“…The issue of a generic signaling framework, flexible enough to support virtually every kind of signaling application, has also been addressed by the IETF in [48], and further extended in [7] as NSIS. However, in spite of its generality, the complexity of the framework prevented it from becoming widely used.…”

“…Existing approaches, however, do not apply well to adaptive resource management as they either focus on specific problems (e.g., mechanisms to build a global network view [3]), lack the required functionality (e.g., absence of synchronization support [6]), or are simply too complex to deploy, e.g., [7]. To address these limitations, we propose SigMA, a new signaling approach to support communication between the different entities of our decentralized management and control framework.…”

Abstract-The management of network infrastructures has become increasingly complex over time, which is mainly attributed to the introduction of new functionality to support emerging services and applications. To address this important issue, research efforts in the last few years focused on developing software-defined networking solutions. While initial work proposed centralized architectures, their scalability limitations have led researchers to investigate a distributed control plane. Controller placement algorithms and mechanisms for building a logically centralized network view are some examples of challenges addressed in this context. A critical issue that requires specific attention concerns the communication between distributed entities involved in decision-making processes. To this end, we propose SigMA, a signaling framework that supports communication between the different entities of a decentralized management and control system. We also define the communication primitives and interfaces involved in such a decentralized environment. The benefits of SigMA are illustrated through three realistic network resource management use cases with different communication requirements. Based on simulation, we demonstrate the flexibility and extensibility of our solution in satisfying these requirements, thus effectively supporting advanced decentralized decision-making processes.

“…It provides end-to-end signaling, that allows sending signaling messages towards an explicit destination, and path-coupled signaling, that allows installing states in all the NSIS peers that lie on the path between two signaling peers. In [14] we have shown our implementation of a third routing paradigm, named off-path signaling, that allows sending signaling message to arbitrary sets of peers, totally decoupled from any user data flow. To this aim, we defined topological off-path domains of GIST peers.…”

This paper shows the network solutions proposed and implemented in the framework of the project ARES. The strategic objective of ARES is to create an advanced CDN, accessible through a cloud interface, supporting medical and research systems making a large use of genomic data. The expected achievements consist of identifying suitable management policies of genomic contents in a cloud environment, in terms of efficiency, resiliency, scalability, and QoS in a distributed fashion using a multi-user CDN approach. The experimental architecture envisages the use of the following key elements: a wideband networking infrastructure, a resource virtualization software platform, a distributed service architecture, including suitable computing and storage infrastructure, a distributed software platform able to ingest, validate, and analyze high volumes of data, a software engine executing a sophisticated intelligence for workload distribution and CDN provisioning.

“…The OpenFlow/NetServ integration also adds important features to the OpenFlow architecture, since it can exploit the capabilities of NSIS signaling to discover which part of the network is managed with OF switches and OFCs. This can be done utilizing the newly proposed NSIS extension [6].…”

“…So the NAME can deploys the FIDS+ IDPS service in PU2 and PU3, and instructs the OFC to split the packets flow over several output ports, in order to reach each processing node (time t 5 ). On the basis of reports also from PU2 and PU3, NAME deploys the IDPS service also in the other NetServ boundary nodes, in order to definitely block the attack (time t 6 ). Figure 4 shows the runtime behaviour of the experiment, in particular the packet rate of the ingress (solid) and egress (dotted with marker) interfaces of NetServ boundary nodes.…”
