The emerging software defined networking (SDN) paradigm separates the data plane from
the control plane and centralizes network control in an SDN controller. Applications interact …

Paradoxically, with an ever-increasing traffic demand, today transport-network operators
experience a progressive erosion of their margins. The alarms of change are set, and …

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are the specific sort of ad-hoc networks that are
utilized in intelligent transportation systems (ITS). VANETs have become one of the most …

Fiber cut events reduce the capacity of wide-area networks (WANs) by several Tbps. In this
paper, we revive the lost capacity by reconfiguring the wavelengths from cut fibers into …

Abstract Software Defined Network (SDN) has become one of the most preferred solutions
