Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) technology brings the unprecedented computing capacity to the edge of mobile network. It provides the cloud and end user swift high-quality services with seamless integration of mobile network and Internet. With powerful capability, virtualized network functions can be allocated to MEC. In this paper, we study QoS guaranteed multicasting routing with Network Function Virtualization (NFV) in MEC. Specifically, data should pass through a service function chain before reaching destinations along a multicast tree with minimal computational cost and meeting QoS requirements. Furthermore, to overcome the problems of traditional IP multicast and software-defined multicasting approaches, we propose an implementable multicast mechanism that delivers data along multicast tree but uses unicast sessions. We finally evaluate the performance of the proposed mechanism based on experimental simulations. The results show that our mechanism outperforms others reported in the literature.

Most of the detection methods against DDoS attacks are based on periodic detection, which leads to high communication overhead, untimely detection, and slow attack response. This paper proposes a passive abnormality detection approach. First, we record the two flow-table characteristics of the regular switches. Then, based on dynamic threshold method and Grubbs outlier test method, we make a determination of abnormal switches. This method reduces the amount of data duplication and regular traffic collection. Moreover, we use Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm to evaluate the performance of the passive anomaly detection method. The experiment results show a better performance than active period DDoS attack detection approaches.
