Abstract-This paper uses Big Data and Machine Learning for the real-time management of Internet scale Qualityof-Service Route Optimisation with an overlay network. Based on the collection of data sampled each 2 minutes over a large number of source-destinations pairs, we show that intercontinental Internet Protocol (IP) paths are far from optimal with respect to Quality of Service (QoS) metrics such as end-to-end round-trip delay. We therefore develop a machine learning based scheme that exploits large scale data collected from communicating node pairs in a multi-hop overlay network that uses IP between the overlay nodes, and selects paths that provide substantially better QoS than IP. Inspired from Cognitive Packet Network protocol, it uses Random Neural Networks with Reinforcement Learning based on the massive data that is collected, to select intermediate overlay hops. The routing scheme is illustrated on a 20-node intercontinental overlay network that collects some 2 × 10 6 measurements per week, and makes scalable distributed routing decisions. Experimental results show that this approach improves QoS significantly and efficiently.

“…Worldwide efforts in active and programmable networking are underway, particularly in Europe (see, e.g., the "Future Active IP Network" project [124] or the ALPINE project [114]). In addition to the network processor market, other efforts are seeking to commercialize one or more aspects of active networking, and active networking inspired approaches such as "packet-marking" [125], [126] are penetrating products.…”

All distributed computing systems face the architectural question of the location (and nature) of programmability in the telecommunications networks, computers, and other peripheral devices comprising them. The perspective of this paper is that network elements should be as programmable as possible, to enable the most flexible distributed computing systems.There has been a persistent confluence among operating systems, programming languages, networking and distributed systems. We demonstrate how these interactions led to what is called "active networking", and in the spirit of "vox audita perit, littera scripta manet" (the spoken word perishes, but the written word remains), include an account of how it was made to happen. Lessons are drawn both from the broader research agenda, and the specific goals pursued in the SwitchWare project. We speculate on likely futures for active networking.

Abstract. Programmable and active networks allow specified classes of users to deploy dynamic network services adapted to data streams requirements. Currently most of researches performed on active networks are conducted in research laboratories. In this paper, we explore the design of IAN 2 an Industrial Autonomic Network Node able to be deployed in industrial context. Performance, dynamic programmability and fault-tolerance issues of software and hardware components have been prospected. First experimental evaluations on local platforms are presented.
