A NICE Way to Test OpenFlow Applications

Dejan Kostic, Marco Canini, Peter Peresini, Jennifer Rexford

The emergence of OpenFlow-capable switches enables exciting new network functionality, at the risk of programming errors that make communication less reliable. The centralized programming model, where a single controller program manages the network, seems ...

Reoptimized interaction parameters for the peptide-backbone model compound N-methylacetamide in the GROMOS force field: Influence on the folding properties of two beta-peptides in methanol

Wei Huang, Bruno Araujo Cautiero Horta

Considering N-methylacetamide (NMA) as a model compound, new interaction parameters are developed for the amide function in the GROMOS force field that are compatible with the recently derived 53A6OXY parameter set for oxygen-containing chemical functions. ...

Degrees of freedom of sparsely connected wireless networks

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Naveen Goela

We investigate how the network connectivity can affect the degrees of freedom (DoF) of wireless networks. We consider a network of n source-destination (SD) pairs and assume that any two nodes are connected with a positive probability p, independent of oth ...

In-Network Packet Scheduling and Rate Allocation: A Content Delivery Perspective

We investigate two important problems in media delivery via active network agents. First, we consider streaming multiple video assets over a shared backbone network through an intermediate proxy-server to a set of receiving clients. The proxy is located at ...

Automating the Testing of OpenFlow Applications

Dejan Kostic, Marco Canini, Jennifer Rexford

Software-defined networking, and the emergence of OpenFlow-capable switches, enables a wide range of new network functionality. However, enhanced programmability inevitably leads to more software faults (or bugs). We believe that tools for testing OpenFlow ...

Network Coding: Beyond Throughput Benefits

Christina Fragouli

Network coding enables novel network functionalities and thus offers a wider canvas of choices when optimizing an information flow problem. In this paper, we examine the simplest possible information flow problem, a unicast connection, and explore what we ...
