Recently many research efforts have been spent on applying Software Defined Networking (SDN) to mobile and wireless networking to make them adapt to the rapid development and popularity of the mobile Internet. SDN offers programmable devices and centralized control which help to realize customizable and adaptive solutions to meet requirements from diversified mobile networks, devices, applications and so forth. This paper focuses on extending SDN paradigm to mobility handling in the Internet which has been little studied, and proposes design, implementation and deployment of a software-defined IP mobility architecture. The paper also demonstrates evaluations and experiments of the proposal based on both the Mininet platform and a cross-domain SDN testbed. Results prove the feasibility, scalability and high adaptability of the proposal.

A Retrospective on Workload Identifiers: From Data Center to Cloud-Native Networks

et al. 2022

As applications move to multiple clouds, the network has become a reactive element to support cloud consumption and application needs. Through each generation of network architectures, identifiers and the use of dynamic locators evolved in different levels of the protocol stack. The identifiers and locators type is defined by the isolation boundary and how the architecture considers semantic overload in the IP address. Each solution is an outcome of incrementalism, resulting in application delivery outgrowing the underlying network. This paper contributes an industrial retrospective of how the schemes and mechanisms for identification and location of network entities have evolved in traditional data centers and how they match cloud-native application requirements. Specifically, there is an evaluation of each application artifact that forced necessary changes in the identifiers and locators. Finally, the common themes are highlighted from observations to determine the investigation areas that may play an essential role in the future of cloud-native networking.
