Nonetheless, it is crucial to take into account the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) when implementing overlay VxLAN technology. This technology introduces additional overhead to network packets, and exceeding the MTU can result in performance degradation and increased processing overhead due to packet fragmentation. The Virtual Tunneling End Point (VTEP) is employed in VxLAN overlay tunneling but does not forward packets that exceed the path MTU, leading to packet loss and significant delays caused by network misconfiguration. This paper thoroughly examines the issues related to MTU size and emphasizes the overhead introduced by overlay technologies like VxLAN. Additionally, it highlights the necessity of implementing MTU discovery features. Simulation results demonstrate that enabling MTU discovery features allows hosts to avoid packet loss while ensuring network stability and adaptability. Conversely, manually adjusting the MTU size may be restricted or blocked by device vendors, especially when data centers are interconnected via third-party networks. By comparing the manual configuration approach with MTU discovery methods, data center administrators can make informed decisions. The simulation results clearly indicate that MTU discovery surpasses manual configuration in terms of throughput, reduces packet loss, and minimizes delays.","PeriodicalId":518932,"journal":{"name":"2024 ASU International Conference in Emerging Technologies for Sustainability and Intelligent Systems (ICETSIS)","volume":"405 17","pages":"1825-1829"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140530021","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 study utilizes the Shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) to manage DER and implement demand response programs (DSP), aiming to optimize economic, technical and environmental problems of SMG. The modeling of renewable energy resources (RES) is a challenge due to its uncertainty, therefore, cumulative distribution function (CDF) is used for predicting the energy sources before its integration with SMG. The DER included in this study consists of the wind and solar energy, battery, micro turbine and the utility. This model is implemented in three different scenarios: a) basic grid operation, b) operation with maximum usage of renewable energy resources, c) operation with maximum usage of RES and DRP. The results obtained show the superiority of proposed SFLA algorithm in terms of avoiding pre-mature convergence which is a common challenge in optimization, and achieving global optimum for the proposed objectives.

The conventional water-to-cement ratio (w/c) concept, established by Abrams in 1918, asserts an inverse relationship between w/c ratio and concrete strength in HPC. However, a critical analysis of experimental data challenges this perspective, revealing that the paste quantity also significantly influences comparable cement strength, introducing complexity to our understanding of HPC and concrete strength dynamics. Furthermore, an exploration of concrete mix models and machine learning algorithms sheds light on variables impacting compressive strength. Surprisingly, blast furnace slag emerges as a predominant contributor, highlighting the significance of water management. Key factors like cement and aggregates play pivotal roles in shaping compressive strength. Notably, the Vote algorithm demonstrates exceptional predictive accuracy with a high correlation coefficient (0.919) and low mean absolute error (4.9166), while RandomForest and AdditiveRegression also exhibit commendable performance, striking a balance between accuracy and efficiency. These insights guide decisions in concrete mix design and machine learning model selection, offering valuable guidance for optimal outcomes across diverse applications in construction.","PeriodicalId":518932,"journal":{"name":"2024 ASU International Conference in Emerging Technologies for Sustainability and Intelligent Systems (ICETSIS)","volume":"192 1","pages":"1584-1588"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140530245","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}
