LatencySmasher: A Software-Defined Networking-Based Framework for End-to-End Latency Optimization

Tech ID: 19B149

Competitive Advantages

  •     Quality of Service-aware framework prioritizes delay sensitive applications
  •     Fast & adaptive optimal end-to-end path computation
  •     Reduces control overhead
  •     Computationally efficient

Summary

USF inventors have designed a mechanism that leverages both the global control and centralized view of the SDN to optimize the E2E latency, including latencies associated both with path search and selection, and controller-switch communication. The framework is implemented as an SDN controller application and then experimented extensively on the Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI), a real-world distributed network testbed. The framework was proven to outperform state-of-the-art in terms of average relative error of individual links, E2E delay and controller overhead, and estimate the actual latency accurately.
