In order to meet their stringent dependability requirements, most modern packet-switched
communication networks support fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane. While …

Software-defined networking (SDN) is an emerging paradigm that has become increasingly
popular in recent years. The core idea is to separate the control and data planes, allowing …

Nowadays, technology is such an integral part of our lives that the dependency on its
benefits is growing faster than ever. With the arrival of the paradigms of smart cities and the …

Highly dependable communication networks usually rely on some kind of Fast Re-Route
(FRR) mechanism which allows to quickly re-route traffic upon failures, entirely in the data …

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 …

Operators in multi-tenant cloud datacenters require support for diverse and complex end-to-
end policies, such as, reachability, middlebox traversals, isolation, traffic engineering, and …

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a softwarization technology of networks that can
optimize processes and operation costs and bring new values to infrastructures. The issue of …

In networks, availability is of paramount importance. As link failures are disruptive, modern
networks in turn provide Fast ReRoute (FRR) mechanisms to rapidly restore connectivity …

Fast reroute and other forms of immediate failover have long been used to recover from
certain classes of failures without invoking the network control plane. While the set of such …
