Terabit elastic optical networking (EON) is foreseen as a viable solution to extend the lifetime of anetwork exploiting the available bandwidth in previously deployed optical fibers. EON is based on bandwidth-variable transponders capable of supporting multiple bit rates and/ or modulation formats according to traffic requirements and node architectures that route arbitrary channel band-widths. Thus, EON increases the…

Mobility-aware QoS assurance in software-defined radio access networks: An analytical study
Software-defined networking (SDN) has gained a tremendous attention in the recent years, both in academia and industry. This revolutionary networking paradigm is an attempt to bring the advances in computer science and software engineering into the information and communications technology (ICT) domain. The aim of these efforts is to pave the way for completely programmable networks and control-data plane separation. Recent studies on…
Customizable Autonomic Network Management: Integrating Autonomic Network Management and Software-Defined Networking
The increased complexity of emerging and future networks and services requires the use of sophisticated but simplified management and control that will minimize the burden of human presence and manual operation. Autonomic network management (ANM), on the one hand, and software definednetworking (SDN), on the other hand, have appeared with the promise to meet these requirements and enhance the efficiency of the…
Rethinking virtual private networks in the software-defined era
Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have seen an unparalleled increasing adoption in the last decade. Although their flexibility as transport technology and their effectiveness for traffic engineering are well recognized, VPNs are difficult to set up and manage, due to the complexity of configurations, to the number of involved protocols, and to the…
Programmable hardware in software defined networking
Summary form only given. Software presents performance difficulties if it is the sole means of allowing programmability in high-speed optical SDN and NFV. Programmable hardware offers an ideal companion for implementing flexible SDN data planes and accelerating NFV functions.
