TLDR
This survey presents a systematic, tutorial-like overview of packet-based fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane, focusing on concepts but structured around different networking technologies, from traditional link-layer and IP-based mechanisms, over BGP and MPLS to emerging software-defined networks and programmable data planes.Abstract:
In order to meet their stringent dependability requirements, most modern communication networks support fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane. While reactions to failures in the data plane can be significantly faster compared to control plane mechanisms, implementing fast recovery in the data plane is challenging, and has recently received much attention in the literature. This survey presents a systematic, tutorial-like overview of packet-based fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane, focusing on concepts but structured around different networking technologies, from traditional link-layer and IP-based mechanisms, over BGP and MPLS to emerging software-defined networks and programmable data planes. We examine the evolution of fast-recovery standards and mechanisms over time, and identify and discuss the fundamental principles and algorithms underlying different mechanisms. We then present a taxonomy of the state of the art and compile open research questions.read more

A BGP Hijacking Detection Method based on Multi-dimensional Historical Data Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a BGP prefix hijacking detection method based on multi-dimensional historical data analysis, which can avoid the high deployment cost and long detection delay of active measurement methods.

Early detection of link failures through the modeling of the hardware deterioration process
TL;DR: Overall descriptions for failure models in which HDD is able to produce high quality estimations of the remaining lifetime have been identified, with a trade-off between the hardware deterioration time dependence and the relationship between lifetime and packet loss probability.

Basic concepts and taxonomy of dependable and secure computing
TL;DR: The aim is to explicate a set of general concepts, of relevance across a wide range of situations and, therefore, helping communication and cooperation among a number of scientific and technical communities, including ones that are concentrating on particular types of system, of system failures, or of causes of systems failures.

TL;DR: This paper proposes P4 as a strawman proposal for how OpenFlow should evolve in the future, and describes how to use P4 to configure a switch to add a new hierarchical label.

TL;DR: This work advocate a complete refactoring of the functionality and proposes three key principles--network-level objectives, network-wide views, and direct control--that it believes should underlie a new architecture, called 4D, after the architecture's four planes: decision, dissemination, discovery, and data.

Understanding network failures in data centers: measurement, analysis, and implications
TL;DR: The first large-scale analysis of failures in a data center network is presented, finding that data center networks show high reliability, commodity switches such as ToRs and AggS are highly reliable, and network redundancy is only 40% effective in reducing the median impact of failure.
