“…(7) provides a survey on the PCE architecture. The Dragon project, (8), relied on this architecture to implement multi-domain TE paths. There are several proposals to extend BGP to advertise TE information (9), (10) or to have a combination of overlay architecture and BGP extensions (11).…”

Traditional routing in the Internet is best-effort which makes it challenging for video streaming since no throughput, jitter, delay or loss rate is guaranteed. As different paths have different characteristics, path differentiation such as multipath routing is a promising technique to be used for meeting QoS requirements of media-intensive applications. Using overlay networks different paths are offered which enable more flexibility in QoS and congestion control while the reliability of the connections is enhanced.Software Defined Networking (SDN) is known to be a promising solution to the problems of routing as it provides fine-grained control over packet handling. Relying on SDN, we propose an adaptive multipath provisioning scheme ensuring maximal bandwidth and resiliency of media transfer in overlay networks. The scheme is a time slot-based approach which dynamically finds multipaths. It relies on both active probing and traffic prediction.The experimental results confirm that a more accurate prediction together with more frequent probing lead to fewer number of path re-calculation and also indicate that the proposed scheme enhances the reliability of connections while a more balanced load is achieved in the network compared to the shortest path-based scheme.

Abstract-Network virtualization has been an important research topic for many years but still suffers from the lack of an abstraction level like the one present in virtualization of computing and storage. Our work in progress presented here proposes an architecture for such a network virtualization abstraction. It is deployed as a library, similar to libvirt in computer virtualization, with a unified interface towards the underlying network specific drivers. The architecture will allow management tools to be independent of the underlying technologies. In addition, it will enable programmatic and on-demand creation of virtual networks. A common set of calls is defined to instantiate different virtual networks, using a single node view to provide the user with a suitable abstraction of the network. We describe a prototype of our proposed architecture on top of an OpenFlow-enabled network. We demonstrate its feasibility for creating isolated virtual networks in a programmatic and on demand fashion.

“…Most advanced research networks have developed and deployed advance reservation based network resource provisioning systems for big data transfers to support various application areas, for example, DRAGON, OSCARS, DRAC, AutoBHAN, EnLIGHTened, PHOSPHOROUS, and G-Lambda, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] . They have their own framework for only network resources or for both grid and network services.…”

The most representative research network in Korea, KREONET, has developed DynamicKL, an advance reservation based Network Service Agent (NSA) for user driven virtual circuit services. DynamicKL provides reservation, provisioning, release, termination, and inquiry web services for network resources by using an open standard network service interface (NSI), as well as web services for network resources by using a GUI interface. In addition, it has the RICE interface to support a protection management function per VC for virtual circuits and reservations. In this article, a protection management per VC for provisioned VCs and reservations is addressed in the DynamicKL framework, as a contribution to the VC protection management issue, which results in more manageable and reliable VC services compared to other advance reservation frameworks. An administrator can detect successful or unsuccessful VC protections in the event of a primary link failure and successful or unsuccessful VC retrievals after a primary link repair, by using RICE.
