With dynamic networking environment demands from Internet applications and services, network operators are adopting software-based infrastructure and functions. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) promise increased flexibility and agility for their networks. Accordingly, the SDN and NFV performance benchmarking methodologies are under discussion in standardization bodies. SDN and NFV combine. Information Technology (IT) with Communication Technology (CT). As the benchmarking metrics are different between IT and CT, new benchmarking metrics are highly necessary. This paper introduces benchmarking test metrics presented in standardization bodies and proposes SDN and NFV benchmarking metrics for performance and reliability from the perspective of operators. Moreover, benchmarking influence elements are also considered. In conclusion, the paper discusses benchmarking issues to put SDN and NFV into practical uses.

Smart grid is an electricity network to monitor and control all its physical environments of electricity infrastructure in a fully automated way. As the importance of reliable energy utility infrastructure is growing, various security countermeasures to protect power system from security threats have been suggested, whereas there were less consideration on security by design, from the bottom system modeling level. Thus, this paper first highlights the international security standard on network and system management (NSM) requirements suggested from International Electronical Committee (IEC). Then this paper proposes significance of security by design, especially the security object modeling as the most important factor in smart grid environment. In our approach, we propose a common NSM objects for IEC-61850 protocol based substation automation environment. Finally, we present the setup procedures to implement and test NSM objects for IEC 61850-based digital substation in Korean environment.

Current evolved packet core (EPC) systems in LTE/LTE-A networks suffer from the exponentially increased mobile traffic and thus research on new EPC architectures is ongoing. In this paper, we introduce a virtualized EPC (vEPC) system where middlebox functions of the existing EPC systems are implemented in virtualized software modules and the virtualized software modules operate over selected physical service nodes. To minimize the impact of the increased transmission cost in vEPC, the optimal placement of middlebox functions is also investigated. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can achieve lower packet transmission cost than the conventional one.

This paper proposes a dynamic lightpath establishment scheme considering power consumption of multifiber all-optical networks. In all-optical networks, optical amplifiers consume much power to amplify a group of optical signals with different wavelengths. The proposed scheme provides an ingenious routing and wavelength assignment strategy which preferentially uses active optical amplifiers and avoids using inactive optical amplifiers. Furthermore, the proposed scheme avoids blocking of lightpath establishment due to depletion of wavelength resources. Through simulation experiments, we show that the proposed scheme efficiently reduces both blocking probability of lightpath establishment and power consumption of optical networks.

The SSL/TLS, one of the most popular encryption protocol, was developed as a solution of various network security problem while the network traffic has become complex and diverse. But the SSL/TLS traffic has been identified as its protocol name, not its used services, which is required for the effective network traffic management. This paper proposes a new method to generate service signatures automatically from SSL/TLS payload data and to classify network traffic in accordance with their application services. We utilize the certificate publication information field in the certificate exchanging record of SSL/TLS traffic for the service signatures, which occurs when SSL/TLS performs Handshaking before encrypt transmission. We proved the performance and feasibility of the proposed method by experimental result that classify about 95% SSL/TLS traffic with about 90% accuracy for every SSL/TLS services.

Since static pricing models (such as flat-rate or tiered-rate models) can not improve user utility for subscribers and ease network congestion for operators during peak time, Smart Data Pricing (SDP) has become an important incentive for mobile data markets. Paris Metro Pricing (PMP), which is a static pricing mode inspired by the pricing model for the Paris metro system, uses differentiated prices to motivate users to choose different train classes. Before choosing a class, people will consider their expected quality of service (QoS) versus the prices that they are willing to pay. Even though PMP can not guarantee the actual QoS during service time, a balance between users' utilities and operators' revenue is achieved. In this paper, we propose a dynamic PMP scheme, so-called DPMP, which determines the prices and capacities of different classes for the next 24 hours. The prices should optimize the revenues and utilities for operators and subscribers, respectively. Our simulation results show that DPMP can better balance those two factors and determine the appropriate log period for operators.

At the present, the traffic is really in a mess when the number of vehicles is increasing rapidly. As a consequence, finding a parking space is remarkably difficult and expensive. Therefore, solving this problem has attracted the attention of both scientists and companies. Our study also focuses on solving parking problem to relieve the traffic congestion, reduce air pollution and enhance driving effectively. However, unlike other studies, we consider parking problem in the view of IoT. From this perspective, Fog Computing and Roadside Cloud are utilized to find a vacant spot. By utilizing this infrastructures, any parking space at many places can be shared. Then, we analyze and apply the matching theory to solve the parking problem. Accordingly, our proposal not only helps drivers finding an ideal available space but also brings the owners of these places profit. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach is a reliable solution for the finding parking slot.

In network virtualization environment, if a virtual network (VN) needs to be deployed across multiple infrastructure domains, a splitting scheme of the VN should be found. With the goal of minimizing embedding cost, the existing methods solve VN splitting by linear programing. However, since the VN splitting problem is NP-Hard, these methods will take a lot of computing time when the problem scale gets bigger. In this paper, a max-flow/min-cut theory based VN splitting mechanism is proposed. The proposed method first creates a binary tree of the InPs by system clustering method, based on which the multidomain VN splitting problem is decomposed into several two-domain VN splitting problems. Then the method transforms each two-domain splitting problem into a max-flow/min-cut problem, and solves it by the shortest augmenting path algorithm efficiently. Simulations show that the proposed mechanism can improve the efficiency of VN splitting steadily and save the embedding cost.

This Paper presents a telco's perspectives and experiences to design and implement open and flexible architecture for Transport SDN (T-SDN). We believe that this could be realized by adopting open source based SDN controllers because they already have widely accepted and referenced architecture with a rich ecosystem. Moreover, we could have further benefits from open source such as reducing time to deploy and saving cost to develop. Regarding transport domain, however, there are still some challenges for us to adopt open source controllers. That is, which open source is appropriate, how to seamlessly integrate with legacy system, and which features of open source controller are adequate in current environment are things like that. In this paper, we discuss these challenges in depth and give some directions from our Proof-of-Concept (PoC) experiences for developing T-SDN based on OpenDayLight (ODL).

Along with the widespread development of Internet and mobile applications, the demand for more flexible and dynamic networking services increases. It becomes a new challenge for many carriers to deploy a variety of new services by effective provisioning of network resources. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a novel approach to make networks reconfigurable and extensible such that new services can be deployed with existing network devices. By decoupling the controller plane from the data plane in network devices, SDN brings networks programmability of the data plane and centralization of the controller plane. Conventional Operations Support Systems (OSSs) were developed to manage networks in a standard fashion with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or proprietary protocols. SDN provides a new framework in managing SDN-enabled devices. A new issue for carriers is how SDN-enabled networks and devices can be monitored and controlled by current OSSs. This paper focuses on performance management and aims to develop an efficient scheme to collect traffic statistics data via the SDN controller plane. Similar to Bulkstat, an SNMP-based mechanism for periodic collection and transfer of MIB objects, the proposed scheme for bulk traffic statistics collection is developed in the controller plane and provides a northbound interface for upper network management applications. Instead of using SNMP and MIBs, the scheme is implemented by periodically gathering statistics information of flow tables from SDN-enabled switches via the OpenFlow protocol.
