Software defined networking (SDN) decouples the control plane from the data plane of
forwarding devices. This separation provides several benefits, including the simplification of …

Supporting end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) in existing network architectures is an
ongoing problem. Although researchers from both academia and industry have proposed …

Commodity network devices support adding in-band telemetry measurements into data
packets, enabling a wide range of applications, including network troubleshooting …

When network is undergoing problems such as congestion, scan attack, DDoS attack, etc.,
measurements are much more important than usual. In this case, traffic characteristics …

Network modeling is a key enabler to achieve efficient network operation in future self-
driving Software-Defined Networks. However, we still lack functional network models able to …

Abstract Software Defined Networking simplifies design, monitoring and management of
next generation networks by segregating a legacy network into a centralized control plane …

The emergence of programmable switches offers a new opportunity to revisit ISP-scale
defenses for volumetric DDoS attacks. In theory, these can offer better cost vs. performance …

The Internet has led to the creation of a digital society, where (almost) everything is
connected and is accessible from anywhere. However, despite their widespread adoption …

Network management requires accurate estimates of metrics for traffic engineering (eg,
heavy hitters), anomaly detection (eg, entropy of source addresses), and security (eg, DDoS …

Identifying the" heavy hitter" flows or flows with large traffic volumes in the data plane is
important for several applications eg, flow-size aware routing, DoS detection, and traffic …
