In our upcoming NSDI 2018 paper, we focus on how to realize high performance NFV service chains at the true speed of the underlying hardware. We solve this challenging problem by exploiting the synergy between available network resources (i.e., programmable switches and network cards) and commodity servers, while eliminating inter-core communication among the service chain components. We … Continue reading “Our upcoming NSDI paper on high performance and ultra efficient NFV service chaining”
In our NOMS 2018 paper, we focus on how to deploy distributed controllers for programmable networks. To solve this challenging problem, we propose an approach that can automatically decide the number of controllers, their locations and control regions, and is guaranteed to find a non-congestion controller deployment plan fulfilling requirements such as reliability and bandwidth. We … Continue reading “Our upcoming NOMS paper on the deployment of distributed controllers in programmable networks”
In our ICC 2018 paper, we focus on how to maintain stable network control services during intermittent network partitioning situations. To solve this challenging problem, we propose a new leader election algorithm that can perform leader election and node clustering in line with tunable optimization objectives related to group stability, size and merging cost. We demonstrate, via … Continue reading “Our upcoming ICC paper on stable network control under intermittent network partitioning situations”
