Steering Traffic Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
When a traffic management system involves many thousands of vehicles using hundreds of streets and highways, it can be difficult or impossible to tell whether the network is flowing smoothly and to predict how modifications to dynamic control parameters will affect the system. For large-scale traffic management problems it is both necessary and difficult to assess the current state of the system and to predict the effects of modifications. In the absence of informed intervention, a system can evolve into a pathological state or process, in which vehicle progress slows or stops completely. We describe an interactive control system whose purpose is to help human controllers steer the evolving state of the network away from a pathology – avoiding the pathology if it has not yet materialized, and disabling it quickly if it has. † This research was supported by NTT Data Communications Systems Corporation and by ARPA/Rome Lab contract #F30602-91-C-0076. ‡ Yoshitaka Kuwata is a Visiting Researcher in EKSL from NTT Data Communications Systems Corporation.

SDN and Optical Flow Steering for Network Function Virtualization
Introduction Middlebox traffic steering, the capability of routing traffic through different sequences of middleboxes, has been a popular application in software-define networks (SDN) [5]. In this work, we focus on network function virtualization (NFV) [2][3], especially on core virtualized network functions that process high-volume traffic, such as session border controllers (SBCs) and serving...
متن کاملTraffic Steering Framework for Mobile-Assisted Resource Management in Heterogeneous Networks
With the expected growth of mobile data traffic it is essential to manage the network resources efficiently. In order to undertake this challenge, we propose a framework for network-centric, mobile-assisted resource management, which facilitates traffic offloading from mobile network to Wi-Fi or open access small cells. A provision of desired quality of experience to the end-user is carried out...
متن کاملAdjustment of mobility parameters for traffic steering in multi-RAT multi-layer wireless networks
Mobile broadband traffic has been increasing in the last years. To cope with such traffic demand, heterogeneous networks are an effective solution characterized by deploying networks with different cell sizes, radio access technologies (RATs) and carrier frequencies. Since the coverage area of these networks (or layers) is partially overlapped, users can be steered to a specific layer in order ...
متن کاملDynamic traffic steering based on fuzzy Q-Learning approach in a multi-RAT multi-layer wireless network
The infrastructure of current cellular networks must evolve to cope with the increasing demand for mobile-broadband services. Heterogeneous networks are an attractive solution for operators to expand network capacity, based on deploying different Radio Access Technologies, cell sizes and carrier frequencies in the same environment. As a result, operators gain flexibility to distribute traffic a...

Funding information EU in the context of the “FP7 ITN CleanSky” project, Grant/Award Number: 607584 Summary Service function chaining promises to ease the introduction of new services in mobile networks by enabling the dynamic composition of virtualized network functions. However, current implementations rely on new tunneling protocols and on network infrastructure changes, which make deploymen...
متن کاملPoster: Flow Inspection Scheduling for Cyber Security on Software-Defined Networks
Software-defined networking (SDN) is an emerging network technology that decouples the control plane from the data plane. Using SDN, a fine-grained flow-level inspection for cyber security can be performed by capturing suspicious packets on the network and steering the captured traffic to a traffic analyzer. This work proposes a flow inspection scheduling for various types of traffic flows on S...
