An overlay network is a virtual network which is constructed on top of a physical computer network. A node in the overlay network is connected through virtual or logical links, where each link corresponds to a path of the links in the underlying physical network. Overlay networks are suitable for sharing heterogeneous resources in distributed environments, However, overlay networks are limited for achieving reliable communication that failure detection in overlay networks is a very important issue. In this paper, we review conditions of conventional failure detection and propose a new approach to failure detection and resilience which can be applied to HRing (Hierarchical Ring) overlay networks. The proposed method consists of the failure detection and the failure resilience phases. Because it utilizes the characteristics of the HRing overlay network for failure detection, it can reduce unnecessary network traffic and provide better scalability and flexibility. We also analyzed and evaluated the performance of the proposed approach through simulations.

IPTV 서비스와 함께 홈 채널 서비스가 제공되면 개인이 프로슈머의 입장에서 콘텐츠를 생산 및 소비할 수 있게 된다. 서비스 오버레이 네트워크에서 개인화된 콘텐츠를 이용하고자 하는 개인 이용자들을 묶어서 하나의 가상 그룹으로 형성하고 개인화된 콘텐츠를 송신, 수신 할 때 서비스 오버레이 네트워크에서는 개인화된 콘텐츠의 송신, 수신을 위해 P2P 를 지원한다. 서비스 오버레이 네트워크에서 지원하는 P2P 는 이용자 환경, 상황, 네트워크 상황 등을 능동적으로 인지하여 개인 혹은 다수에게 개인화된 콘텐츠를 전달 할 수 있어야 한다. 따라서 능동적으로 서비스 오버레이 네트워크가 형성될 때 개인이 콘텐츠를 공유, 소비하기 위해 개인 혹은 다수에게 개인화된 콘텐츠를 전달하기 위한 P2P 멀티캐스트 구조를 제안 한다.

A research for middleware of WSN can provide sensor applications with avoiding tight coupling of hardware, ease of development, and abstract data access. However, previous works have some limitations which should install their own middleware onto the all sensor nodes resulting in computational and communication overhead. In order to address it, we proposed a virtual sensor overlay network, called TinyONet-Lite which introduced virtual sensors to model a virtual counterpart of physical sensors. These virtual sensors dynamically grouped into an overlay network, Slice, which provides middleware services. We implemented TinyONet-Lite on mote class hardware with TinyOS. In accordance with experiments and comparison with existing researches, TinyONet-Lite was proved to show advantages of extensibility, dynamic service composition and reducing overhead.

In this paper, we propose a reversely using the "Man In The Middle Attack" attack technique as a way to introduce network security without changing the physical structure and configuration of the existing network, a Virtual Network Overlay is formed with only a single Ethernet Interface. Implementing In-line mode to protect the network from external attacks, we propose an integrated control method through a micro network security sensor and cloud service. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to implement a logical In-line mode by forming a Virtual Network Overlay with only a single Ethernet Interface, and to implement Network IDS/IPS, Anti-Virus, Network Access Control, Firewall, etc.,. It was possible to perform integrated monitor and control in the service. The proposed system in this paper is helpful for small and medium-sized enterprises that expect high-performance network security at low cost, and can provide a network security environment with safety and reliability in the field of IoT and embedded systems.

NGN(Next Generation Network) is a communication network which can make use of broadband and QoS-enabled transport technologies. One of the main service issues over NGN is a multimedia service, such as IPTV, using a multicast method. And overlay multicast technology is one of the promising solutions instead of traditional multicast technology which has a few problems, and supports flexibility and scalability for multicast services. Also, the main controversial topic in NGN and overlay multicast is QoS. In the present paper, we designed an agent in each receiver's network, and a manager which is in a source network and which manages the whole multicast network. Both of them are communicating with each other and applying resource policies to their multicast network. This mechanism enables overlay multicast to support QoS, focusing on RACF(Resource and Admission Control Functions) in NGN QoS architecture.

In this paper, to manage the efficient control of IP packet flows crossing multi-provider networks such as Internet, we propose a SDN(Software Defined Networking)-based policy controller. The proposed policy controller leverages the visibility of underlying network and manages both virtual links and ports to inter-connect networking elements. The controller is capable of quickly composing multiple on-demand virtual networks and dynamically managing the composed networks, thus it can provide more flexible and optimized overlay networking environment to end-user applications. More specifically, we first look into the proposed structure and features of policy controller. With two kinds of service applications, we then verify the applicability of the proposed controller by evaluating its service composition time.

현재의 네트워크 환경은 급격히 변화하고 있다. 스마트폰의 급속한 보급과 데이터의 대용량화로 인해서 네트워크 트래픽이 급격히 증가하고 있다. 그리고, 소셜 네트워크 서비스, 클라우드 서비스 등 새로운 서비스가 등장하면서, 새로운 서비스에 유연하게 대응할 수 있는 네트워크에 대한 요구도 늘어나고 있다. 네트워크 환경의 이러한 변화에 대처할 수 있는 새로운 네트워크로 스마트 인터넷이 등장하였다. 스마트 인터넷은 네트워크 트래픽 등의 변화에 따라서 신속하게 자원을 할당, 재배치하고, 새로운 서비스가 등장했을 때 이를 잘 처리해 줄 수 있는 것이 특징이다. 본 고에서는 스마트 인터넷을 위한 요소 기술로써, 가상 스위칭, 오버레이 네트워크, 네트워크 기능 가상화, API 기반 네트워크에 관하여 연구 동향을 중심으로 알아본다.

Ubiquitous home refers not only to home but also to logical space, including a wide range of out-home personal devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, laptops, car navigators, and office PCs. There are certain connection barriers among the devices, such as the dynamic IP address, NAT. In a home network, various devices coexist in heterogeneous networks, such as IP, IEEE1394, PLC, Bluetooth, ZigBee, UWB, and IrDA, all of which lack interoperability due to their different physical transmission characteristics and protocols. In ubiquitous home where an unrestricted collaboration of the devices is essential to offer services that meet the users' requirements, free interoperability among the devices must be guaranteed. This paper proposes a networking model for interoperability of the heterogeneous devices in a ubiquitous home based on a virtual overlay network which hides the complicated physical network configurations and heterogeneity of the service protocols.

Recently P2P (Peer-to-Peer) networks and applications have been expanded to various field. However, because the construction of P2P network did not influence a underlying network topology or property, it may be inefficient. Especially, this inefficiency is more serious in MANET because MANET has narrow bandwidth and energy constraint. When we use a proactive routing protocol in MANET, we can know hop counts between two nodes. And, we can construct a P2P overlay network using this hop count information. However, In case of using hop count only, we can avoid a interference path selection problem and a zig-zag problem. We propose a method of improving P2P contents distribution using virtual positions. We calculate virtual positions from hop counts using the trigonometry. This method solves a interference path selection problem and a zig-zag problem. This method also allows a P2P network to influence underlying network topology. We adopt this method to a network which uses a virtual geographic routing, a proactive routing protocol, or a reactive routing protocol. We show that our proposed methods improve P2P contents distribution performance over MANET through a simulation.
