Low-latency optical switching technology for next-generation edge-cloud computing platforms

We investigated the application of compact and densely integrated silicon photonics (SiP) switches and controlled them using layer 2 labels to achieve low-latency and low-power-consumption data transfer for resource disaggregation and convergence in edge/cloud computing platforms. We utilize virtual LAN identifiers of the standardized Ethernet frame as labels of the packet, which were read by the look-up table (LUT) formed in a field-programmable gate array to control the output destination of the switch. During the label control operation, a delay of 140 ns in the LUT is observed using the software and considering delay in label addition/identification and the off-logic processing delay in transmission/reception, the delay in label addition/identification can be expected to be on the order of microseconds. Three SiP Mach-Zehnder-Interferometer-type switches were monolithically integrated with three inputs and four outputs. The bit error rate (BER) of each switch path was measured, and it was found that the BER was less than 10−8 at all paths.

A Performance Analysis of Security Protocols for Distributed Measurement Systems Based on Internet of Things with Constrained Hardware and Open Source Infrastructures.

The widespread adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in home, industrial, and business environments has made available the deployment of innovative distributed measurement systems (DMS). This paper takes into account constrained hardware and a security-oriented virtual local area network (VLAN) approach that utilizes local message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) brokers, transport layer security (TLS) tunnels for local sensor data, and secure socket layer (SSL) tunnels to transmit TLS-encrypted data to a cloud-based central broker. On the other hand, the recent literature has shown a correlated exponential increase in cyber attacks, mainly devoted to destroying critical infrastructure and creating hazards or retrieving sensitive data about individuals, industrial or business companies, and many other entities. Much progress has been made to develop security protocols and guarantee quality of service (QoS), but they are prone to reducing the network throughput. From a measurement science perspective, lower throughput can lead to a reduced frequency with which the phenomena can be observed, generating, again, misevaluation. This paper does not give a new approach to protect measurement data but tests the network performance of the typically used ones that can run on constrained hardware. This is a more general scenario typical for IoT-based DMS. The proposal takes into account a security-oriented VLAN approach for hardware-constrained solutions. Since it is a worst-case scenario, this permits the generalization of the achieved results. In particular, in the paper, all OpenSSL cipher suites are considered for compatibility with the Mosquitto server. The most used key metrics are evaluated for each cipher suite and QoS level, such as the total ratio, total runtime, average runtime, message time, average bandwidth, and total bandwidth. Numerical and experimental results confirm the proposal's effectiveness in foreseeing the minimum network throughput concerning the selected QoS and security. Operating systems yield diverse performance metric values based on various configurations. The primary objective is identifying algorithms to ensure suitable data transmission and encryption ratios. Another aim is to explore algorithms that ensure wider compatibility with existing infrastructures supporting MQTT technology, facilitating secure connections for geographically dispersed DMS IoT networks, particularly in challenging environments like suburban or rural areas. Additionally, leveraging open firmware on constrained devices compatible with various MQTT protocols enables the customization of the software components, a crucial necessity for DMS.

Comparative Evaluation of VXLAN with Traditional Overlay Network Protocols

This article examines various network virtualization technologies, including Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), as well as overlay network protocols such as VXLAN-EVPN (Ethernet VPN) and VXLAN-LISP (Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol). These protocols play a crucial role in improving the scalability and flexibility of big cloud computing infrastructures. While each of these technologies can be employed to expand a Layer 2 connection across an already established network, they possess unique qualities and applications. The objective is to offer a comprehensive comprehension of these technologies and their suitability in diverse network contexts.VXLAN-EVPN has higher performance in terms of encapsulation speed and reduced packet overhead, rendering it highly suitable for high-speed and large-scale deployments. Conversely, VXLAN-LISP demonstrates superior network latency and interoperability, offering benefits in multi-tenant and geographically distributed networks. VXLAN can be combined with other widely used overlay network protocols, including Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (GENEVE), Stateless Transport Tunneling (STT), and Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE). The objective is to offer a comprehensive comprehension of these technologies and their suitability in diverse network contexts.

