Software-defined networking (SDN) is an emerging paradigm, which breaks the vertical
integration in traditional networks to provide the flexibility to program the network through …

Abstract Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging networking paradigm that
separates the network control plane from the data forwarding plane with the promise to …

We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of B4, a private WAN connecting
Google's data centers across the planet. B4 has a number of unique characteristics: i) …

We present SWAN, a system that boosts the utilization of inter-datacenter networks by
centrally controlling when and how much traffic each service sends and frequently re …

Low latency analytics on geographically distributed datasets (across datacenters, edge
clusters) is an upcoming and increasingly important challenge. The dominant approach of …

Recently, much attention has been devoted to the question of whether/when traditional
network protocol design, which relies on the application of algorithmic insights by human …

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networks (SDN) enable
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to place Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) to achieve the …

WAN bandwidth remains a constrained resource that is economically infeasible to
substantially overprovision. Hence, it is important to allocate capacity according to service …

We present the Crossfire attack--a powerful attack that degrades and often cuts off network
connections to a variety of selected server targets (eg, servers of an enterprise, a city, a …

Data center networks usually employ the scale-out model to provide high bisection
bandwidth for applications. A large amount of data is required to be transferred frequently …
