The rapid advancement of wireless communication is forming a hyper-connected 5G
network in which billions of linked devices generate massive amounts of data. The traffic …

In traditional networks, the static configuration of devices increases the complexity of
network management and limits the development of network functions. Software-Defined …

The massive demand for marine exploitation has promoted the thriving Internet of
Underwater Things (IoUT). The volume, velocity, and variety (3V) of data produced by …

As the fundamental infrastructure for edge–cloud architectures, the inter-datacenter elastic
optical network is used for data analysis and processing. As the demand for applications …

Software-defined networking (SDN) uses a controller to manage the network. Applying SDN
to resist distributed denial-of-service flood (DDoS-F) attacks receives attention. A controller …

The exponential growth of devices and applications in Internet of Things (IoT) networks has
caused control-plane traffic to escalate. Experts have suggested Software-Defined …

This paper investigates the problem of switch migration in software defined networking
(SDN)/network function virtualization (NFV)-based fifth generation (5G) networks in which …

The novelty of the software-defined network (SDN) is to separate the control plane and the
data plane for easier manipulation of the network. The distributed control plane is designed …

As reducing carbon emissions can relieve environmental concerns, networks-supported
renewable power plants are being built more and more. Inevitable network attacks have …

A data center network (DCN) is composed of many servers and switches, and how to
manage flows makes a great impact on its performance. The paper applies the software …
