An educational information network, is a multimedia network with a centralized architecture for the provision of educational services. The educational services comprise basic network applications (such as multimedia e-mail, fora for debates on educational subjects, access to already existing information), video distribution of multimedia lessons and a custom developed teletraining tool for the ...

This white paper presents concept and solutions for virtualization of networks using Software Defined Networking. Software Defined Networking is an emerging trend in the networking and communication industry and it promises to deliver enormous benefits, from reduced costs to more efficient network operations. It is an architecture that allows network administrators to easily manage and introduc...

In the decades since the ARPANET interconnected four research labs in 1969 [1], computer networking has become a critical infrastructure supporting our information-based society. The transformation brought about by computer networking includes the global public Internet, as well as private and virtual private networks that support businesses, government and academic institutions. This transform...

Due to the explosive growth of data volume by mobile devices and SNS(Social Networking Service), Big Data has recently become one of the important issues in the networking world. Big traffic is generated as Big Data processing steps and multiple regionally distributed data centers are included, and/or data are delivered among clusters for the purpose of storage hierarchy management. Therefore, ...

Optical-packet switching is an attractive technology geared towards integration of data and optical networking. The immense bandwidth provided by optical networking and the capability to switch packets directly at the optical layer are a powerful combination for the Next Generation Internet where scalability, agility, and performance are important considerations. Early optical-packet switching ...

The Internet uses hierarchical networking, for scalability and manageability reasons. However the main ad hoc routing solutions (OLSR [1], AODV [6], DSR [8], TBRPF [7]) only provide flat networking, and generally suffer important scalability issues. This paper therefore introduces a simple mechanism providing dynamic clustering with OLSR, one of the MANET routing solutions, chosen for its easy ...

This memo describes research challenges for Information-Centric Networking. Information-Centric Networking is an approach to evolve the Internet infrastructure to directly support information distribution by introducing uniquely named data as a core Internet principle. Data becomes independent from location, application, storage, and means of transportation, enabling in-network caching and repl...
