QL-STCT: an intelligent routing convergence method for SDN link failure by Chuanhuang LI, Yangting CHEN, Jingjing TANG, Jiali LOU, Renhua XIE, Chuntao FANG, Weiming WANG, Chao CHEN

“…Aiming at the problem of routing convergence when SDN link failure occurs, a Q-Learning sub-topological convergence technique (QL-STCT) was proposed to realize intelligent route convergence when SDN links fail.Firstly, some nodes were selected in the network as hub nodes and divides the hub domains according to the hub nodes, and the regional features were constructed with the hub domain as the unit.Secondly, the reinforcement learning agent exploration strategy was proposed by using the features to accelerate the convergence of reinforcement learning.Finally, a sub-topology network was constructed through reinforcement learning to plan the alternate path and ensure the performance of the alternate path in the periodic window.Experimental simulation results show that the proposed method effectively improves the convergence speed and performance of the link failure network.…”

Deterministic upper bounds on QoS performance about wireless ad hoc network based on network calculus by LI Qing-hua1, CHEN Zhi-gang1, ZHANG Lian-ming3, ZENG Feng1, LI Xiang1

“…In order to guarantee the QoS for wireless ad hoc network,the QoS deterministic upper bounds need to be ac-curately calculated.The data flow entering the node was regulated by leaky bucket,and the node provided rate-latency service for the flow.The node’s backlog upper bound,the end-to-end upper delay bound and the end-to-end upper delay jitter bound had been derived for wireless ad hoc network based on the existing link throughput model using network calculus theory.For grid topology wireless ad hoc network,all simulated results for different data flows were bounded by theoretical results.These show the QoS performance upper bounds model perform well.…”

Design and analysis of active queue management algorithm based on predictive control by WANG Ping, CHEN Hong, LU Xiao-hui

“…Model predictive control as a novel active queue management（AQM） algorithm was proposed for Internet system with large delay,called MPAQM.Considering the causality of time-delay system,the predicted output was defined.Then,the control requirement was converted to the optimal control objective,and the drop probability was obtained by solving the optimal problem.Furthermore,the delay-independent stability condition of closed-loop system was derived,which gave the guidelines how to select the parameters of MPAQM algorithm to assure the stability and fast convergence of the network system.The performances of MPAQM were evaluated through a series of simulations in NS2 under the single/multiple topology.The simulation results show that the queue length with MPAQM algorithm reaches the desired value with minimal tracking error and lower drop probability.MPAQM algorithm outperforms RED,PI and SPI-RED algorithms in terms of disturbance rejection,stability,and robustness.…”

In-band network telemetry system based on high-performance packet processing architecture VPP by Tian PAN, Xingchen LIN, Jiao ZHANG, Tao HUANG, Yunjie LIU

“…An in-band network telemetry-based system was built based on VPP, a high-performance virtual network forwarding architecture/device, via reorganizing the data plane pipeline processing modules.Moreover, a network-wide telemetry mechanism was further developed via embedding source routing into the probe packet header for specifying the route of probe packets.Finally, a virtual network topology was built with performance evaluation conducted.The evaluation shows that the telemetry system can monitor the network in a high precision of every 0.13 ms, detecting link congestion in real time with minor performance overhead.Given virtual network devices have been widely deployed in data centers, the proposed scheme is expected to improve the reliability of multi-tenancy and network function virtualization in data centers via high-precision, network-wide virtual link telemetry coverage.…”
