Recently, saving energy for backbone networks has raised an increasing concern for network operators. Since traffic load has a small influence on power consumption, the most common approach is to put unused links into sleep mode to save energy. To guarantee QoS, all traffic demands should be routed without violating capacity constraints. In...

Recently, due to the increasing power consumption and worldwide gases emissions in ICT (Information and Communication Technology), energy efficient ways to design and operate backbone networks are becoming a new concern for network operators. Since these networks are usually overprovisioned and since traffic load has a small influence on power...

With the development of All-Optical Label Switching (AOLS) network, nodes are capable of forwarding labeled packets without performing Optical-Electrical-Optical (OEO) conversions, speeding up the forwarding. However, this new technology also brings new constraints and, consequently, new problems have to be adressed. We study in this paper the...

La théorie des graphes constitue un domaine des mathématiques qui s'est développé au sein de disciplines diverses telles que la chimie (modélisation de structures), la biologie (génome), les sciences sociales (modélisation des relations) et le transport (réseaux routiers, électriques, etc.). Le cycle eulérien et le cycle hamiltonien Réseaux...

De récentes études montrent que la charge de trafic des routeurs n'a qu'une faible influence sur leur consommation énergétique. Par conséquent, la consommation dans les réseaux est fortement liée au nombre d'équipements du réseau activés (interfaces, chassis, etc). Dans un objectif de minimisation de l'énergie dans les réseaux, il est...

A communication in a network is a pair of nodes (s, t). The node s is called the source source and t the destination. A communication set is a set of distinct communications, i.e. two communications might have the same source or the same destination, but they cannot have both same source and same destination. A routing of a communication (s, t)...

Several studies exhibit that the traffic load of the routers only has a small influence on their energy consumption. Hence, the power consumption in networks is strongly related to the number of active network elements, such as interfaces, line cards, base chassis,... The goal thus is to find a routing that minimizes the (weighted) number of...

Motivated by routing in telecommunication network using Software Defined Network (SDN) technologies, we consider the following problem of finding short routing lists using aggregation rules. We are given a set of communications X , which are distinct pairs (s, t) ⊆ S × T , (typically S is the set of sources and T the set of destinations), and a...

Software-defined Networks (SDN), in particular OpenFlow, is a new networking paradigm enabling innovation through network programmability. Over past few years, many applications have been built using SDN such as server load balancing, virtual-machine migration, traffic engineering and access control. In this paper, we focus on using SDN for...

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) enables the complete decoupling of network functions from proprietary appliances and runs them as software applications on general–purpose servers. NFV allows network operators to dynamically deploy Virtual Network Functions (VNFs).Software Defined Networking (SDN) introduces a logically centralized...

Modern 5G networks promise more bandwidth, less delay and more flexibility for an ever increasing number of users and applications, with Software Defined Networking, Network Function Virtualization and Network Slicing as key enablers. Within that context, efficiently provisioning the network and cloud resources of a wide variety of applications...

Ce travail vise à montrer l'utilité de reconfigurer des chaînes de fonctions de services (SFC) dans le but d'améliorer le coût opérationnel du réseau. Nous proposons un modèle d'optimisation basé sur le mécanism emake-before-break, dans lequel l'ancien chemin n'est détruit que quand le nouveau chemin est complètement opérationnel, ceci afin de...

IP multicast is a protocol that deals with group communications with the aim of reducing traffic redundancy in the network. However, due to difficulty in deployment and poor scalability with a large number of multicast groups, IP multicast is still not widely deployed and used on the Internet. Recently, Xcast6 and Xcast6 Treemap, the two...
