- A significant number of promising wireless sensor applications for the Internet of Things (IoT) are becoming a reality. Most of these applications require a variety of heterogeneous and geographical sensor data to be delivered to users such as mobile devices, vehicles, and cloud systems for big data analysis to extract maximum value from the physical world. Data caching of popular data items in a network can significantly improve efficiency and reliability of content delivery by contributing the reduction of data access delay, bandwidth usage, and packet losses in resource-limited low-rate wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose an efficient cache placement protocol (BCDA) that minimizes data access cost and guarantees cache consistency in a lightweight manner. The BCDA decides where to store a copy of data content in a network using a distributed approach according to clients' access patterns, memory capacity, data size, and so on. To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness, we implemented the BCDA in ns-2 and compared its performance with existing caching strategies. The simulation results highlight that the BCDA significantly reduces data access cost with minimizing cache management cost.

- Hybrid networking, based on electronic packet switching and optical circuit switching, has been proposed to resolve the existing switching bottlenecks in data centers in an energy-efficient and cost-effective fashion. We consider the problem of resource provisioning in hybrid data centers in terms of optical circuit switching capacity and granularity. The number of fibers connected to server racks, the number of wavelengths per fiber, and the ratio of capacity provided by the optical circuit-switched portion of the network to that of the electronic packet-switched portion are crucial design parameters to be optimized during the data center planning phase. These parameters in conjunction with the additive-increase, multiplicative-decrease (AIMD) congestion control mechanism of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) pose a significant impact on data center network performance. In this paper, we examine the combined impact of optical bandwidth settings and TCP dynamics using event-driven simulations. Our analysisreveals the strong dependence of overall network throughput on channel capacity (i.e., the bit rate per wavelength channel) and points to the advantages of optical bandwidth consolidation employing higher-order modulation formats.
