Software-defined networking (SDN) abstracts low-level network functionalities to simplify
network management and reduce costs. The OpenFlow protocol implements the SDN …

Networks today rely on middleboxes to provide critical performance, security, and policy
compliance capabilities. Achieving these benefits and ensuring that the traffic is directed …

Software Defined Networks (SDNs) support diverse network policies by offering direct,
network-wide control over how switches handle traffic. Unfortunately, many controller …

In software-defined networks (SDNs), the network controller first formulates abstract network-
wide policies, and then implements them in the forwarding tables of network switches …

Software-defined networking (SDN) is an innovative network architecture that splits the
control and management planes from the data plane. It helps in simplifying network …

Increasingly, smart Network Interface Cards (sNICs) are being used in data centers to
offload networking functions (NFs) from host processors thereby making these processors …

Fine-grained traffic flow records enable many powerful applications, especially in
combination with telemetry systems that supports high coverage, ie, of every link and at all …

In this paper, we propose a self-healing phasor measurement unit (PMU) network that
exploits the features of dynamic and programmable configuration in a software-defined …

Some embodiments provide a novel method for performing a service at a host computer that
executes data compute nodes (DCNs). For a data message, the method identifies a service …

Some embodiments provide a novel method for configuring a set of service one or more
nodes on a host to perform context-rich, attribute-based services on the host computer …