A Torpor-based Enhanced Security Model for CSMA/CA Protocol in Wireless Networks

Mobile wireless networks enable the connection of devices to a network with minimal or no infrastructure. This comes with the advantages of ease and cost-effectiveness, thus largely popularizing the network. Notwithstanding these merits, the open physical media, infrastructural-less attributes, and pervasive deployment of wireless networks make the channel of communication (media access) vulnerable to attacks such as traffic analysis, monitoring, and jamming. This study designed a virtual local area network (VLAN) model to circumvent virtual jamming attacks and other intrusions at the Media Access Control (MAC) layer of the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol. A Torpor VLAN (TVLAN) Data Frame Encapsulation and the algorithm for T-VLAN security in CSMA/CA were formulated and presented. A simulation experiment was conducted on the model using OMNeT++ software. The performance metrics used to evaluate the model were packet delivery ratio, network throughput, end-to-end channel delay, and channel load. The simulation results show that the TVLAN defence mechanism did not increase the channel load arbitrarily during TVLAN defence. similarly, the system throughput was shown to be 82% during TVLAN defence. Nevertheless, the network delay of the system during TVLAN defence was significantly high but the channel load was 297 when the TVLAN security mechanism was launched. These results demonstrate the model’s ability to provide a survivability mechanism for critical systems when under attack and add a security layer to the CSMA/CA protocol in wireless networks. Such a remarkable performance is required of a CSMA/CA infrastructure for improving the cybersecurity posture of a wireless network.

Quantifying the Effects of Network Latency for a Teleoperated Robot.

The development of teleoperated devices is a growing area of study since it can improve cost effectiveness, safety, and healthcare accessibility. However, due to the large distances involved in using teleoperated devices, these systems suffer from communication degradation, such as latency or signal loss. Understanding degradation is important to develop and improve the effectiveness of future systems. The objective of this research is to identify how a teleoperated system's behavior is affected by latency and to investigate possible methods to mitigate its effects. In this research, the end-effector position error of a 4-degree-of-freedom (4-DOF) teleultrasound robot was measured and correlated with measured time delay. The tests were conducted on a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) to monitor noticeable changes in position error with different network configurations. In this study, it was verified that the communication channel between master and slave stations was a significant source of delay. In addition, position error had a strong positive correlation with delay time. The WLAN configuration achieved an average of 300 ms of delay and a maximum displacement error of 7.8 mm. The VLAN configuration showed a noticeable improvement with a 40% decrease in average delay time and a 70% decrease in maximum displacement error. The contribution of this work includes quantifying the effects of delay on end-effector position error and the relative performance between different network configurations.

Design an Algorithm for dynamic Slice of SD-WAN Using VLAN

Software-Defined Network (SDN) is one of the most predominant technologies for networking in the existing and next-generation networks. SDN can conFig. , control, protect, and optimize network resources through software. The fundamental benefit of SDN is enabling the application of dynamic management. In addition, the literature shows that partitioning a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) into several logical networks efficiently will optimize its performance. The main aim of paper is to design an algorithm to slice SD-WAN dynamically into several virtual networks according to the server-clients’ correlation using the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). The several virtual networks improve QoS of SD-WAN and reduce its broadcasting domain. The proposed framework consists of two parts. The first part is the management algorithm that finds the best server for each client; then it groups this server with their client in a dedicated logical network. The second part includes creating a VLAN for each logical network in an SD-WAN. The application of the POX controller calculates and maintains the dynamic VLAN, which will be applied by the control plan to slice the topology in the data plan. SD-WAN topology is tested before and after applying VLANs. The results show enhancement in latency by 42.85%, throughput by 4.61%, loss packet by 72% and jitter by 47.86% after applying VLAN. Finally, the greatest gain is reducing the broadcasting ratio by 77.77%. Index Terms— Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), Software-Defined Network (SDN), Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), Quality of Service (QoS), OpenFlow (OF).

The current work presents the first experimental demonstration of real-time Ethernet (ETH) trial services and 4K-Ultra High Definition (UHD) video application transmission over a 2λ Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) analog Fiber-Wireless (FiWi) mmWave X-haul network, supporting dynamic flexible capacity allocation through an integrated silicon photonic Si <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> N <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</sub> Reconfigurable Optical Add Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) and 60 GHz wireless transmission across a 7 m V-band link distance, while controlled by a Software Defined Network (SDN) controller based on Open Daylight. Analog X-haul transport of the radio signals is based on an Intermediate Frequency over Fiber (IFoF) scheme centered at 1.5 GHz using an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) radio-waveform with a bandwidth of 204 MHz, generated by a Field Programmable Gated Array (FPGA)-based RF System-on-Chip (SoC) processor that converts on-the-fly the real-time ETH downlink traffic to analog radio and vice-versa for the uplink. Dynamic allocation of the X-haul traffic capacity is handled through the use of the 802.1Q Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) tag-mechanism, which controls the forwarding operation to the proper DAC and InP EML for optical modulation using Intensity Modulation/Direct Detection (IM/DD) schemes, while the wavelength routing operation is handled by the low-loss four-port Si <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> N <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</sub> ROADM featuring only 2.5 dB fiber-to-fiber losses based on a cascaded MZI-interleaver design on the TriPleX platform, routing the real-time traffic to a second mmWave antenna site.

Performance Analysis of Software-Defined Networks to Mitigate Private VLAN Attacks.

