Asymmetric Extended Route Optimization (AERO)

In this paper, we identify the main challenges and problems related with the management and orchestration of Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) over aerial networks built with Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (SUAVs). Our analysis starts from a reference scenario, where several SUAVs are deployed over a delimited geographic area, and provide a mobile cloud environment that supports the deployment of functions and services using Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) technologies. After analyzing the main challenges to NFV orchestration in this reference scenario from a theoretical perspective, we undertake the study of one specific but relevant aspect following a practical perspective, i.e., the limitations of existing transport-layer solutions to support the dissemination of NFV management and orchestration information in the considered scenario. While in traditional cloud computing environments this traffic is delivered using TCP, our simulation results suggest that using this protocol over an aerial network of SUAVs presents certain limitations. Finally, based on the lessons learned from our practical analysis, the paper outlines different alternatives that could be followed to address these challenges.

Modern enterprise networks must accommodate mobile devices such as cell phones, tablets and laptop computers. When a mobile device moves to a new access network, it often receives a new Internet Protocol (IP) address. This can disrupt communication sessions and create challenges for locating and tracking mobile assets. The enterprise network should therefore provide each mobile device with a stable IP address or prefix that never changes, but this requires a new mobility architecture. Asymmetric Extended Route Optimization (AERO) supports mobility by modeling the enterprise network as a virtual link through a process known as encapsulation. The AERO system tracks mobile devices through control message signaling and an efficient routing system. AERO maintains optimal routes for roaming devices so that performance is maximized and congestion points are avoided. This chapter describes the AERO system for accommodating mobile devices within enterprise networks.
