Effective burst preemption in OBS network

Trabajo presentado al Workshop on High Performance Switching and Routing 2006, Poznan (Polonia), 7-9 de junio de 2006Burst preemption is the most effective technique to provide Quality of Service (QoS) differentiation in Optical Burst Switching (OBS) networks. Nonetheless, in conventional OBS architectures, when preemption happens the control packet corresponding to the preempted burst continues its travel to the destination node reserving resources at each node of the path. Therefore, an additional signaling procedure should be carried out to release these unnecessary reservations. In this paper we present novel control architecture to efficiently apply burst preemption without the need of the signaling procedure. Analytical and simulation results prove the effectiveness of this proposal.This work has been partially funded by the e-Photon/ONe project (IST FP6-001933) and the MEC (Spanish Ministry of Education) under contract TEC2005-08051-C03-01

High-speed analysis of SMB2 file sharing traffic without TCP stream reconstruction

Trabajo presentado a la 5th IEEE International Symposium on Measurements and Networking (M&N) 2019. Italia, 2019This paper presents a file sharing traffic analysis methodology for Server Message Block (SMB), a common protocol in the corporate environment. The design is focused on improving the traffic analysis rate that can be obtained per CPU core in the analysis machine. SMB is most commonly transported over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and therefore its analysis requires TCP stream reconstruction. We evaluate a traffic analysis design which does not require stream reconstruction. We compare the results obtained to a reference full reconstruction analysis, both in accuracy of the measurements and maximum rate per CPU core. We achieve an increment of 30% in the traffic processing rate, at the expense of a small loss in accuracy computing the probability distribution function for the protocol response times.This work was supported by Spanish MINECO through project PIT (TEC2015-69417-C2-2-R)
