The open source movement has grown steadily and matured in recent years, and this growth has been mirrored by a rise in open source related research. The objective of this paper is to pause and reflect on the state of the field. We start by conducting a comprehensive literature review of open source research, and organize the resulting 618 peer-reviewed articles into a taxonomy. Elements of this taxonomy are defined and described. We then draw on a number of existing categorization schemes to develop a framework to situate open source research within a wider nomological network. Building on concepts from systems theory, we propose a holistic framework of open source research. This framework incorporates current research, as represented by the taxonomy, identifies gaps and areas of overlap, and charts a path for future work.

“…We have implemented a programmable router prototype together with our proposed DDoS traceback algorithm named the OPERA [15] by introducing new modules to the netfilter [16] in the Linux system. Although the system overhead on high-end routers remains a subject of the future research, we provide the system overhead analysis on low-end routers to show, firstly, the proposed methodology is implementable and is deployable, and, secondly, the proposed methodology does not involve complex computation and hence has a small overhead problem on the low-end routers.…”

Distributed denial-of-service attack is one of the most pressing security problems that the Internet community needs to address. Two major requirements for effective traceback are (i) to quickly and accurately locate potential attackers and (ii) to filter attack packets so that a host can resume the normal service to legitimate clients. Most of the existing IP traceback techniques focus on tracking the location of attackers after-the-fact. In this work, we provide an efficient methodology for locating potential attackers who employ the flood-based attack. We propose a distributed algorithm so that a set of routers can correctly (in a distributed sense) gather statistics in a coordinated fashion and that a victim site can deduce the local traffic intensities of all these participating routers. We prove the correctness of our distributed algorithm, and given the collected statistics, we provide a method for the victim site to locate attackers who sent out dominating flows of packets. The proposed distributed traceback methodology can also complement and leverage on the existing ICMP traceback so that a more efficient and accurate traceback can be obtained. We carry out simulations to illustrate that the proposed methodology can locate the attackers in a short period of time. Moreover, the applications as well as the limitations of the proposed methodology are covered. We believe this work also provides the theoretical foundation on how to correctly and accurately perform distributed measurement and traffic estimation on the Internet.

“…Thus, the network QoS of the service can be satisfied. Multiple virtual networks can run simultaneously over a single physical infrastructure without interfering with each other [3,5,6]. Path virtualization accelerates the packet forwarding process in the network since it can combine multiple channels into a routing path.…”

Information and communication technology (ICT) profoundly impacts on environment because of its large amount of CO2 emissions. In the past years, the research field of "green" and low power consumption networking infrastructures is of great importance for both service/network providers and equipment manufacturers. An emerging technology called cloud computing can increase the utilization and efficiency of hardware equipments. It can potentially reduce the global CO2 emission. In this paper, we propose a virtual network architecture for cloud computing. Our virtual network can provide communication functions for virtual resources in cloud computing. We design an energy aware routing algorithm for our virtual router. We also design an efficient method for setting up the virtual network. The objective is to build a "green" virtual network in cloud computing.
