Due to the dramatically increasing popularity of the services provided over the public Internet, problems with current mechanisms for control and management of the Internet are becoming apparent. In particular, it is increasingly clear that the Internet and other networks built on the Internet protocol suite do not provide sufficient support for the efficient control and management of traffic, ...

Modern network management is foremost a case of precise control: to implement practical traffic engineering and network security policies, a network operator needs to control the exact path traffic takes through a network. While conceptually simple, accomplishing this level of control is surprisingly difficult with traditional network control planes; in the end, the underlying distributed routi...

objective: to systematically identify the various methods of speed management and their effects. methods: a systematic search was performed in science direct, ovid medline, scopus, pubmed and proquest databases from april to june 2015. hand searching and reference of selected articles were used to improve article identification. articles published after 1990 which had reported on efficacy/effec...

Traffic management systems have historically been limited to addressing the control of street signal lights. Algorithmic solutions to this problem have proved to be very restrictive, while expert system solutions have only shown valid results with small signal networks. None of these approaches has addressed the need for management of the overall transportation system of surface streets, inters...

As part of the wider debate over net neutrality, traffic management practices of Internet Service Providers have become an issue of public concern. An increasing number of vendors offer network equipment to implement a variety of traffic management practices using packet classification and packet filtering. The Federal Communications Commission has asked for public input on whether such traffic...

There is significant interest in the network management community about the need to improve existing techniques for clustering multi-variate network traffic flow records so that we can quickly infer underlying traffic patterns. In this paper we investigate the use of clustering techniques to identify interesting traffic patterns in an efficient manner. We develop a framework to deal with mixed ...

The industrial Internet of things (IIoT) has radically modified environments, not only enabling novel applications but also significantly increasing the amount generated network traffic. Nowadays, a major concern is to support network-intensive while ensuring prompt and reliable delivery mission-critical traffic flows concurrently traversing network. To this end, we propose application-aware ma...
