Delay-sensitive traffic, especially for monitoring and controlling the edge devices, should be transferred and processed in a priority manner even if congestion in the network occurs because of the system resource sharing with data-intensive and delay-tolerant traffic. A local 5G system is promising for achieving delay-sensitive IoT services because it enables the local 5G operator to control the programmable local 5G system and service level by themselves. But it isn’t easy to install novel congestion control protocols to the non-programmable system components other than the local 5G system, such as proprietary IoT devices and wide-area networks operated by network carriers. Our contribution is three-fold: First, we propose a traffic control method for delay-sensitive IoT services installed only in 5G UPF or edge routers in DN without modifying IoT devices or controlling the wide-area network. It controls the latency of delay-sensitive traffic by classifying the delay-sensitive and delay-tolerant traffic, adding delays to, and modifying the receive window size in the packets of the delay-tolerant traffic. Second, we propose an implementation architecture for the programmable Whitebox switches utilizing BPF/XDP functionality. Finally, we evaluate our proposed method. The evaluation result shows that our proposed method keeps the latency of delay-sensitive traffic within the required latency for single and multiple Local 5G locations that share the obscure wide-area network.","PeriodicalId":369247,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 10th International Conference on Cloud Networking (CloudNet)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129325711","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}

How to place Virtualized Network Function (VNF) chains across the network infrastructure to achieve providers’ goals is a relevant research problem. Several emerging aspects, such as possible resource shortage at edge locations and the demand for accelerated infrastructural resources for high-performance deployments, make this problem even more challenging. In such cases, downgrading a service request to an alternative flavour (with less stringent resource requirements and/or fewer offered features) might help increasing the acceptance rate and, to a certain extent, the network service provider’s profit. In this work we formalize the problem of placing network services specified as multi-flavoured VNF chains and present an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) approach for optimally solving it. Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility and potential benefit of the proposed approach, both in online and offline placement scenarios, with an improvement in profit of up to 16% and 18%, respectively, with respect to the case where requests are specified in a single flavour.","PeriodicalId":369247,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 10th International Conference on Cloud Networking (CloudNet)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129890029","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}

By crafting DNS requests involving names that appear once and are unknown to the victim, attackers bypass the DNS caches of intermediary Recursive DNS Servers (Resolvers), hence forwarding the entire attack traffic to the victim. As a countermeasure, machine learning algorithms have been proposed to filter attack traffic on Resolvers.Our proposed schema implements via programmable data plane methods efficient machine learning algorithms that differentiate between legitimate and DDoS attack traffic within cloud infrastructures. Specifically, we leverage on XDP to implement data plane Naive Bayes Classifier inference and effectively mitigate Water Torture attacks within data center Resolvers. DNS requests regarded as invalid by the Naive Bayes Classifier are dropped within the Linux kernel before any resources are allocated to them, while valid ones are forwarded to the user space to be resolved.Our schema was assessed via a proof of concept setup within a virtualized environment, with learning and testing performed via legitimate and malicious DNS data records with statistical properties consistent with datasets widely reported in the literature. Our experiments mainly focused on evaluating the filtering throughput of the proposed mitigation schema given the constraints imposed by XDP. We conclude that our XDP-based Naive Bayes Classifier significantly decreases the volume of attack traffic within the data plane, thus efficiently safeguarding Resolvers.","PeriodicalId":369247,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 10th International Conference on Cloud Networking (CloudNet)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123474532","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}

