The proposed protocol integrates two enhanced features (i.e. layer 2 topology discovery and autonomic fault recovery) in a unified mechanism. This novel approach is validated through simulation experiments using OMNET++. Obtained results show that our protocol discovers and recovers the control topology efficiently in terms of time and message load over a wide range of generated networks.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Energy-aware routing in multiple domains software defined networks

The growing energy consumption of communication networks has attracted the attention of the networking researchers in the last decade. In this context, the new architecture of Software-Defined Networks (SDN) allows a flexible programmability, suitable for the power-consumption optimization problem. In this paper we address the issue of designing a novel distributed routing algorithm that optimizes the power consumption in large scale SDN with multiple domains. The solution proposed, called DEAR (Distributed Energy- Aware Routing), tackles the problem of minimizing the number of links that can be used to satisfy a given data traffic demand under performance constraints such as control traffic delay and link utilization. To this end, we present a complete formulation of the optimization problem that considers routing requirements for control and data plane communications. Simulation results confirm that the proposed solution enables the achievement of significant energy savings.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Discovering the network topology: an efficient approach for SDN

Network topology is a physical description of the overall resources in the network. Collecting this information using efficient mechanisms becomes a critical task for important network functions such as routing, network management, quality of service (QoS), among many others. Recent technologies like Software-Defined Networks (SDN) have emerged as promising approaches for managing the next generation networks. In order to ensure a proficient topology discovery service in SDN, we propose a simple agents-based mechanism. This mechanism improves the overall efficiency of the topology discovery process. In this paper, an algorithm for a novel Topology Discovery Protocol (SD-TDP) is described. This protocol will be implemented in each switch through a software agent. Thus, this approach will provide a distributed solution to solve the problem of network topology discovery in a more simple and efficient way.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Psicodrama. Reflexiones desde la práctica clínica en un Hospital de Día Psiquiátrico

In this article I introduce the therapeutic potential that the psychodrama gives to the treatment of the patients with severe mental disorder. I propose the specific characteristics that, from the clinic practice in a Psychiatric Day Hospital of Madrid, have specially revealed fertile to the persons that participate in and also to the community framing and its assembly in the framework of a transdisciplinary work.En este artículo presento las potencialidades terapéuticas que el psicodrama otorga al tratamiento de pacientes con trastorno mental severo.
