Recently, low latency has become one of the most critical requirements in Wi-Fi networks (e.g., for Internet access). Many factors and events such as bufferbloat, which unexpectedly happen, can affect the delay of Wi-Fi networks. Hence, the delay requirement leads to the essential of a management mechanism, which can 1) correctly detect negative behavior in latency; 2) and adjust network settings adaptively. In this paper, we introduce a solution for the two mentioned issues, which uses the emerging Software Defined Networking (SDN) technology. Our SDN-based method can guarantee a predetermined value of delay in the Wi-Fi network by taking advantage of SDN. More specifics, we correctly monitor the delay fluctuation in Wi-Fi networks on an SDN controller. We then deploy a task of queue adjustment when the delay value exceeds the predetermined one. We have developed and evaluated our method using the mininet-wifi emulator and POX controller. The results show that we can maintain the guaranteed delay level for packet transmissions without significant effects on network performance.

Penetration testing is one of the most common methods for assessing the security of a system, application, or network. Although there are different support tools with great efficiency in this field, penetration testing is done mostly manually and relies heavily on the experience of the ethical hackers who are doing...
Software-defined networking (SDN) is a potential approach for modern network architecture, which has received great attention recently. SDN-based networks also face security issues, and they can become targets of cyberattacks. Cyber threat hunting is one of the security solutions proposed for early attack detection in SDN. Developing machine learning-based IDS...
