Application-centric networking proposes a novel approach to provision connectivity services
in transport networks based on application-specific requirements. By exploiting this …

Application-centric networking is a novel approach to construct transport networks that
allows application-specific requirements to be taken into account through the entire service …

We propose a novel negotiation scheme for an application-driven relaxation of different
requirements in multi-layer networks. Simulative results show that it improves service …

Modern IP/Optical transport networks are seldom jointly operated and optimized, and do not
cater to the usually implicit requirements of applications, which ultimately drive network …

The commoditization of global product distribution arose a growing demand for
communication services that can be seamlessly provided from anywhere in the world …

The aim of this publication is to present research results on the usability of the Software-
Defined Networking concept to control transport networks. For this purpose, an easy-to-use …

In the context of the fifth generation of mobile technology (5G), multiple technologies will
converge into a unified end-to-end system. For this purpose, software defined networking …

We introduce an SDN orchestration architecture to enable the introduction of E2E TE
policies in a multi-domain, multi-layer network scenario. The ABNO is used as reference …

In the last few years customers are willing to use broadband connections to support
concurrent and heterogeneous services. At the same time telecommunication operators …

The Software Defined Network (SDN) is an established network paradigm, architecture and
principles, that attracted significant research effort in recent years. An SDN-enabled …
