Cloud Networking has emerged as a promising direction for cost-efficient and reliable service delivery across data communication networks. The dynamic location of service facilities and the virtualization of hardware and software elements are stressing the communication network and protocols, especially when datacenters are interconnected through the Internet. Although the “computing” aspects of Cloud technologies have been largely investigated, lower attention has been devoted to the “networking” aspects. The 2016 5th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking (IEEE CloudNet 2016), part of the IEEE Cloud Computing Initiative, precisely addresses these aspects.
Conference topics include (but are not limited to):
-
Cloud Traffic Characterization and Measurements
-
Cloud Traffic Engineering and Control-Plane Architectures
-
Cloud Federation and Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure
-
Internet Routing of Cloud data
-
Virtual Ethernet Switching, Data Center Bridging
-
