This graduate course is a research-oriented seminar course with research presentations and discussions. The topics are drawn from the needs of an industry-oriented lab Network Benchmarking Lab (NBL, www.nbl.org.tw). NBL, established in May 2002, focuses on evaluating network devices ranging from switch/router, WLAN, VoIP, network security, 4G/LTE, and software defined networking (SDN) recently. The 1st and 2nd lines (a combined team of full-time engineers and students) of NBL test products and develop test tools, respectively, while the 3rd line (a team of 12-15 graduate students) devotes into test technology research. The research topics of the 3rd line, i.e., the main theme of this seminar course, are driven by the needs of the 1st/2nd lines. Students taking this course are expected to do two presentations (20 min each in the 1st and 2nd halves of the semester) on their chosen topics of research or study, and turn-in a term project report to summarize their works. Students currently not involved with NBL/EBL are welcome to take this course and encouraged to participate in the 1st/2nd lines, possibly with pay from NBL/EBL, to get the first-hand experiences. The topics of research or study could be drawn from the list below or through discussion with NBL 1st/2nd lines. It is very possible to derive a thesis through this course. It's a seminar course with presentations and discussions. The sole purpose is to help you develop your thesis proposal. If you are tired of listening to presentations and discussions of others, you can skip classes and come only when you have questions to ask me. You are required to present twice, once right after midterm week and another right after final week, and submit your thesis proposal in the form of a ppt slides or doc file. The grading will be based on your two presentations and proposal. A proposal should have (1) topic, (2) motivation, (3) problem statement, (4) survey, (5) solution, (6) implementation plan, (7) evaluation plan, (8) schedule, (9) reference. The topic can be anything related to networking. It can also be drawn from the list in the syllabus. It is advised that you discuss with your thesis adviser regarding the direction you should pursue. The class discussions are either in English or Chinese, depending on whichever language you are used to. Topics of Interests: (but not limited to these) 1. Software Defined Networking (SDN) OpenFlow conformance and interoperability OpenFlow performance: switch, controller, and app SDN app store Integration of SDN and NFV: OpenDaylight and Openstack SDN security-as-a-service SDN-enabled Wi-Fi SDN-enabled 5G Cloud-RAN (Radio Access Network) 2. Network Function Virtualization (NFV) NFV Service chaining NFV network load balancing NFV server load balancing NFV VM allocation 3. 5G Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) Edge computing systems Multi-RAN Service orchestration Virtualization and offloading Capacity optimization 4. Network Security NCC Security Criteria Sample collection and analysis: intrusion, malware, spam Mobile Security: behavior vs. signature, AV behaviors on Android NBL is defining national security criteria on IT products for NCC. Criteria for 8 categories of products have been released. There shall be more to come. Following the criteria, a massive scale of samples of intrusion, malware, and spam are being collected and analyzed in order to test products. With users extending their usage from PC to handheld, the security issues also migrate to Mobile Security. 5. WLAN, 4G, and 5G WLAN Replay: controlled mobility and environment LTE Test Bed: conformance by emulators, interop by field test Wi-Fi logo does not consider mobility and environment factors which do exist in the real world. Our WLAN Replay tries to reproduce the captured mobility and environment (noise/interference) factors. NBL recently extends into LTE where conformance and interoperability are two big issues for LTE h
