Programmable data plane technologies enable the systematic reconfiguration of the low-
level processing steps applied to network packets and are key drivers toward realizing the …

Internet of things (IoT) facilitates billions of devices to be enabled with network connectivity
to collect and exchange real-time information for providing intelligent services. Thus, IoT …

We explain the notion of software-defined networking (SDN), whose southbound interface
may be implemented by the OpenFlow protocol. We describe the operation of OpenFlow …

Validating the network paths taken by packets is critical in constructing a secure Internet
architecture. Any feasible solution must both enforce packet forwarding along end-host …

The ongoing network softwarization trend holds the promise to revolutionize network
infrastructures by making them more flexible, reconfigurable, portable, and more adaptive …

Programmable switches allow the packet processing behavior to be applied to transmitted
packets, including the type, sequence, and semantics of processing operations, to be …

The Forwarding Information Base (FIB) of backbone routers has been rapidly growing in
size. An ideal IP lookup algorithm should achieve constant, yet small, IP lookup time and on …

Internet of Things leads to routing table explosion. An inexpensive approach for IP routing
table lookup is required against ever growing size of the Internet. We contribute by a fast and …

Many data center network (DCN) applications require explicit routing path control over the
underlying topologies. This paper introduces XPath, a simple, practical and readily …

Efficient packet classification is a core concern for network services. Traditional multi-field
classification approaches, in both software and ternary content-addressable memory …