The defence-in-depth (DiD) methodology is a defensive approach usually performed by network administrators to implement secure networks by layering and segmenting them. Typically, segmentation is implemented in the second layer using the standard virtual local area networks (VLANs) or private virtual local area networks (PVLANs). Although defence in depth is usually manageable in small networks, it is not easily scalable to larger environments. Software-defined networks (SDNs) are emerging technologies that can be very helpful when performing network segmentation in such environments. In this work, a corporate networking scenario using PVLANs is emulated in order to carry out a comparative performance analysis on defensive strategies regarding CPU and memory usage, communications delay, packet loss, and power consumption. To do so, a well-known PVLAN attack is executed using simulated attackers located within the corporate network. Then, two mitigation strategies are analysed and compared using the traditional approach involving access control lists (ACLs) and SDNs. The results show the operation of the two mitigation strategies under different network scenarios and demonstrate the better performance of the SDN approach in oversubscribed network designs.

Survey of optimizing dynamic virtual local area network algorithm for software-defined wide area network

Software-defined network (SDN) is one of the most predominant technologies for networking in the existing and next-generation networks. Therefore, this paper is conducted to introduce a survey for researchers who are interested in exploiting the dynamic tunneling technique to optimize software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN). The main purpose of this survey is not only to investigate the related works of dynamic tunneling with SD-WAN but also to classify this related work according to the aim of each research into the practicable categories and present the most dominated employments for tunneling with SD-WAN, specifically virtual local area network (VLAN). The performed classification accompany dynamic tunneling in SDN can be summarized into four categories as following: exploring VLAN in SDN; management of multi VLAN in SDN; recover link failure of SDN; and development of SDN by using VLAN. Finally, the intensive study of the literature in this paper discovers that the dominant path of research falls in the class that covers SDN’s link failure. This class takes full advantage of SD-WANs due to offering more robust networking and restoring most communication failures. In the event of a fault, the controller could respond and recover quickly by switching to a pre-computed backup route.

Virtual Local Area Network Performance Improvement Using Ad Hoc Routing Protocols in a Wireless Network

Wireless Communication has become one of the most popular types of communication networks because of the many services it provides; however, it has experienced several challenges in improving network performance. VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a different approach which enables a network administrator to create a logical network from a physical network. By dividing a large network into smaller networks, VLAN technology improves network efficiency, management, and security. This study includes VLAN for wireless networks with mobile nodes integration. The network protection was improved by separating the connections and grouping them in a way that prevents any party from being able to contact unauthorized stations in another party using VLAN. VLAN demonstrated restricted access to private server data by managing traffic, improving security, and reducing levels of congestion. This paper investigates the virtual local area network in a wireless network with three ad hoc routing protocols in a number of different scenarios, using the Riverbed Modeler simulation, which was used as a simulation program in this study. It was found from the investigation process that adopting VLAN technology could reduce delay and data of the network and considerably lower throughput, which is a major drawback of VLAN. Ad hoc routing algorithms, including AODV (Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector), DSR (Dynamic Source Routing), and OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing) routing protocols, were used to improve the delay and throughput of the network. Routing methods with VLAN were tested across the WLAN to obtain the best throughput gain performance. The findings also revealed that these ad hoc routing protocols improved the Wireless Sensor Network performance as an additional investigation for the improvement of any network’s delay and throughput.

Examining the Performance of Software Defined Virtual Local Area Network

For more than three decades, the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) has been one of the most popular systems virtualization groups of users on both local and corporate networks. Because of the advantages that VLAN provides, network managers and operators have continued to use it in the creation of their networks and have even extended its use to include cloud computing networking. Previous research studies have established a lot of issues associated with VLAN architecture. Typically, it was revealed that it is difficult to set up a complex VLAN, and even it is successful, it leads to computational time-consuming, and prone to error to process majority of complex VLAN. Considering this, the current research examines the performance of “Software Defined- VLAN”.

A Trusted Platform Module-based, Pre-emptive and Dynamic Asset Discovery Tool

This paper presents an original Intelligent and Secure Asset Discovery Tool (ISADT) that uses artificial intelligence and TPM-based technologies to: (i) detect the network assets, and (ii) detect suspicious pattern in the use of the network. The architecture has specifically been designed to discover the assets of medium and large size companies and institutions, such as hospitals, universities, or government buildings. Given the distributed design of the architecture, it can cope with the problem of the isolation of different Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs). This is done by collecting information from all the VLANs and storing it in a central node, which can be accessed by the network administrator, who may consult and visualize the status in any moment, or even by other authorized applications. The collected data is kept in a secure warehouse by the use of a Trusted Platform Module. Moreover, collected data is processed by the use of artificial intelligence in two ways: (i) the traffic of each network is analysed so that suspicious patterns can be detected, and (ii) identified ports and status are analysed to detect anomalous combinations of open ports in a device.
