In comparison with cloud computing, edge computing offers processing at locations closer to
end devices and reduces the user experienced latency. The new recent paradigm of in …

Programmable data planes allow users to define their own data plane algorithms for network
devices including appropriate data plane application programming interfaces (APIs) which …

Traditionally, the data plane has been designed with fixed functions to forward packets using
a small set of protocols. This closed-design paradigm has limited the capability of the …

Network appliances continue to offer novel opportunities to offload processing from
computing nodes directly into the data plane. One popular concern of network operators and …

The proliferation of edge computing brings new challenges due to the complexity of
decentralized edge networks. Software-defined networking (SDN) takes advantage of pro …

Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) of the control plane in Software Defined Networking (SDN) is
achieved by mapping each switch to 3 f+ 1 number of controllers, where f represents the …

In this paper, we i) analyze and classify real-world failures of Kubernetes (the most popular
container orchestration system), ii) develop a framework to perform a fault/error injection …

Supporting byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) in distributed software-defined networks (SDNs)
may lead to increased consensus delay and traffic load since all messages should be …

Centralized Software Defined Networking (SDN) controllers and Network Management
Systems (NMS) introduce the issue of controller as a single-point of failure (SPOF). The …

Abstract Software-Defined Networking (SDN) separate the data plane from the control plane,
where the control is handled by the SDN controller. So, the controllers have full visibility of …
