Architectures for the future networks and the next generation Internet: A survey

SUMMARYThe Smart City paradigm has become one of the most important research topics around the globe. Particularly in Europe, it is considered as a solution for the unstoppable increase of high density urban environments and the European Commission has included the Smart City research as one of the key objectives for the FP7 (Seventh Framework Program) and H2020 (Horizon 2020) research initiatives. As a result, a considerable amount of quality research, with particular emphasis on information and communication technologies, has been produced. In this paper, we review the current efforts dedicated in Europe to this research topic. Particular attention is paid in the review to the platforms and infrastructure technologies adopted to introduce the Internet of Things into the city, taking into account the constraints and harshness of urban environments. Furthermore, this paper also considers the efforts in the experimental perspective, which includes the review of existing Smart City testbeds, part of wider European initiatives such as FIRE (Future Internet Research and Experimentation) and FIWARE. Last but not least, the main efforts in providing interoperability between the different experimental facilities are also presented.

“…To suppress control overhead and realize reliable operation even in enough large networks [2], routing protocols relying only on local observables of each router in the network, such as communication delay of data packets that go through each router, attract much attention recently [3][4][5]. Owing to nonrequirement of gathering global information of the whole network, these protocols have been shown to largely reduce communication overhead.…”

Information communication networks are rapidly growing recently. Because of increase of communication overhead, traditional routing protocols using global information of the network, such as topology of the whole network or traffic demands between most of pairs of routers, are facing difficulty in reliable routing. To alleviate this, distributed routing protocols relying only on local observables of the network attract much attention recently. The nonrequirement of global knowledge of the whole network largely reduces communication overhead of these protocols. However, the lack of knowledge can also be a significant drawback of them because they cannot promptly respond to traffic changes that occur on out of their local scopes. It means that network resources cannot be utilized sufficiently. To solve the problem, here, by extending an existing distributed routing protocol called ARAS, we propose a novel routing protocol that utilizes multiple paths in parallel. The protocol adaptively modulates packet allocation ratio to paths based only on local observables of the network. Multipath routing, however, easily give flapping of packet allocation due to competition among multiple routers. We study competition between routers and provide ways to suppress the flapping. We show validity of the proposal using a network simulation where prompt response of packet reallocation is required.

Federation Lifecycle Management Incorporating Coordination of Bio-inspired Self-management Processes

As it has evolved, the Internet has had to support a broadening range of networking technologies, business models and user interaction modes. Researchers and industry practitioners have realised that this trend necessitates a fundamental rethinking of approaches to network and service management. This has spurred significant research efforts towards developing autonomic network management solutions incorporating distributed self-management processes inspired by biological systems. Whilst significant advances have been made, most solutions focus on management of single network domains and the optimisation of specific management or control processes therein. In this paper we argue that a networking infrastructure providing a myriad of loosely coupled services must inherently support federation of network domains and facilitate coordination of the operation of various management processes for mutual benefit. To this end, we outline a framework for federated management that facilitates the coordination of the behaviour of bio-inspired management processes. Using a case study relating to distribution of IPTV content, we describe how Federal Relationship Managers realising our layered model of management federations can communicate to manage service provision across multiple application/storage/network providers. We outline an illustrative example in which storage providers are dynamically added to a federation to accommodate demand spikes, with appropriate content being migrated to those providers servers under control of a bio-inspired replication process.
