Overestimating the traffic volume leads to an expensive solution, while underestimating it results in a poor Quality of Service (QoS). In this paper, we propose a new approach to solve the network planning problem under stochastic traffic demands, which guarantees the overload probability of an end-to-end traffic demand to be bounded by a pre-determined value. The problem was first formulated as a chance-constrained programming problem, in which the capacity constraints need to be satisfied in probabilistic sense. We then propose two heuristic algorithms, which 1) determines the overload probability on each link so that the end-to-end overload probability of a traffic demanded is guaranteed and 2) solves the routing and capacity allocation problem for given stochastic traffic demands. The experiment results show that the proposed approach can significantly reduce the network costs compared to the peak-load-based approach, while still maintaining the robustness of the solution. This approach can be applied to networks carrying different flows with different QoS requirements.","PeriodicalId":410892,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129860380","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}

Although some case studies have shown that LRU hit rates can be low when compared to Web caching strategies being aware of complete statistics of past requests, proposed alternatives seem too complex to cope with constant update effort of LRU. In this work we start with an evaluation of the hit rates for LRU as compared to statistic-based caching strategies for Zipf distributed popularity of web content, which has been confirmed manifold as the relevant access profile to content on the Internet. We conclude that LRU has more than 10% absolute hit rate deficits not only in some special cases but over the entire relevant parameter range of Zipf law access pattern. We show that a 10% gain over LRU hit rates is already realized by the variant of score-gated LRU, whose mean updating effort is comparable to pure LRU. As another main advantage, score-gated LRU avoids most of the input traffic of a pure LRU strategy, which frequently reloads objects into the cache. Score-gated LRU keeps the cache content stable in case of unchanged popularity and loads new objects only when their score is increasing until it exceeds the score of a cached object.","PeriodicalId":410892,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124410777","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}

Existing systems proved to be inefficient when deploying counter-measures at the target of the attacks. In fact, efficient counteractions should be applied at the networks that contain the sources of the attack. However, the detection of such type of attacks at the source is extremely difficult. In this work, we propose a novel and more efficient methodology to detect DDoS attacks at the source that relies on the inherent periodicity of the traffic generated by DDoS attack sources. Detecting and quantifying the traffic periodic components using multiscaling traffic analysis based on wavelet scalograms allows an efficient detection of DDoS attacks at the source, even when the attacks are performed using encrypted channels or are embedded within licit traffic.","PeriodicalId":410892,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114409537","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 optical network topology used by Slovenian operators is reviewed and the factors that have an impact on the investment in optical access networks are analyzed, including the competition, the regulatory authority and the Slovenian government. In the years before the economic crisis, an accelerated deployment of optical access networks and a consequent increase in the number of household optical connections were observed. The two main Slovenian operators are building a FTTH architecture in the form of point-to-point (P2P) solution, while some public-private partnership projects and one cable television operator have begun to use point-to-multi-point (P2MP) solutions. Although the P2P solution can provide a larger bandwidth per customer than the P2MP, it has already been noted that a mixture of P2P and P2MP solutions will be the right future-proof option, also because it allows multiple operators to be active on a single network. While P2P will serve for the more-demanding users, P2MP will be employed for residential users, with lower requirements, but this will still be in line with the European Digital Agenda.","PeriodicalId":410892,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132988901","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 paper, we study and evaluate the Wi-Fi available rate adaptation mechanisms in vehicular scenarios to understand their behaviour and analyse their performance under different conditions, in both urban and highway scenarios. The performance results show that loss differentiation algorithms (AARF-CD and CARA) perform better in dynamic and dense environments when compared with those without loss differentiation (Minstrel). They provide an efficient recovery strategy, since they are capable to distinguish the cause of frame loss. The results have also shown that rate adaptation mechanisms are more sensitive to the density of nodes when compared with other parameters; distance and velocity are the second and the third parameters with larger impact in rate adaptation.","PeriodicalId":410892,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121406521","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 Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) problem is one of the key issues in traditional Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks, Routing and Spectrum Assignment (RSA) problem has much impact on network performance in EONs. On the other hand, Data-Center (DC) traffic and/or mobile back-haul traffic keep on increasing. To deal with such forthcoming huge capacity of applications, Space Division Multiplexing (SDM) technologies, such as Multi-Core Fiber (MCF) and few-mode fiber, are intensively researched. From network perspective, this paper focuses on Routing, Spectrum and Core Assignment (RSCA) problem for future SDM-EON. Introducing multi-core fibers makes RSA problem more complex because fiber-core dimension is newly expanded. In addition, physical impairment caused by MCF must be taken into account. In this paper, first, the target RSCA problem is divided into the routing and SCA problems, and K-shortest path based pre-computation method is introduced as the routing solution. Next, according to whether MCF has inter-core crosstalk or not, we propose SCA methods with crosstalk awareness and with prioritized area concept, respectively. Finally, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms compared with representative ones.","PeriodicalId":410892,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115619089","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}
