본 논문에서는 차세대 이동통신 수송망에서 트래픽 클래스별 서비스 품질 요구 사항을 고려한 효율적인 대역폭 재할당 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 유선망 트래픽 클래스를 실시간 클래스와 비시실시간 클래스로 구분하여 무선망 계층에서 정의된 서비스 품질 클래스를 유선망 트래픽 클래스로 매핑시킨 후 실시간 트래픽 클래스가 비실시간 트래픽 클래스의 유휴 자원을 동적으로 사용하도록 한다. 제안 기법은 운영자가 지정한 패킷 손실율과 Auto-Regressive(AR) 시계열 모델을 이용하여 주기적으로 비실시간 트래픽 클래스의 향후 필요 대역폭을 예측하며 유휴 대역폭이 발생하는 경우에만 이를 실시간 트래픽 클래스에 동적으로 할당함으로써 비실시간 트래픽 클래스의 패킷 손실율을 보장함과 동시에 시스템의 대역폭 이용율을 향상시킨다. 본 논문에서는 실제 측정된 인터넷 트래픽을 비실시간 트래픽 클래스로 이용하여 제안 기법은 링크 대역폭의 효율을 증가시켜 실시간 트래픽의 수용량을 증가시킴과 동시에 모든 시 구간에서 비실시간 트래픽 클래스에 원하는 패킷 손실율을 보장할 수 있음을 검증하였다.

Software defined network (SDN) can effectively improve the performance of traffic engineering and will be widely used in backbone networks. Therefore, new energy-saving schemes must take SDN into consideration; this action is extremely important owing to the rapidly increasing energy consumption in telecom and Internet service provider (ISP) networks. Meanwhile, the introduction of SDN in current networks must be incremental in most cases, for technical and economic reasons. During this period, operators must manage hybrid networks in which SDN and traditional protocols coexist. In this study, we investigate the energy-efficient traffic engineering problem in hybrid SDN/Internet protocol (IP) networks. First, we formulate the mathematical optimization model considering the SDN/IP hybrid routing mode. The problem is NP-hard; therefore, we propose a fast heuristic algorithm named hybrid energy-aware traffic engineering (HEATE) as a solution. In our proposed HEATE algorithm, the IP routers perform shortest-path routing by using distributed open shortest path first (OSPF) link weight optimization. The SDNs perform multipath routing with traffic-flow splitting managed by the global SDN controller. The HEATE algorithm determines the optimal setting for the OSPF link weight and the splitting ratio of SDNs. Thus, the traffic flow is aggregated onto partial links, and the underutilized links can be turned off to save energy. Based on computer simulation results, we demonstrate that our algorithm achieves a significant improvement in energy efficiency in hybrid SDN/IP networks.

To realize high-speed intrusion detection by accommodating many regular expression (regex)-based signatures and growing network link capacities, we propose the Service TimE-Aware Load-balancing (STEAL) algorithm. This work is motivated from the observation that utilization of a many-core network intrusion detection system (NIDS) is influenced by unfair computational distribution among many-core NIDS nodes. To avoid such unfair computational distribution, STEAL is designed to dynamically distribute a large volume of traffic among many-core NIDS nodes based on packet service time, which is represented by the deep packet time in many-core NIDS nodes. From experiments, we show that compared to the commonly used load-balancing algorithm based on arrival rate, STEAL increases the number of received packets (i.e., decreases the number of dropped packets) in many-core NIDS. Specifically, by integrating an open source NIDS (i.e. Bro) with STEAL, we show that even under attack-dominant traffic and with many signatures, STEAL can rapidly improve the performance of many-core NIDS to realize high-speed intrusion detection.

최근 인터넷 서비스는 빠르게 진화하면서, 데이터의 고속화뿐 아니라 트래픽 소스의 특징에 따른 QoS(Quality of Service)의 보장 요구가 극대화 되어가고 있다. 이에 따라서 인터넷 서비스 기술 또한 급변해가고 있으며, 기존의 네트워크 서비스 기술에 QoS를 보장하는 기술이 개발되거나 또는 새로운 QoS를 보장하는 네트워크 모델이 제시되기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 QoS를 보장하기 위해 IETF(Internet Engineering Task Forc)에서 제시한 DiffServ-aware-MPLS 네트워크를 기존의 네트워크 모델과 비교 분석함으로써, 상대적 우수함을 보이며, 차세대 네트워크를 구성하는 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

The Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is a multi-hop wireless network consisting of mesh routers and clients, where the mesh routers have minimal mobility and form the backbone. The WMN is primarily designed to access outer network to mesh clients through backhaul gateways. As traffic converges on the gateways, traffic hotspots are likely to form in the neighborhood of the gateways. In this paper, we propose Congestion Aware Multi-path Routing (CAMR) protocol to tackle this problem. Upon congestion, CAMR divides the clients under a mesh STA into two groups and returns a different path for each group. The CAMR protocol triggers multi-path routing in such a manner that the packet reordering problem is avoided. Through simulations, we show that CAMR improves the performance of the WMN in terms of throughput, delay and packet drop ratio.

