With the widespread of new fast networks and need for critical application, survivability,
reliability and quality of service became an sensational issue. Recovery mechanism used by IP
network spent a lot of time from several seconds to minutes. Th
is causes large drop in data
packages. MPLS is a next generation backbone architecture, which can speed up packet forwarding
to destination by label switching especially with its traffic engineering capability. MPLS recovery
mechanisms are increasing in popularity because they can guarantee fast restoration and high QoS
assurance.
We simulated in our research several scenarios for link failure using fast reroute technology
in MPLS network's using Opnet. Results lead us to consider this technique successful in limiting
delay and packet drop in recovery cycle.
The desire to improve the overall performance of IP network leads to designing new
QoS achitectures. The new Enhancement in providing quality of service (QoS) on the
Internet is based on the Different Services (DiffServ). DiffServ divides traffic i
nto small
classes and allocates network resources on a per-class basis. In this architecture, packets
are marked with different DiffServ code points (DSCP) at edge routers, and the priority for
packets is given via the value of this field. On the other hand, MPLS is a fast forwarding
mechanism that depends on Label's. The main advantage of MPLS is its support for traffic
engineering which results in best utilization of network's resources like link capacity. The
integration of using MPLS (as a forwarding mechanism) with DiffServ (as a QoS
mechanism) offer high Quality of service especially for real time applications (such as
VoIP, Video Conference).
We evaluate the performance of MPLS-DiffServ networks in our research. We study
QoS metrics as delay, variation of delay, upload response time, link utilization, packet loss
for several kinds of traffic (Voice, Video, FTP) by using OPNET Simulator and we
showed its superiority over MPLS network and pure IP ones. We compare our results with
MPLS networks and pure IP ones. Our results showed superiority of MPLS-DiffServ over
other kinds of networks. This is clear in decreasing delay ,delay variation, upload response
time, queuing delay, reduction of lost packets and best utilization of link capacity.
The restoration of the network from failure got through different
mechanisms and algorithms at different levels of network in particular
time. Recovery methods of optical network based on GMPLS Do not take
any consideration for the integration of
communication when it establish
the backup path, which can lead to greater harm, such as the failure may
occur to a link or a path in which a large number of contacts concentrated.
Also, such concentration may leads to a negative impact in terms of the
network survivability.
The location of wireless sensor nodes located in the center is necessary for applications
where information about the site is important information such as security, protection,
object tracking and other applications.
localization algorithms are c
lassified into two types: Range-based and Range-free. The
study focused on Range-free localization algorithms because they are less expensive in
terms of hardware requirements.
The MATLAB was used to simulate the algorithms, whose performance was evaluated by
changing the number of network nodes, the number of Anchor nodes, and the contract area
of communication in order to illustrate performance differences in terms of localization
error.
The results showed the superiority of the amorphous algorithm, achieving high localization
accuracy and lower cost for the number of Anchor nodes needed to achieve a small error.
Software defined networks SDN is one of the most influential types of networks in information and communication technology compared to all traditional network technologies where there are many challenges, SDN is one of the most promising solutions fo
r the Internet in the future and provides a strong network infrastructure with high specifications and low cost, and represents the future of the next generation of network engineering due to the easy division of networks, programming, monitoring, control and management through a central control, and the separation of control plane from the data-forwarding plane in SDN networks facilitates the process of managing and developing networks, as this technology is currently used in data centers and wireless networks, and is a solution to many of the problems faced by traditional networks. SDN networks are characterized by sufficient dynamism to deal with the different conditions of the network, and the controller is one of its most important components and is considered the smartest component in the network, and given the importance of choosing the appropriate controller according to the different parameters and conditions of the SDN network,in this research we conducted an analysis of the characteristics of Software defined Networks, The analysis relied on comparing SDN networks with the presence of a single OpenDaylight controller (ODL) and the presence of several controllers ODL, OpenDaylight controller was chosen as one of the famous controllers and it is distinguished from others as an open source and contains a distributed datastore and is designed to suit the data center environment, Taking into account the OpenFlow protocol supported on the southern interface by this controller, the research includes simulations of software defined networks topologies using the Mininet emulator, and various scenarios and parameters such as data rate, packet delay, and throughput were analyzed by the D-ITG tool.
