The TCP/IP stack plays an important role in terms of data transmission, traffic control and
address assignment in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), which has seen phenomenal growth in …

One of the most striking properties of the Internet is its flexibility to accommodate features it
was not conceived for. Among the most significant examples, in this survey we consider the …

Abstract Service Function Chaining (SFC) is the problem of deploying various network
service instances over geographically distributed data centers and providing inter …

Content delivery networks (CDNs) have gained immense popularity over the years. Replica
server placement is a key design issue in CDNs. It entails placing replica servers at …

Content-Centric Networking (CCN) is a promising framework for evolving the current
network architecture, advocating ubiquitous in-network caching to enhance content delivery …

Content-centric networking (CCN) is a promising framework to rebuild the Internet's
forwarding substrate around the concept of content. CCN advocates ubiquitous in-network …

In this paper, we address the problem of content placement in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems,
with the objective of maximizing the utilization of peers' uplink bandwidth resources. We …

A commonly employed abstraction for studying the object placement problem for the
purpose of Internet content distribution is that of a distributed replication group. In this work …

This paper provides a comprehensive survey of content placement (CP) algorithms for cloud-
based content delivery networks (CCDNs). CP algorithms are essential for content delivery …

In this paper, a new version of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm suitable for
discrete optimization problems is presented and applied for the solution of the capacitated …
