An exponential growth of cloud computing is dramatically changing contemporary network
service manners. A large scope of cloud-based service offerings, X-as-a-Service (XaaS), are …

MAC address spoofing has plagued LAN communication for a long time. Many attacks use it
as a springboard to carry out subsequent attacks. The main reason for this kind of attack is …

Today, link-state routing protocols that compute multiple shortest paths predominate in data
center and campus networks, where routing is performed either in layer three or in layer two …

Software defined networking (SDN) aims to provide simplified network design, operation,
and management using a decoupled control plane. However, its centralized control and …

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) enables communication between IP-speaking
nodes in a local network by reconstructing the hardware (MAC) address associated with the …

In recent years distributed processing frameworks such as Apache Spark have been utilized
for running big data applications. Predicting the application's execution time has been an …

Abstract The Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture decouples the control plane
from the data plane, but it does not explicitly state where the control should be located. This …

This paper presents ARP-P4, a hybrid switch based on a local ARP-Path control plane
written in P4, but maintaining legacy P4 Runtime control plane capabilities. Its main purpose …

This paper describes Path-Moose, a scalable tree-based shortest path bridging protocol.
Both ARP-Path and Path-Moose protocols belong to a new category of bridges that we …

This paper presents a scalability and load balancing study of the All-Path protocols, a family
of distributed switching protocols based on path exploration. ARP-Path is the main protocol …
