A service network in the future ubiquitous environment can consist of a variety of elements, which include different protocols of the network transport. Interwoking different transport protocols can alleviate such problems occurred in accessing network as poverty of facilities, faults, and contention in a path of particular protocol communication. This paper schemes to improve performance of the network constituted of different protocols for the network transport. Interposing an interwork element, like SDR (Software Defined Radio), in the network can raise availability of transport paths, and then improve transport performance of the overall network Simulation analysis justifies such a scheme and this paper presents simulation results.

SDN(Software Defined Network)는 데이터 부분과 컨트롤 부분을 분리하여 하나의 컨트롤러가 모든 데이터를 담당하는 기술이다. SDN에서 표준 프로토콜 역할을 하는 OpenFlow가 있으며 컨트롤러가 이 OpenFlow 프로토콜을 사용하여 Flow 테이블의 항목을 추가하고 삭제하도록 OpenFlow 스위치를 제어한다. OpneFlow 스위치는 하나 이상의 Flow table을 사용하여 조회하고 채널을 톨해 컨트롤러에 전달한다. 본 논문에서는 Flow Entry 구성도와 Flow가 Flow table에 도달하는 확률, Flow Entry를 분류하는 Vacancy에 대해 설명하였다.

The Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) has been used for a long time in campus and enterprise networks as the most popular network virtualization solution. Due to the benefits and advantages achieved by using VLAN, network operators and administrators have been using it for constructing their networks up until now and have even extended it to manage the networking in a cloud computing system. However, their configuration is a complex, tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone process. Since Software Defined Networking (SDN) features the centralized network management and network programmability, it is a promising solution for handling the aforementioned challenges in VLAN management. In this paper, we first introduce a new architecture for campus and enterprise networks by leveraging SDN and OpenFlow. Next, we have designed and implemented an application for easily managing and flexibly troubleshooting the VLANs in this architecture. This application supports both static VLAN and dynamic VLAN configurations. In addition, we discuss the hybrid-mode operation where the packet processing is involved by both the OpenFlow control plane and the traditional control plane. By deploying a real test-bed prototype, we illustrate how our system works and then evaluate the network latency in dynamic VLAN operation.

In the fifth generation (5G) era, the radio internet protocol capacity is expected to reach 20 Gb/s per sector, and ultralarge content traffic will travel across a faster wireless/wireline access network and packet core network. Moreover, the massive and mission-critical Internet of Things is the main differentiator of 5G services. These types of real-time and large-bandwidth-consuming services require a radio latency of less than 1 ms and an end-to-end latency of less than a few milliseconds. By distributing 5G core nodes closer to cell sites, the backhaul traffic volume and latency can be significantly reduced by having mobile devices download content immediately from a closer content server. In this paper, we propose a novel solution based on software-defined network and network function virtualization technologies in order to achieve agile management of 5G core network functionalities with a proof-of-concept implementation targeted for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics and describe the results of interoperability testing experiences between two core networks.

IT 산업의 발달에 따라 기기간의 네트워크 구조도 단순한 중앙 제어 방식에서 필요에 의해 다양한 형태로 발전해왔다. 이러한 네트워크의 복잡화는 유지 보수의 어려움을 발생시켰고, 이를 완화하기 위해 등장한 것이 소프트웨어 정의 네트워크이다. 이러한 소프트웨어 정의 기법을 활용한 이더넷 장비의 효율성이 입증되자 해당 기법을 센서 네트워크 분야에 적용하려는 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 하지만 이더넷과 센서 네트워크는 주소 체계나 프로토콜 등 통신 및 구성이 상이하기 때문에, 기존의 소프트웨어 정의 네트워크를 단순히 적용하기만 해서는 구현이 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 Internet of Things 분야의 소프트웨어 정의 네트워크 구축에 필요한 요소들과 관련 연구의 동향에 대해 서술하고자 한다.

최근 클라우드 서비스의 발전으로 인해 네트워크 트래픽이 폭발적으로 증가함에 따라 네트워크를 보다 효율적으로 관리하는 방법들에 대한 필요성이 제기되었고 해결책으로 소프트웨어 정의 네트워크(Software-Defined Network: SDN)가 제안되었다. 네트워크 구조가 기존보다 효율적인 SDN으로 변화함에 따라 보안 기술들도 함께 변화하고 있는데 본 논문에서는 보안 기술들 중 SDN을 이용한 네트워크 공격 탐지 기법들을 패킷 분석 기반과 임계값 기반으로 분류하고 보안성과 자원 사용에 대한 효율성 측면에서 분석하였다. 본 논문의 분석 결과를 통해 앞으로의 SDN 기반 네트워크 공격 탐지 기법들의 연구 방향을 제시하고 향후 새로운 SDN 기반 네트워크 공격 탐지 기법 연구와 탐지 시스템 구현에 기틀을 마련한다.

Semantic segmentation of road scene is the key technology of autonomous driving, and the improvement of convolutional neural network architecture promotes the improvement of model segmentation performance. The existing convolutional neural network has the simplification of learning knowledge and the complexity of the model. To address this issue, we proposed a road scene semantic segmentation algorithm based on multi-task collaborative learning. Firstly, a depthwise separable convolution atrous spatial pyramid pooling is proposed to reduce model complexity. Secondly, a collaborative learning framework is proposed involved with saliency detection, and the joint loss function is defined using homoscedastic uncertainty to meet the new learning model. Experiments are conducted on the road and nature scenes datasets. The proposed method achieves 70.94% and 64.90% mIoU on Cityscapes and PASCAL VOC 2012 datasets, respectively. Qualitatively, Compared to methods with excellent performance, the method proposed in this paper has significant advantages in the segmentation of fine targets and boundaries.

Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSN) are usually constrained in energy supply, which makes energy efficiency a key factor to extend the network lifetime. The management of the network topology has been widely used as a mechanism to enhance the lifetime of wireless sensor networks (WSN), and this work presents an alternative to this. Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a well-known technology in data center applications that separates the data and control planes during the network management. This paper proposes a solution based on SDN that optimizes the energy use in MWSN. The network intelligence is placed in a controller that can be accessed through different controller gateways within a MWSN. This network intelligence runs a Topology Control (TC) mechanism to build a backbone of coordinator nodes. Therefore, nodes only need to perform forwarding tasks, they reduce message retransmissions and CPU usage. This results in an improvement of the network lifetime. The performance of the proposed solution is evaluated and compared with a distributed approach using the OMNeT++ simulation framework. Results show that the network lifetime increases when 2 or more controller gateways are used.

To realize futuristic services with agility, the role of the experimental facility (i.e., testbed) based on integrated resources has become important, so that developers can flexibly utilize the dynamic provisioning power of software-defined networking and cloud computing. Following this trend, an OpenFlow-based SDN testbed environment, denoted as OF@TEIN, connects multiple sites with unique SmartX Racks (i.e., virtualization-enabled converged resources). In this paper, in order to automate the multi-point L2 (i.e., Ethernet) inter-connection of OpenFlow islands, we introduce an automated tool to configure the required Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE) tunneling. With the proposed automation tool, the operators can efficiently and quickly manage network inter-connections among multiple OpenFlow sites, while letting developers to control their own traffic flows for service realization experiments.
