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 …

The networking equipment market is being transformed by the need for greater openness
and flexibility, not only for research purposes but also for in-house innovation by the …

Internet traffic has Zipf-like properties at multiple aggregation levels. These properties
suggest the possibility of offloading most of the traffic from a complex controller (eg, a …

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an active area for network research, with many
organizations exploring the opportunities provided by the decoupling of network control from …

Há algum tempo observa-se o surgimento da necessidade de maior abertura e flexibilidade
dos equipamentos de rede, especialmente com o propósito de pesquisa e inovação. Os …

This paper studies the problem of compressing the forwarding information base (FIB), but
taking a wider perspective. Indeed, FIB compression goes beyond sheer compression, as …

Dynamic packet routing based on fabric awareness information is presented. Networking
nodes in a networking fabric observe environmental properties across the fabric. When …

Os roteadores atuais implementam uma arquitetura composta de uma camada de software
e um hardware proprietários. Este modelo resulta em soluções de alto custo e inviabiliza a …

In this paper, our main objective is to explore how Linux Software Routers (SRs) can deploy
advanced and flexible paradigms for supporting novel control-plane functionalities and …

We describe the design and implementation of a system for performing Virtual Aggregation,
a method for dividing and spreading a forwarding table over multiple forwarding elements, in …
