Title
A Fine-Grained Video Traffic Control Mechanism in Software-Defined Networks
Abstract
We investigate how to provide Quality-of-Service (QoS) for diversified video flows. We design a fine-grained video traffic control mechanism that integrates traffic classification with path selection for video flows within the framework of SDN. For the design, we present a category-theoretic ontology log (olog) diagram model, which provides a novel perspective on the interdependency among various system components. For the video traffic classification, we first evaluate various machine learning classifiers in terms of their performance and then chose the most effective one to be the first module. For the path selection, we devise a multi-constrained QoS routing strategy by restructuring a state-of-the-art graph algorithm, combine it with the k-shortest path algorithm, and deploy this strategy as another video traffic control module. We implemented a prototype of the proposed mechanism on the SDN emulator Mininet, and we evaluate its effectiveness using the performance results obtained.
