This article describes how novel functionalities will take advantage of the cloud networking and will gradually replace the existing infrastructure of mobile networks with a virtualized one. Two technologies, namely software defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV), offer their important benefits and a combination of them is an answer to the demands raised, such as central office re-architected as a data center (CORD). Open network operating system (ONOS) and POX are SDN controllers and offer an option to combine SDN and NFV addressing many ongoing problems in the field of mobile networks. In this paper, technologies and both controllers are compared and contrasted. Indicative cases of topologies are simulated and help evaluating both controllers. According to the experimental findings, ONOS is one of the most important controllers for practical, theoretical, research and educational purposes, while POX is a useful and simpler controller for other educative applications.

Operational Aspect

In the last few decades, networks have grown to accommodate evolved technologies on every open system for interconnection (OSI) level. On the physical and data link layers, numerous wireless innovations introduced the mobile networks and the interconnection of smart objects. The innovations in network abstraction introduced the cloud- and software-defined networking environments. The high rate and diversity of networking innovations requires adaptations in the forensics approach, so the practice remains capable of uncovering evidence. This chapter explores the operational aspect of both the traditional and the evolved network forensics.

Mobile Core Network

AbstractThe introduction of Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) has transformed the way networks will be built in the future. This development also applies to mobile networks and their evolution. How the SDN and NFV concepts will be integrated exactly is still an open research question with multiple approaches and techniques in discussion. This article provides an overview of the current discussion points with regard to development paths, building blocks, deployment scenarios, and the opportunities and challenges of the new concepts in the mobile core network context.

Fast Adaptation

Artificial intelligence (AI) and in particular machine learning are seen as cornerstones to automate and rethink network management operations in the context of network softwarization (i.e., SDN, NFV, and Cloud). In this regard, operators and service providers target the creation of service offerings, the customization of network solutions, and the fast adaptation to rapidly changing market demands. This translates into requirements for increased flexibility, modularity, and scalability in network management operations. This chapter presents a detailed specification of a cognitive (AI-based) network management framework applicable for existing and future (software-defined) networks. The framework is built upon the combined state-of-the-art on autonomic, policy-based management and big data. It is exemplified with two detailed use cases: the urban mobility awareness for today's mobile networks and SLA (service level agreement) enforcement in the context of NFV and cloud.
