Fixed and mobile telecom operators, enterprise network operators and cloud providers strive
to face the challenging demands coming from the evolution of IP networks (eg, huge …

With the advent of Software Defined Networks (SDN), Network Function Virtualisation (NFV)
or Service Function Chaining (SFC), operators expect networks to support flexible services …

The purpose of network load balancers is to optimize quality of service to the users of a set
of servers–basically, to improve response times and to reducing computing resources–by …

Network load-balancers generally either do not take the application state into account, or do
so at the cost of a centralized monitoring system. This paper introduces a load-balancer …

Resources and services between the servers in Mobile Augmented Reality Networks
(MARN) are tedious to manage. These networks comprise users possessing Augmented …

Large-scale services are generally hosted on multiple application servers to scale out in
today's data centers. Load balancers distribute users' requests across these servers …

End marker functionality may be provided in mobile networks having mobile user planes
configured with segment routing for IPv6 (SRv6), especially suitable for 5G network …

The Next Generation Network (NGN) architecture was proposed for delivering various
multimedia services with guaranteed quality. For this reason, the elements of the IP …

We develop a Markovian framework for load balancing that combines classical algorithms
such as Power-of-with auto-scaling mechanisms that allow the net service capacity to scale …

In this paper, we present a scalable PAth COntrol (PACO) approach to meet the increasing
demands of fine-grained and explicit paths in Software-Defined Networks. PACO builds …
