We provide a design of a control and management plane for data networks using the abstraction of 4D architecture, utilizing and extending 4D’s concept of a logically centralized...
Self-organizing systems are present in many areas of nature and science, and have more recently been increasingly applied to telecommunications. These systems often exhibit common ...
—We investigate the design of a clean-slate control and nt plane for data networks using the abstraction of 4D architecture, utilizing and extending 4D’s concept of logically c...
Today's data networks are surprisingly fragile and difficult to manage. We argue that the root of these problems lies in the complexity of the control and management planes--...
—We explore the design of a logically centralized but physically distributed control plane for 4D architecture. 4D architecture proposes centralization of network-wide decision m...
