The IEEE NFV-SDN is a forum for the international community to discuss the latest advancements, trends, research breakthroughs and industry applications, and research endeavors in the fields of Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and related technologies.
INTRIG marked it presence by presenting a keynote, a tutorial, two fast-track papers, a doctoral symposium (which earned the Best Doctoral Symposium award), and three demos (one of which won Best Demo). Prof. Dr. Christian Esteve Rothenberg delivered the keynote, titled “Software Defined Inception: Turning P4/Tofino Programmable Hardware into an Emulation and Traffic Generation Toolbox for Network Slicing Research.” The tutorial, “Recapping Your Programmable Infrastructures in Support of 6G Research: From Network Emulation to Traffic Generation,” was a highlight of the opening day. The main track papers included “RESISTING: A New Fast-Reroute Mechanism with Packet Distribution on P4-Programmable Switches” and “MATADOR: ML-based Cloud Gaming Traffic Detection entirely in Programmable Hardware.”
The Doctoral Symposium titled “QoE Evaluation for Emerging Media Applications: Network-Level Analysis and Traffic Modeling”, by Ph.D. student Tariqul Islam took home the Best Doctoral Symposium award!
The demos featured were “Programmable Network Testbed for QoS/QoE Assessment of Holographic Media Delivery,” “POSMAC: Powering Up In-Network AR/CG Traffic Classification with Online Learning,” and “PINT-BoX: Path-aware Networking IN a Tofino BoX,” with the latter receiving the Best Demo award.
