We point out that the huge capacity &lt;br /&gt;offered by the GPON highlights the enormous differences that &lt;br /&gt;can be showed among the available and actually exploitable &lt;br /&gt;bandwidth in the case of TCP. In this ultrabroadband &lt;br /&gt;environment we also investigated on use of the UDP and of the&lt;br /&gt;multisession TCP. A correlation in terms of QoE is also reported.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Edion Tego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Francesco Matera</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vincenzo Attanasio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donato Del Buono</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality of Service Management based on Software Defined Networking Approach in wide GbE Networks</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Euromed</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GbE</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PON</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">QoS</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SDN</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11/2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This work experimentally demonstrates how to control and manage user Quality of Service (QoS) by acting on the switching on-off of the optical Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) interfaces in a wide area network test bed including routers and GPON accesses. The QoS is monitored at the user location by means of active probes developed in the framework of the FP7 MPLANE project. The network topology is managed according to some current Software Defined Network issues and in particular an Orchestrator checks the user quality, the traffic load in the GbE links and manages the network interface reconfiguration when congestion occurs in some network segments.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
