The advent of softwarized networks has enabled the deployment of chains of virtual network
and service components on computational resources from the cloud up to the edge, creating …

Traditionally, the networking industry has been dominated by closed and proprietary
hardware and software. Vendors have been controlling the network by hard-coding how …

Abstract Systems and methods provide for segment routing (SR) with fast reroute in a
container network. An SR ingress can receive a packet from a first container destined for a …

Leveraging the performance opportunities offered by programmable hardware, stateless
load-balancing architectures allowing line-rate processing are appealing. Moreover, it has …

Load Distribution and the Role of Programmable Switches James McCauley UC Berkeley and …

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 …

Balancing energy consumption to prolong the life of a dispensed computing network is a
challenging issue for researchers. In multi-hop transmission, most of the sensor node energy …

Quality of Experience (QoE) reflects end users' overall experience and feeling with network
services, but needs support in terms of end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS). Segment routing …

This paper investigates the network load balancing problem in data centers (DCs) where
multiple load balancers (LBs) are deployed, using the multi-agent reinforcement learning …

This paper presents the network load balancing problem, a challenging real-world task for
multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) methods. Conventional heuristic solutions like …
