Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellite networks, such as Starlink, are transforming global network connectivity by bringing Internet access to remote and underserved areas. However, the current coverage performance of LEO service compared with those cellular networks under-explored. In this work, we present a measurement study Starlink in comparison aiming uncover potential for synergistic integration. Through large-scale data collection campaign in-depth analysis, (1) identify characteristics two...
Many computer network applications impose constraints for multiple quality of service (QoS) metrics, e.g., delay, packet loss, bandwidth, and jitter. These QoS cannot be guaranteed by the Internet due to its best-effort model. Overlay networks have been an effective technique at application layer support networking applications. In software-defined overlay networks, (SDN) paradigm is introduced in enable centralized efficient routing traffic thus, enabling better QoS. One main challenges...
As the plethora of Internet Things (IoT) devices gradually make their way into our lives, several Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) have developed IoT gateway platforms (SDKs) that solely connects to respective cloud. Such gateways 1) cumbersome device configuration; 2) inflexible data managements; and 3) support no/little cross-vendor edge computation cloud analytics. We term these commercial SDKs as cloud-centric. In this paper, we study state-of-the-art vendor-locked Gateway solutions...
The general method available for comparison between the Distributed Hash Table (DHT) based structured overlay networks are average latency per successful lookup and percentage of lookups. For a DHT service with retries failed lookups, both as well lookups key to evaluate performance. Although, may be less protocol, failure at high churn rates degrade protocol's performance if its routing efficiency is less. On other hand, just not sufficient measure since an network having higher have good...
Numerous cloud service providers (CSPs) have developed IoT gateways and devices that connect solely to their respective clouds. We term these cloud-centric. In this paper, we propose an alternative, edge-centric approach developing gateways, Edge-Centric Gateways, or ECIoT. ECIoT will: enable sites direct sensor data the CSP of choice for processing storage permit be easily efficiently forwarded multiple CSPs simultaneously, which can simplify functions in multi-vendor systems. Evaluation a...
The inter-data-center backbone networks initially carried bandwidth-intensive traffic which does not have stringent latency service-level-objectives (SLOs). Fair allocation policies were used in such to achieve equitable distribution of bandwidth the flows. However, these started carrying that is significantly tied end-user experience and thus SLOs. But, literature lacks routing algorithms for impose SLOs on its addition achieving fair bandwidth. We, therefore, introduce a concept called...