It has been shown that with enough queries those models can be extracted. This paper presents a new cloning scheme using uncertainty quantification, enabling the adversary to leverage partial model extractions. First, a relatively small number of queries is spent to extract part of the target’s model. Second, for every query directed at the adversary, the uncertainty of the output of the extracted model is computed; when below a given threshold, the adversary will return the output. Otherwise, the query is delegated to the target’s model and its output returned. In this way the adversary is able to monetize knowledge that has successfully been extracted. We propose methods to determine thresholds such that the accuracy of the new scheme is close to the target network’s accuracy. The new scheme has been implemented, and experiments were conducted on the Caltech-256 and indoor datasets using multiple uncertainty quantification methods. The results show that the rate of delegation decreases logarithmically with the initial number of queries spent on extraction. Compared to conventional cloning techniques, the main advantages of the new scheme are that the total costs in terms of queries to the target model can be lower while achieving the same accuracy, and that the accuracy of the new scheme can be arbitrarily close to the target model’s accuracy by selecting a suitable value of the threshold.","PeriodicalId":369247,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 10th International Conference on Cloud Networking (CloudNet)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122189825","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 paper feeds ML algorithms with data piped directly from INT - essentially statistics associated to buffers at network devices’ interfaces - with the objective of estimating services’ metrics. The service running on our testbed is DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) - the most used protocol for video streaming nowadays - which brings great challenges to our investigations since it is capable of automatically adapting the quality of the videos due to oscillations in networks’ conditions. By using well established load patterns from the literature - sinusoid, flashcrowd and a mix of both at the same time - we emulate oscillations in the network, i.e., realistic dynamics at all buffers in the interfaces, which are captured by using INT capabilities. While estimating the quality of video being streamed towards our clients, we observed an NMAE (Normalized Mean Absolute Error) below 10% when Random Forest is used, which is better than current related works.","PeriodicalId":369247,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 10th International Conference on Cloud Networking (CloudNet)","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115422318","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}

Function-as-a-Service appears to be the most natural service model solution to enhance Edge Computing applications’ deployment and responsiveness. Unfortunately, the conventional FaaS model does not fit well in distributed and heterogeneous edge environments, where traffic demands arrive to (and are served by) edge nodes that may get overloaded under certain traffic conditions or where the access points of the network might frequently change, as for mobile applications. This short paper tries to fill this gap by proposing DFaaS, a novel decentralized FaaS-based architecture designed to autonomously balance the traffic load across edge nodes belonging to federated Edge Computing ecosystems. DFaaS implementation relies on an overlay peer-to-peer network and a distributed control plane that takes decisions on load redistribution. Although preliminary, results confirm the feasibility of the approach, showing that the system can transparently redistribute the load across edge nodes when they become overloaded.","PeriodicalId":369247,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 10th International Conference on Cloud Networking (CloudNet)","volume":"17 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123208923","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}

Therefore, this work proposes an Edge Video Analytics architecture for real-time video monitoring systems. Such architecture divides the analysis process into functional and independent modules, being flexible to support analytics or network functions. We developed a proof of concept to validate the proposed architecture, focusing on detecting and recognizing license plate characters in the edge. In this scenario, between the detection and recognition modules, we used Deep Learning to implement a module responsible for discard plates with distorted identification text to reduce network utilization. Conducted experiments demonstrate that the architecture meets its objectives by reducing an average of 25.64% of the network traffic in its frames flow due to a resolution quality control and 56.65% in its license plate flow due to the filtering step proposed.","PeriodicalId":369247,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 10th International Conference on Cloud Networking (CloudNet)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121681473","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 translates in energy savings for the MUs, but creates a joint problem of offloading decision making and allocation of the shared communication and computation resources. In a MEC scenario with multiple MUs, multiple access points and multiple cloudlets the complexity of this joint problem grows rapidly with the number of entities in the network. The complexity increases even further when some MUs have a higher incentive to offload tasks due to a low battery level and are willing to pay in exchange for more resources. Our proposed energy-minimization approach with a flexible maximum offloading time constraint is based on matching theory. A global orchestrator (GO) collects all the system state information and coordinates the offloading preferences of the MUs. A MU can lower the maximum time constraint by a payment. The GO allocates the shared communication and computation resources accordingly to satisfy the time constraint. The computation load of the algorithm at each MU is reduced to a minimum as each MU only has to take a simple offloading decision based on its task properties and payment willingness. In numerical simulations, the proposed matching approach and flexible resource allocation scheme is tested for fast and reliable convergence, even in large networks with hundreds of MUs. Furthermore, the matching algorithm, tested with different resource allocation strategies, shows a significant improvement in terms of energy-efficiency over the considered reference schemes.","PeriodicalId":369247,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 10th International Conference on Cloud Networking (CloudNet)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129311672","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}
