Network Virtualization Architecture: Proposal and Initial Prototype

The tussle between reliability and functionality of the Internet is firmly biased on the side of reliability.

We believe that the greatest challenge is not in finding solutions and improvements to the Internet’s many problems, but in how to actually deploy those solutions and re-balance the tussle between reliability and functionality.

Network virtualization provides a promising approach to enable the co-existence of innovation and reliability.

This architecture is motivated from ...

Green and Reliable Software-Defined Industrial Networks

The FGIR calls for reliable, flexible, and green industrial networks to support intelligent manufacturing.

The proposed architecture adopts an all-IP-based flat structure, and can adaptively reconfigure networks according to the dynamic change of product orders.

The crucial technologies can guarantee real-time data transmission, enable plug-and-play, and support wireless access with seamless handover capability.

Experimental results show that our solution can achieve highly reliable and deterministic packet delivery.

With the adaptive configurations in the testbed, SDIN can consume 18 percent-less energy than traditional industrial networks.
