“…Packets were minimum-sized (i.e., 64 bytes) and Receive Side Scaling (RSS) was turned on in multi-core setups [56], [57]. All measurements were conducted at 40G for at least 60 seconds [58]. At first the packet rates were measured in a single-core setup; note that the attainable throughput using a single core and PCIe x8 v3 bus speed is 15 Gbps (22 Mpps) with 64-byte packets; multi-core scalability is studied in a separate measurement round.…”

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) offers a new way to operate, manage, and deploy communication networks and to overcome many long-standing problems of legacy networking. However, widespread SDN adoption has not occurred yet due to the lack of a viable incremental deployment path and the relatively immature present state of SDN-capable devices on the market. While continuously evolving software switches may alleviate the operational issues of commercial hardware-based SDN offerings, namely lagging standards-compliance, performance regressions, and poor scaling, they fail to match the cost-efficiency and port density. In this paper, we propose HARMLESS, a new SDN switch design that seamlessly adds SDN capability to legacy network gear, by emulating the OpenFlow switch OS in a separate software switch component. This way, HARMLESS enables a quick and easy leap into SDN, combining the rapid innovation and upgrade cycles of software switches with the port density and cost-efficiency of hardware-based appliances into a fully dataplane-transparent and vendor-neutral solution. HARMLESS incurs an order of magnitude smaller initial expenditure for an SDN deployment than existing turnkey vendor SDN solutions Manuscript

“…The common use benchmarking test methodology for packet devices is described in [18] and considers several measurements of packet forwarding performance of IP routers including throughput, latency, loss rate, back-to-back frames, system recovery and reset. According to above-mentioned RFC, the throughput is defined as the maximum offered traffic load that can be forwarded by the device with no packet loss and latency is defined as average of the packet latency values (min 20) at the determined throughput rate.…”

Virtualization deployment in I-IoT domain is associated with many potential benefits. However, to achieve benefits from virtualization, which is nowadays a well-known technology, it is necessary to verify usability of virtualization platforms in context of I-IoT. In this article, we present a quantitative comparison of two leading open-source hypervisors, XEN and KVM, focusing on throughput and latency, which are key factors from I-IoT point of view. This paper analyzes the methodology for calculating throughput and latency in an computing device that hosts multiple I-IoT subsystems. B Konrad Sienkiewicz

“…This standard adopted the Telecommunication Energy Efficiency Ratio as its metrics. Request for Comments 2544 (see the work of Bradner and McQuaid) presents a platform to compare the performance of a heterogeneous system under unit. The 3 main tests performed by this standard are the throughput, latency, and back‐to‐back frame tests.…”

Energy efficiency in cellular networks has increasingly become important to the cellular network operators due to its significant economic and ecological influence in the forthcoming generation of wireless networks, ie, the fifth-generation (5G) network. To pursue a vision of green communication, this study presents a comprehensive overview and discusses how the key physical layer techniques that will be adopted in the 5G technology can improve energy efficiency to achieve a sustainable wireless network. Among the key 5G technologies discussed are massive multiple-input multiple-output, green heterogeneous networks, green millimeter wave, green 5G device-to-device communication, green machine-to-machine communication, and energy-efficient 5G architecture. The review concludes that the 5G technology will soon fulfill the critical requirements of low-energy network while maintaining services with high performance. Potential research opportunities related to green 5G are also highlighted at the end of the article.
