We propose a theoretical analysis of a novel source routing scheme called XSR. XSR uses
linear encoding operation to both (1) build the path labels of unicast and multicast data …

Source routing is the routing scheme that arranges the whole path from source to target at
the origin node that may suit the requirements from the upper layer applications' perspective …

Software-defined n etworking (SDN) is a promising technology for future smart grid (SG)
systems, since SGs heavily rely on communication networks. With SDN, communication …

Large-scale networking infrastructures such as service providers deploy complex services to
