Sdn heading north: Towards a declarative intent-based northbound interface (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alalmaei, S., Elkhatib, Y., Bezahaf, M., Broadbent, M., & Race, N. (2020). Sdn heading north: Towards a declarative intent-based northbound interface. In 2020 16th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM). https://doi.org/10.2391

The Intent-Based Northbound Interface (NBI) offers users the ability to express what they want to achieve instead of how to achieve it, enabling improvements to network management and reducing operational costs. However, development of an Intent-Base... Read More about Sdn heading north: Towards a declarative intent-based northbound interface.

Impact of Content Popularity on Content Finding in NDN: Default NDN vs. Vicinity-based Enhanced NDN (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Suwannasa, A., Broadbent, M., & Mauthe, A. (2020). Impact of Content Popularity on Content Finding in NDN: Default NDN vs. Vicinity-based Enhanced NDN. In 2020 10th International Conference on Information Science and Technology (ICIST) (163-168). https:/

Named Data Networking allows a consumer to locate a desired content object by its name prefix. By using the best route strategy of the default NDN architecture, an Interest packet is forwarded along a default path indicated by the packet's name to fi...

From One Edge to the Other: Exploring Gaming's Rising Presence on the Network (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Marsden, M., Hazas, M., & Broadbent, M. (2020). From One Edge to the Other: Exploring Gaming's Rising Presence on the Network. In ICT4S2020: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on ICT for Sustainability (247-254). https://doi.org/10.1145/3401

Audio and video streaming and on-demand services have dramatically changed how, and how much, media is consumed. Streaming generally allows a much larger selection of content, and arguably greater convenience. Gaming is the latest medium to place del...

Despite the Internet being an apex of human achievement for many years, malicious activity and cyber attacks are becoming more prevalent than ever before. Large scale data collection using threat sources such as honeypots have recently been employed... Read More about Citrus: Orchestrating Security Mechanisms via Adversarial Deception.

Evaluation of cmaf in live streaming scenarios (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lyko, T., Broadbent, M., Race, N., Nilsson, M., Farrow, P., & Appleby, S. (2020). Evaluation of cmaf in live streaming scenarios. In Proceedings of the 30th ACM Workshop on Network and Operating Systems Support for Digital Audio and Video (21-26). https:

HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) technologies such as MPEG DASH are now used extensively to deliver television services to large numbers of viewers. In HAS, the client requests segments of content using HTTP, with an ABR algorithm selecting the quality... Read More about Evaluation of cmaf in live streaming scenarios.

P4ID: P4 enhanced intrusion detection (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lewis, B., Broadbent, M., & Race, N. (2020). P4ID: P4 enhanced intrusion detection. In 2019 IEEE Conference on Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networks (NFV-SDN) (1-4). https://doi.org/10.1109/NFV-SDN47374.2019.9040044

The growth in scale and capacity of networks in recent years leads to challenges of positioning and scalability of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). With the flexibility afforded by programmable dataplanes, it is now possible to perform a new level... Read More about P4ID: P4 enhanced intrusion detection.

Vicinity-based replica finding in named data networking (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Suwannasa, A., Broadbent, M., & Mauthe, A. (2020). Vicinity-based replica finding in named data networking. In 2020 International Conference on Information Networking (ICOIN) (146-151). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICOIN48656.2020.9016429

In Named Data Networking (NDN) architectures, a content object is located according to the content's identifier and can be retrieved from all nodes that hold a replica of the content. The default forwarding strategy of NDN is to forward an Interest p... Read More about Vicinity-based replica finding in named data networking.

Self-generated intent-based system (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bezahaf, M., Hernandez, M. P., Bardwell, L., Davies, E., Broadbent, M., King, D., & Hutchison, D. (2020). Self-generated intent-based system. In 2019 10th International Conference on Networks of the Future (NoF) (138-140). https://doi.org/10.1109/NoF4774

We propose an intent-based system where, on top of the user intentions, the system itself generates suitable Quality of Service and resilience parameters and may augment the intent characteristics if it detects any room for improvement. We demonstrat... Read More about Self-generated intent-based system.
