“…Indeed, [233] proposes an architecture that utilizes MPTCP in SDN-based ISP networks to provide QoS/QoE-guaranteed services to DASH clients, while an adaptive QoS/QoE differentiation based on current network feedback using MPTCP over Optical Burst Switching (OBS) in software-defined datacenters is presented by [234]. Faster download speed and improved QoE are reported by [235], where SDN is used to add or remove MPTCP paths to reduce the large number of out-of-order packets which may cause reduced performance and degrade the end-users' QoE. Wu et al [236] propose a quAlity-Driven MultIpath TCP (ADMIT) approach that can achieve high quality mobile-based video streaming services with MPCTP in heterogeneous wireless networks.…”

The highly demanding Over-The-Top (OTT) multimedia applications pose increased challenges to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for assuring a reasonable Quality of Experience (QoE) to their customers due to lack of flexibility, agility and scalability in traditional networks. The future networks are shifting towards the cloudification of the network resources via Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV). This will equip ISPs with cutting-edge technologies to provide service customization during service delivery and offer QoE which meets customers' needs via intelligent QoE control and management approaches. Towards this end, we provide in this paper a tutorial and a comprehensive survey of QoE management solutions in current and future networks. We start with a highlevel description of QoE management for multimedia services, which integrates QoE modelling, monitoring, and optimization. This followed by a discussion of HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) solutions as the dominant technique for streaming videos over the best-effort Internet. We then summarize the key elements in SDN/NFV along with an overview of ongoing research projects, standardization activities and use cases related to SDN, NFV, and other emerging applications. We provide a survey of the state-of-the-art of QoE management techniques categorized into three different groups: a) QoE-aware/driven strategies using SDN and/or NFV; b) QoE-aware/driven approaches for adaptive streaming over emerging architectures such as multi-access edge computing, cloud/fog computing, and information-centric networking; and c) extended QoE management approaches in new domains such as immersive augmented and virtual reality, mulsemedia and video gaming applications. Based on the review, we present a list of identified future QoE management challenges regarding emerging multimedia applications, network management and orchestration, network slicing and collaborative service management in softwarized networks. Finally, we provide a discussion on future research directions with a focus on emerging research areas in QoE management, such as QoEoriented business models, QoE-based big data strategies, and scalability issues in QoE optimization.

“…In [23], an SDN architecture in datacenters is presented to improve throughput of large flows by initiating new MPTCP subflows. In [24], SDN is used to add or remove MPTCP paths in order to reduce a large number of out-of-order packets which may cause poor performance and degrade the end-user's QoE. These SDN-based MPTCP solutions require a larger number of flow rules to be installed in each of the SDN switches along the delivery path and thereby increase the load at the SDN switches and the controller.…”

A Multipath Transport Scheme for Real-Time Multimedia Services Based on Software-Defined Networking and Segment Routing

It is still a challenging task to provide satisfactory quality of experience (QoE) to users by traditional routing mechanism in current public Internet for real-time multimedia services with high bandwidth and strict end-to-end latency constraint. Multipath transmission is a promising way to improve the performance of data delivery, due to its advantage in bandwidth aggregation capacity over multiple paths to speed up high volume transfers between endpoints. However, existing multipath transmission has many disadvantages such as the requirements for end-host support (i.e. the necessary multi-homed network setting, and operating system or upper applications updates of user devices), and blindingly pursuing maximum of transmission throughput. Path allocation and end-to-end transmission control are two important factors affecting the quality of multipath transmission. As an emerging network architecture, softwaredefined networking (SDN) is flexible, manageable, and responsive to rapid changes in traffic requirements. In this paper, we propose a multipath transport scheme based on SDN with segment routing (SR) which can meet the bandwidth and low end-to-end transmission latency requirements of real-time interactive multimedia services. The centralized SDN controller is extended to allocate multiple disjoint paths meeting bandwidth requirement meanwhile balancing the network load. The proprietary multipath media server (MMS) dynamically controls the assignment between subflows and routing paths to reduce the end-toend transmission latency and thus improve QoE of end-users. To show the feasibility of our approach, we construct an SDN platform using Mininet. Simulation results show that our approach performs better compared to the conventional approaches in terms of traffic balancing and end-to-end transmission delay.

Flowlet-Based Stateful Multipath Forwarding in Heterogeneous Internet of Things

et al. 2020

Concurrent multipath transfer effectively improves network throughput and reliability by utilizing the unoccupied network links. However, the performance of concurrent multipath transfer degrades significantly in the heterogeneous Internet of Things. The reason is that the disorder and retransmission will increase sharply if the quality of links are greatly different. This paper proposes a multipath stateful forwarding mechanism in the granularity of flowlet, which is featured with planning the flowlet forwarding dynamically to improve the transmission success rate. Besides, our mechanism implements stateful forwarding by improving the state information processing capability of the data plane. It can adjust the size of the flowlet based on the network performance of the path, thereby improving the bandwidth resource utilization of the system. In particular, the proposed mechanism can sense network congestion status dynamically, detect network anomalies, and re-plan the forwarding strategy. Experimental results show that in the harsh environment (link quality varies greatly among the three test paths), the proposed mechanism can improve the throughput by 114.7% and reduce the percentage of out of order packets by 29.5% compared with the Round-Robin Scheduling mechanism. INDEX TERMS Concurrent multipath transfer, stateful forwarding, flowlet-based forwarding, IoT.