In mobile ad hoc networks, most of on demand routing protocols such as DSR and AODV do not deal with traffic load during the route discovery procedure. To achieve load balancing in networks, many protocols have been proposed. However, existing load balancing schemes do not consider the remaining available buffer size of the interface queue, which still results in buffer overflows by congestion in a certain node which has the least available buffer size in the route. To solve this problem, we propose a load balancing protocol called Dynamic Congestion Aware Routing Protocol (DCAR) which monitors the remaining buffer length of all nodes in routes and excludes a certain congested node during the route discovery procedure. We also propose two buffer threshold values to select an optimal route selection metric between the traffic load and the minimum hop count. Through simulation study, we compare DCAR with other on demand routing protocols and show that the proposed protocol is more efficient when a network is heavily loaded.

Many control schemes have been proposed for flow-level traffic control. However, flow-level traffic control is implemented only in limited areas such as traffic monitoring and traffic control at edge nodes. No clear solution for end-to-end architecture has been proposed. Scalability and the lack of a business model are major problems for deploying end-to-end flow-level control architecture. This paper introduces an end-to-end transport architecture and a scalable control mechanism to support the various flow-level QoS requests from applications.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11e에서 전송 흐름을 고려한 능동적 자원할당 방법을 제안한다. IEEE 802.11e에서는 비디오나 음성 데이터의 QoS를 제공하기 위해 우선순위가 높은 노드에게 정해진 시간동안 연속해서 보낼 수 있도록 TXOP 파라메터 값을 정해놓고 있다. 해당 시간동안 연속해서 데이터를 전송하므로써 채널의 점유를 위한 경쟁을 줄임으로써 충돌의 횟수가 줄어들어 빠른 데이터 전송의 장점은 있지만, 해당노드의 채널 상태가 좋지 못한 경우 전체 네트워크의 전송률은 떨어지고 우선순위는 낮지만 채널 상태가 좋은 노드의 경우 기다리는 시간이 길어지는 문제가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 채널 상태에 따라 TXOP를 조정하여 우선순위는 낮지만 채널 상태가 좋은 노드에게도 점차적으로 할당함으로써 채널을 최대한으로 활용하도록 하였고 자원의 능동적인 할당으로 전송률 향상에 기여하는 알고리듬을 제안하였다.

Recent advancements in broadband wireless communication technologies enable mobile users to receive video streaming services with various smart devices. The long term evolution (LTE) network provides high bandwidth and low latency for several emerging mobile applications. This paper proposes the buffer aware scheduling (BAS) approach to schedule the downlink video traffic in LTE network. The proposed BAS scheme applies the weighting function to heuristically adjust the scheduling priority by considering the buffer status and channel condition of UE so as to reduce the time that UE stays in the connected state without receiving data. Both of 1080P and 2160P resolution video streaming sources were applied for exhaustive simulations to examine the performance of the proposed scheme by comparing to that of the fair bandwidth (FB) and the best channel quality indicator (CQI) schemes. The simulation results indicate that the proposed BAS scheme not only achieves better performance in power saving, streaming delivery time, and throughput than the FB scheme while maintaining the similar performance as the best CQI scheme in light traffic load. Specifically, the proposed scheme reduces streaming delivery time and generates less signaling overhead than the best CQI scheme when the traffic load is heavy.

In the near future packet networks should support applications which can not predict their traffic requirements in advance, but still have tight quality of service requirements, e.g., guaranteed bandwidth, jitter, and packet loss. These dynamic characteristics mean that the sources can be made to modify their data transfer rates according to network conditions. Depending on the customer&; needs, network operator can differentiate incoming connections and handle those in the buffers and the interfaces in different ways. In this paper, dynamic QoS-aware scheduling algorithm is presented and investigated in the single node case. The purpose of the algorithm is in addition to fair resource sharing to different types of traffic classes with different priorities ?to maximize revenue of the service provider. It is derived from the linear type of revenue target function, and closed form globally optimal formula is presented. The method is computationally inexpensive, while still producing maximal revenue. Due to the simplicity of the algorithm, it can operate in the highly nonstationary environments. In addition, it is nonparametric and deterministic in the sense that it uses only the information about the number of users and their traffic classes, not about call density functions or duration distributions. Also, Call Admission Control (CAC) mechanism is used by hypothesis testing.
