A Survey of Semantic Internet Networking Techniques

Individual IETF Internet-Draft – May 2023
The Internet Protocol (IP) has become the global standard in any computer network, independent of the connectivity to the Internet. Generally, an IP address is used to identify an interface on a network device.

Applicability of Abstraction and Control of Traffic Engineered Networks (ACTN) to Network Slicing

IETF Internet-Draft - March 2023
Network abstraction is a technique that can be applied to a network domain to obtain a view of potential connectivity across the network by utilizing a set of policies to select network resources. Network slicing is an approach to network operations that builds on   the concept of netwo

Demo Paper: "Slice Grouping for Transport Network Slices Using Hierarchical Multi-domain SDN Controllers"

2023 Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition (OFC2023)
This demonstration showcases how TeraFlowSDN provides support for hierarchical control of multiple heterogeneous SDN domains (through IP, microwave and optical technologies). Different transport slices are offered with multiple SLAs and grouped to optimize resources.

Experimental Demonstration of Transport Network Slicing with SLA Using the TeraFlowSDN Controller

2022 European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC2022)
This demo presents the TeraFlowSDN controller as a solution to provide dedicated transport network slices with SLAs. To this end, the demo details how the interface between an NFV orchestrator and the SDN controller can provide transport network slices using protected disjoint paths.

End-to-End Interdomain Transport Network Slice Management Using Cloud-based SDN Controllers

2022 27th OptoElectronics and Communications Conference (OECC) and 2022 International Conference on Photonics in Switching and Computing (PSC)
In spite of their popularity, developing secure smart contracts remains a challenging task. Existing solutions are either impractical as they do not support many complex real-world contracts or leave the burden to developers for fixing bugs.
