Programmable data plane technologies enable the systematic reconfiguration of the low-
level processing steps applied to network packets and are key drivers toward realizing the …

With the growth of network applications such as 5G and artificial intelligence, network
security techniques, ie, the techniques that detect various attacks (eg, well-known denial-of …

Traditionally, the data plane has been designed with fixed functions to forward packets using
a small set of protocols. This closed-design paradigm has limited the capability of the …

Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) are among the most demanding
stateful network functions. Today's network operators are faced with securing 100Gbps …

The emergence of the IoT, cloud systems, data centers, and 5G networks is increasing the
demand for a rapid development of new applications and protocols at all levels of the …

One of the main roles of the Domain Name System (DNS) is to map domain names to IP
addresses. Despite the importance of this function, DNS traffic often passes without being …

Programmable switches are recently used for accelerating data-intensive distributed
applications. Some computational tasks, traditionally performed on servers in data centers …

The ever-increasing botnet presence has enabled attackers to compromise millions of
nodes and launch a plethora of Internet-scale coordinated attacks within a very short period …

Software-defined networks are useful for multiple tasks, including firewalling, telemetry, and
flow analysis. In particular, the P4 language makes it possible to carry out some simple …

Modern cloud networks are a fundamental pillar of data-intensive applications. They provide
