Task-Force 1 Softwarization of Networks ICT COST Action IC1304 Autonomous Control for a Reliable Internet of Services (ACROSS)

General overview Controller Switch Southbound Interface Northbound Interface Security Architecture

Northbound activities – Dashboard design and implementation for Network Management tools based on: Graph results presentation for panels and scaled to Mobile devices. Big historical and maintenance data pool Recommenders based on AI and connection to BI – Focus on abstractions and utilization by upper layers. Policy based, SDN-enabled, network management. Extensions to OF protocols & different protocols Resiliency: SDN for industrial control applications

Northbound activities (2) SDN applications for telecommunications operators – NFV, migration path & service management in hybrid scenarios (traditional + virtualized), virtualization of access network infrastructure and customer premises equipment, virtualization of mobile operators’ infrastructure Virtualization of IoT infrastructure – Virtualization and management of IoT sensing and communications infrastructure, service management

Southbound activities – Impact of other scenarios : SDN in Mobile Wireless and IoT Cellular Based IOT scenario. Offloading – Focus on interactions with routing, transport, virtualization and optimization. Multipath and Loadbalancing. – QoE aware path calculation, Multipath and QoS constraints – Interaction with Transport Layer (MPTCP) CloudRAN/Small Cells wrt. Mobility management Virtualization: Interaction with Openstack(testbed) Extensive code for OpenvSwitch/OpenDaylight – Integration into CORE network emulator
