Software-defined Networking (SDN) marked the beginning of a new era in the field of
networking by decoupling the control and forwarding processes through the OpenFlow …

Programmable data planes allow users to define their own data plane algorithms for network
devices including appropriate data plane application programming interfaces (APIs) which …

Commodity network devices support adding in-band telemetry measurements into data
packets, enabling a wide range of applications, including network troubleshooting …

With the development of software-defined network and programmable data-plane
technology, in-band network telemetry has emerged. In-band network telemetry technology …

Traditionally, the data plane has been designed with fixed functions to forward packets using
a small set of protocols. This closed-design paradigm has limited the capability of the …

Network performance anomalies (NPAs), eg long-tailed latency, bandwidth decline, etc., are
increasingly crucial to cloud providers as applications are getting more sensitive to …

Short-lived surges in traffic can cause periods of high queue utilization, leading to packet
loss and delay. To diagnose and alleviate performance problems, networks need support for …

In-band network telemetry (INT) enriches network management at scale through the
embedding of complete device-internal states into each packet along its forwarding path, yet …
