Existing surveys of research into software-defined networking (SDN) make only minimal
mention of multicasting. We present a survey of existing multicast routing protocols in …

Abstract The emerging Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm is being adopted by
the telecom industry since it enables flexible network resource allocation, configuration and …

Over the years, switches and network routers have been compromised frequently, and a lot
of vulnerabilities have occurred in network infrastructure. Secure routing (SR) is one of the …

Many multicast services such as live multimedia distribution and real-time event monitoring
require multicast mechanisms that involve network functions (eg, firewall and video …

Usually, a data flow needs to traverse a series of network functions, which is called a service
function chain (SFC), before reaching its destination. The emergence of network function …

Modern datacenter applications widely exhibit multicast communication patterns.
Meanwhile, RDMA is emerging as the de-facto networking architecture to meet the stringent …

The emerging large-scale low earth orbit (LEO) broadband satellite networks manifest great
potentials in distributing videos across the globe via efficient multicast techniques. However …

Live video streaming traffic and related applications have experienced significant growth in
recent years. However, this has been accompanied by some challenging issues, especially …

Although Software-Defined Networking (SDN) enables flexible network resource allocations
for traffic engineering, current literature mostly focuses on unicast communications …

Several organizations have built multiple datacenters connected via dedicated wide area
networks over which large inter-datacenter transfers take place. Since many such transfers …
