software defined networking

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an architectural approach to networking that separates the control plane from the data plane, providing centralized control and programmability to network management. In traditional networking, control functions and forwarding functions are tightly coupled in network devices like routers and switches. However, in SDN, the control plane is abstracted from the underlying hardware and implemented as software.

In an SDN architecture, there are three main components:

Data Plane: The data plane consists of network devices such as switches, routers, and access points. These devices are responsible for forwarding network traffic based on instructions received from the control plane.
Control Plane: The control plane is the brains of the SDN architecture. It consists of one or more controllers that have a global view of the network and make decisions about how network traffic should be forwarded. Controllers communicate with the data plane devices using a standardized protocol like OpenFlow.
Southbound and Northbound APIs: The southbound API is used to communicate between the control plane and the data plane. OpenFlow is one of the most common southbound APIs used in SDN. The northbound API, on the other hand, allows external applications or services to interact with the SDN controller to control and manage the network programmatically.

Global Lighthouse Network

Smart, sustainable manufacturing: 3 lessons from the Global Lighthouse Network Launched in 2018, when more than 70% of factories struggled to scale digital transformation beyond isolated pilots, the Global Lighthouse Network set out to identify the world’s most advanced production sites and create a shared learning journey to up-level the global manufacturing community. In the past seven years, the network has grown from 16 to 201 industrial sites in more than 30 countries and 35 sectors, including the latest cohort of 13 new sites. This growing community of organizations is setting new standards for operational excellence, leveraging advanced technologies to drive growth, productivity, resilience and environmental sustainability. But what exactly is a Global Lighthouse and what has the network achieved? What is the Global Lighthouse Network? The Global Lighthouse Network is a community of operational facilities and value chains that harness digital technologies at scale to ac...

Multi-Modal Data

Multi-Task Federated Split Learning Across Multi-Modal Data with Privacy Preservation With the advancement of federated learning (FL), there is a growing demand for schemes that support multi-task learning on multi-modal data while ensuring robust privacy protection, especially in applications like intelligent connected vehicles. Traditional FL schemes often struggle with the complexities introduced by multi-modal data and diverse task requirements, such as increased communication overhead and computational burdens. In this paper, we propose a novel privacy-preserving scheme for multi-task federated split learning across multi-modal data (MTFSLaMM). Our approach leverages the principles of split learning to partition models between clients and servers, employing a modular design that reduces computational demands on resource-constrained clients. To ensure data privacy, we integrate differential privacy to protect intermediate data and employ homomorphic encryption to safeguard client m...

Quantum Network Nodes

An operating system for executing applications on quantum network nodes The goal of future quantum networks is to enable new internet applications that are impossible to achieve using only classical communication . Up to now, demonstrations of quantum network applications and functionalities on quantum processors have been performed in ad hoc software that was specific to the experimental setup, programmed to perform one single task (the application experiment) directly into low-level control devices using expertise in experimental physics. Here we report on the design and implementation of an architecture capable of executing quantum network applications on quantum processors in platform-independent high-level software. We demonstrate the capability of the architecture to execute applications in high-level software by implementing it as a quantum network operating system-QNodeOS-and executing test programs, including a delegated computation from a client to a server ...
