Abstract

Abstract Virtualization techniques effectively handle the growing demand for computing, storage, and communication resources in large-scale Cloud Data Centers (CDC). It helps to achieve different resource management objectives like load balancing, online system maintenance, proactive fault tolerance, power management, and resource sharing through Virtual Machine (VM) migration. VM migration is a resource-intensive procedure as VM’s continuously demand appropriate CPU cycles, cache memory, memory capacity, and communication bandwidth. Therefore, this process degrades the performance of running applications and adversely affects efficiency of the data centers, particularly when Service Level Agreements (SLA) and critical business objectives are to be met. Live VM migration is frequently used because it allows the availability of application service, while migration is performed. In this paper, we make an exhaustive survey of the literature on live VM migration and analyze the various proposed mechanisms. We first classify the types of Live VM migration (single, multiple and hybrid). Next, we categorize VM migration techniques based on duplication mechanisms (replication, de-duplication, redundancy, and compression) and awareness of context (dependency, soft page, dirty page, and page fault) and evaluate the various Live VM migration techniques. We discuss various performance metrics like application service downtime, total migration time and amount of data transferred. CPU, memory and storage data is transferred during the process of VM migration and we identify the category of data that needs to be transferred in each case. We present a brief discussion on security threats in live VM migration and categories them in three different classes (control plane, data plane, and migration module). We also explain the security requirements and existing solutions to mitigate possible attacks. Specific gaps are identified and the research challenges in improving the performance of live VM migration are highlighted. The significance of this work is that it presents the background of live VM migration techniques and an in depth review which will be helpful for cloud professionals and researchers to further explore the challenges and provide optimal solutions.

Abstract

The unprecedented ballooning of network traffic flow, specifically, Internet of Things (IoT) network traffic, has big stressed of congestion on todays Internet. Non-recurring network traffic flow may be caused by temporary disruptions, such as packet drop, poor quality of services, delay, etc. Hence, the network traffic flow estimation is important in IoT networks to predict congestion. As the data in IoT networks is collected from a large number of diversified devices which have unlike format of data and also manifest complex correlations, so the generated data is heterogeneous and nonlinear in nature. Conventional machine learning approaches unable to deal with nonlinear datasets and suffer from misclassification of real network traffic due to overfitting. Therefore, it also becomes really hard for conventional machine learning tools like shallow neural networks to predict the congestion accurately. Accuracy of congestion prediction algorithms play an important role to control the congestion by regulating the send rate of the source. Various deeplearning methods (LSTM, CNN, GRU, etc.) are considered in designing network traffic flow predictors, which have shown promising results. In this work, we propose a novel congestion predictor for IoT, that uses Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN). Furthermore, we use Taguchi method to optimize the TCN model that reduces the number of runs of the experiments. We compare TCN with other four deep learning-based models concerning Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Relative Error (MRE). The experimental results show that TCN based deep learning framework achieves improved performance with 95.52% accuracy in predicting network congestion. Further, we design the Home IoT network testbed to capture the real network traffic flows as no standard dataset is available.
