Low-Complexity Visible Light Networking with LED-to-LED Communication

Domenico Giustiniano, Senior Researcher and Lecturer, ETH Zurich, Suiza
Visible Light Communication (VLC) is an emerging technology in which Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) transport information wirelessly, using the visible light spectrum. While most of the research on VLC has focused on wideband white LEDs used in ambient illumination, narrowband and colored LEDs have received little attention. Short-range free-space optical communication based on narrowband LEDs as visible light transmitters and receivers enable a variety of applications, a scenario we refer as LED-to-LED communication. In this work, we introduce the communication and networking protocols of LED-to-LED communication. Our work addresses fundamental challenges such as efficient collision detection medium access protocol and elimination of light flicker. We build a prototype and demonstrate bi-directional data exchange in a network of up to four LEDs. We further study the trade-offs in the system design and measure the achievable bit-rate and transmission distances

The Next Generation Wireless Sensor Network Challenges for an Emergency Preparedness and Response Class of Applications: A Necessary Public Safety and Security

Prof. Dr. Azzedine Boukerche, Full Professor of Computer Science and Engineering & Canada Research Chair, University of Ottawa, Canada; Cátedra de Excelencia, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid; Investigador Visitante, Institute IMDEA Networks, España
Wireless sensor network and wireless multimedia network technologies combined with interactive 3D virtual visualization can converge into really interesting and functional applications such as detailed real-time monitoring of environments, emergency response and preparedness, distributed collaborative training, and remote walkthroughs, just to name a few examples. With the recent advances in wireless communication, and the proliferation of portable computer and micro-sensor devices, we are witnessing a growing interest in using wireless multimedia sensor networks and collaborative virtual environment technologies for safety and security class of applications.

iBGP Deceptions: More Sessions, Fewer Routes

Luca Cittadini, PhD Student & Collaborator, Dipartimento di Informatica e Automazione, Università degli Studi Roma Tre, Italy
Internal BGP (iBGP) is used to distribute interdomain routes within a single ISP. The interaction between iBGP and the underlying IGP can lead to routing and forwarding anomalies. For this reason, several research contributions aimed at defining sufficient conditions to guarantee anomaly-free configurations and providing design guidelines for network operators.

Adaptive Modulation for Finite-Horizon Multicasting of Erasure-coded Data

Sim (Allyson) Gek Hong, Estudiante de doctorado, IMDEA Networks Institute & Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M)
We design an adaptive modulation scheme to support opportunistic multicast scheduling in wireless networks. Whereas prior work optimizes capacity, we investigate the finite horizon problem where (once or repeatedly) a fixed number of packets has to be transmitted to a set of wireless receivers in the shortest amount of time — a common problem, e.g., for software updates or video multicast.

Making BGP filtering an habit: Impact on policies

Juan Camilo Cardona, Estudiante de doctorado, Institute IMDEA Networks, España
It is common practice for network operators, usually for traffic engineering purposes, to propagate more specific prefixes (overlapping prefixes) along with shorter prefixes that cover them. On the other hand, it can be beneficial for some Autonomous Systems (ASes) to filter such overlapping prefixes

Advanced Computer Networks

Ibrahim Matta, Professor, Computer Science Department, College of Arts & Sciences, Boston University, USA
This seminar builds on your basic knowledge of computer networks from an introductory computer networks class or equivalent. It covers mathematical and algorithmic foundations of the essential networking functions of data transfer, transfer control, and management. Essential concepts of some techniques, such as optimization, control theory, queuing theory, and their application to networks are covered.

A SOFT Way for OpenFlow Switch Interoperability Testing

Maciej Kuzniar, PhD student, EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), Suiza
In this talk, I will present SOFT, a tool for testing the interoperability of OpenFlow switches. Our key insight is in automatically identifying the testing inputs that cause different OpenFlow agent implementations to behave inconsistently. To this end, we first symbolically execute each agent under test in isolation to derive which set of inputs causes which behavior. We then crosscheck all distinct behaviors across different agent implementations and evaluate whether a common input subset causes inconsistent behaviors. Our evaluation shows that our tool identified several inconsistencies between the publicly available Reference OpenFlow switch and Open vSwitch implementations.
