Optimizing Network Resilience with Segment Routing A Comparative Study of SR TI-LFA and rLFA
Conference paper

Abstract: Network operators are confronted with the demanding requirements resulting from the evolution of IP networks. As a result, it has become necessary to provide rigorous Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that are in line with these requirements. However, traditional IP networks lack the necessary flexibility, scalability, and manageability to meet these demands. In order to address these limitations, the segment routing (SR) architecture has been developed. SR is based on source-routing and tunneling paradigms, which enable IP/MPLS and IPV6 networks to operate in a simplified and more scalable manner. The focus of this paper is on network protection (resiliency) using Topology Independent Loop-Free Alternatives Fast Re-Route (TI-LFA FRR) using MPLS as the underlying technology. SR overcomes the limitations of previous network protection mechanisms in terms of coverage and optimal path selection. To show the effectiveness of SR TI-LFA in comparison to its predecessor, Remote Loop-Free Alternate (rLFA), we have implemented various scenarios. These scenarios are designed to highlight the superior capabilities of TI-LFA.

Enhancing Data Center Performance using Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) EmergingTechnology
Journal Article

Abstract As more and more people turn to the cloud for their personal and professional purposes, cloud computing has become essential for the majority of users. Given the increased demand for cloud virtualization, the datacenter needs to be able to accommodate more virtual machines (VMs) that are housed on its servers. A datacenter employing old technology may accommodate up to 4096 VLANs, which would restrict the number of tenants it could serve. Spanning-Tree Protocol (SPT) is used by VLANs to remove loops, or duplicates, which block half of the routes and waste available bandwidth. The Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), an emerging technology, must be used from there. It permits network segmentation similar to that of regular VLANs without obstructing traffic or reducing scalability. This study outlined both established and novel approaches and then clarified how to use them for data center topology. It also covered the drawbacks of utilizing conventional technologies. The benefits of cutting-edge technology and its superior influence on datacenter bandwidth utilization. To demonstrate how the new technology enhances data center performance, these technologies were finally replicated using the Eve emulator.

First, System identification model and another is the noise identification model. The problem here is the unknown variables in the information vectors and the used idea for solving this problem is to replacing these unknown variables with their corresponding estimates. Thus, the parameters of these two identification models can be estimated using recursive least squares method. Finally, a simulation example is provided to support the comparison between these proposed algorithms. KEYWORDS: identification algorithm; parameter estimation; filtering technique; decomposition technique; information vector.

Comprehensive State-of-the-Art of Vehicle-To-Grid Technology
Conference paper

A vehicle is a means of transportation, such as a car, truck, or train, that is capable of moving people or goods from one place to another. Vehicles can be classified based on various factors, such as the type of fuel they use (e.g. gasoline, diesel, electricity), the number of wheels they have (e.g. two, four, six), and their intended use (e.g. passenger transportation). Vehicles may have connectors, such as plug sockets or fuel ports, that allow them to be connected to other devices or systems to form Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology. For example, an Electric Vehicle (EV) may have a charging port that allows it to be connected to an electric power source to recharge its batteries such Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) as one of the V2X forms. One of the challenges in charging EVs is the availability of charging infrastructure. In many places, there are relatively few public charging stations, which can make it difficult for EV owners to find a place to charge their vehicles when they are away from home. Additionally, charging an electric vehicle can take significantly longer time than filling up a gasoline-powered vehicle, which can be inconvenient for some drivers. In this review, the various topologies of V2X, connectors, charging challenges, and EV impact types on the grid are conducted.

Stochastic Method and Sensitivity Analysis Assessments for Vehicle-to-Home Integration based on Renewable Energy Sources
Conference paper

Electric Vehicles (EVs) as hotspot research are increasingly being used as alternative energy sources outside of transportation due to global variables like energy usage and environmental concerns. Gridable Electric Vehicle (GEV) is exploiting the opportunity for connecting EVs to the grid. EVs are now capable of contributing to addressing power limitations and acting as a reserve source of energy for the distribution grid in the Electric Vehicle Charging Facility (EVCF) to form Vehicle-to-Home (V2H). This paper is introduced to estimate impacts on the load for the uncertain behavior of EVs under domestic load after being sized using algorithms. Although, the integration of EVs provides an economical and environmental solution with a positive impact, however, it affects the power system when the uncertain number of EVs is provided as heavy duty. Sensitivity analysis has been considered in the study to investigate the expected changes in the system from the affected components.
