journal":{"name":"2016 12th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116965862","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}

Labelled data, however, are sparsely available. Data sets present in repositories such as CAIDA or PREDICT are mostly missing labels and have IP addresses anonymised. Especially the latter compounds correlating these data sets with third-party information in order to assign labels a posteriori. To address this problem, we propose a scheme to anonymise IP addresses such that later correlation is still possible, without compromising security of either data sponsoring entity. The scheme we propose is based on Crypto-PAn [1] and is able to correlate events using anonymised IP addresses as correlation keys, without restricting choice of the cryptographic secret.","PeriodicalId":334604,"journal":{"name":"2016 12th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117026619","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 much work has been dedicated to the survival of delay-constrained applications, little attention has been paid to enhancing the performance of the post-failure recovery scheme by maintaining the performance for the affected applications. In this paper, we introduce a QoS provisioning framework that overcomes the limitations of post-failure recovery techniques. The framework aims at not only fixing the failed applications, but also providing sufficient QoS guarantees for the hosted applications in case of link/node failure while maximizing the resources utilization. Simulation results of a data center hosting multicast applications prove that the proposed method boosts the recovery scheme to achieves better restoration ratio in a considerably fast execution time, and increases the revenue.","PeriodicalId":334604,"journal":{"name":"2016 12th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129392513","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}

To overcome these issues, this paper proposes link latency monitoring using time-stamped Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) packets, aided by a linear calibration function to reduce errors of measuring switch-controller delays. Time-stamping LLDP packets, which are used to discover the global network topology in SDNs, does not add extra workload to the control plane and the results always reach the controller thus while avoiding measurement failures that might occur in existing approaches. Our linear calibration function can reduce the measurement error to less than 5% of the link latency measured by ping in a network with up to 30 switches and the link latency not less than 1ms.","PeriodicalId":334604,"journal":{"name":"2016 12th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129860885","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}

Using the SamKnows web performance (webget) test, we implemented an extension (simweb) that allows us to measure the similarity of webpages. The simweb test measures against ALEXA top 100 dual-stacked websites from 80 SamKnows probes connected to dual-stacked networks representing 58 different ASes. Using a two months-long dataset we show that 14% of these dual-stacked websites exhibit a dissimilarity in the number of fetched webpage elements, with 94% of them exhibiting a dissimilarity in their size. We show that 6% of these websites announce AAAA entries in the DNS but no content is delivered over IPv6 when an HTTP request is made. We also noticed several cases where not all webpage elements (such as images, javascript and CSS) of a dual-stacked website are available over IPv6. We show that 27% of the dual-stacked websites have some fraction of webpage elements that fail over IPv6, with 9% of the websites having more than 50% webpage elements that fail over IPv6. We perform a causality analysis and also identify sources for these failing elements. We show that 12% of these websites have more than 50% webpage elements that belong to the same origin source and fail over IPv6. Failure rates are largely affected by DNS resolution error on images, javascript and CSS content delivered from both same-origin and cross-origin sources. These failures tend to cripple experience for users behind an IPv6-only network and a quantification of failure cases may help improve IPv6 adoption on the Internet.","PeriodicalId":334604,"journal":{"name":"2016 12th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121109054","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}

Unlike conventional content delivery systems, RTCDs need to deliver processed information to users in real time. This may require the network to handle some of the processing closer to the users to efficiently use the bandwidth consumed by the applications. The combination of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and service chaining is a promising solution to address this challenge. Our work applies a service chaining algorithm to place NFV modules of an RTCD application in a Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI), where virtualized Customer Premise Edges (vCPEs), possessing scarce resources, are employed. We suggest containers to efficiently pack VNFs into vCPEs. Our objective is to maximize the total number of chains that can be serviced in the RTCD application. To optimally chain the NFV modules, a heuristic algorithm is proposed and evaluated. Using simulations, we show that our algorithm with the help of vCPEs can support higher number of users while providing high-level service quality.","PeriodicalId":334604,"journal":{"name":"2016 12th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134192009","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}

Recently, it is being rolled out in data center networks as a means to provide bandwidth guarantees to cloud applications. With increasing deployments of virtual networks (VNs) in commercial-grade networks with commodity hardware, VNs need to tackle failures in the underlying substrate network. In this paper, we study the problem of recovering a batch of VNs affected by a substrate node failure. The combinatorial possibilities of alternate embeddings of the failed virtual nodes and links of the VNs makes the task of finding the most efficient recovery both non-trivial and intractable. Furthermore, any recovery approach ideally should not cause any service disruption for the unaffected parts of the VNs. We take into account these issues to design a recovery approach for maximizing recovery and minimizing the cost of recovery and network disruption. We provide an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) formulation of our recovery scheme. We also propose a fast and scalable heuristic algorithm to tackle the computational complexity of the ILP solution. Evaluation results demonstrate that our heuristic performs close to the optimal solution and outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithm.","PeriodicalId":334604,"journal":{"name":"2016 12th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM)","volume":"178 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123123983","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}
