Software-defined networking (SDN) has emerged as a new network paradigm that promises
control/data plane separation and centralized network control. While these features simplify …

Programmable wireless environments (PWEs) utilize internetworked intelligent
metasurfaces to transform wireless propagation into a software-controlled resource. In this …

Software-defined networking (SDN) is an architecture for computer networking that provides
a clear separation between network control functions and forwarding operations. The …

In datacenter networks, link and switch failures are a common occurrence. Although most of
these failures do not disconnect the underlying topology, they do cause routing failures …

When monitoring a network, operators rarely have a finegrained and complete view of the
network's state. Instead, today's network monitoring tools generally only measure a single …

Software Defined Networking (in short SDN, which is also an acronym for Software Defined
Network), has emerged as a response to the limitations and complexities of traditional …

To provide high availability and fault-tolerance, SDN control planes should be distributed.
However, distributed control planes are challenging to design and bootstrap, especially if to …

This paper presents SHEAR, a highly available hybrid network architecture which marries
distributed legacy protocols with Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technology. SHEAR is …

By introducing programmability, automated verification, and innovative debugging tools,
Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) are poised to meet the increasingly stringent …
