In conventional networks, there was a tight bond between the control plane and the data
plane. The introduction of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) separated these planes, and …

Throughout the last decade, extensive deployment of popular intra-domain routing protocols
such as open shortest path first (OSPF) and intermediate system–intermediate system (IS …

The continuously increasing complexity of communication networks and the increasing
diversity and unpredictability of traffic demand has led to a consensus view that the …

Network softwarization has recently been enabled via the software-defined networking
(SDN) paradigm, which separates the data plane from control plane allowing for a flexible …

In this paper, we propose a pragmatic approach to improve reproducibility of experimental
analyses of traffic engineering (TE) algorithms, whose implementation, evaluation and …

In this article we report on applications and extensions of weighted graph theory in the
design and control of communication networks. We model the communication network as a …

Increasing design complexity for current and future generations of microelectronic
technologies leads to an increased sensitivity to transient bit-flip errors. These errors can …

We compare and evaluate how well-known and novel network-wide objective functions for
Traffic Engineering (TE) algorithms fulfil TE requirements. To compare the objective …

Abstract The aim of Traffic Engineering is to provide routing configurations in networks such
that the used resources are minimized while maintaining a high level of quality of service …

During the past 50 years telecommunication network technology has raced ahead powered
by exponential advances in computer chip and fiber optic technology. The introduction of …
