  abstract = {The recent introduction of full-mesh virtual private
    network ({VPN}) solutions which offer near native performance,
    coupled with modern encryption algorithms and easy scalability as a
    result of a central control plane have a strong potential to enable
    the implementation of a seamless edge-cloud continuum. To test the
    performance of existing solutions in this domain, we present a
    framework consisted of both essential and optional features that
    full-mesh {VPN} solutions need to support before they can be used
    for interconnecting geographically dispersed compute nodes. We then
    apply this framework on existing offerings and select three {VPN}
    solutions for further tests: Headscale, Netbird, and {ZeroTier}. We
    evaluate their features in the context of establishing an underlay
    network on top of which a Kubernetes overlay network can be
    created. We test pod-to-pod {TCP} and {UDP} throughput as well as
    Kubernetes application programming interface ({API}) response
    times, in multiple scenarios, accounting for adverse network
    conditions such as packet loss or packet delay. Based on the
    obtained measurement results and through analysis of the underlying
    strengths and weaknesses of the individual implementations, we draw
    conclusions on the preferred {VPN} solution depending on the
  use-case at hand, striking a balance between usability and performance.},

  abstract = {Emerging network services and subsequent growth in the
    networking infrastructure have gained tremendous momentum in recent
    years. Application performance requiring rapid real-time network
    provisioning, optimized traffic management, and virtualization of
    shared resources has induced the conceptualization and adoption of
    new networking models. Software defined networking ({SDN}), one of
    the predominant and relatively new networking paradigms, seeks to
    simplify network management by decoupling network control logic
    from the underlying hardware and introduces real-time network
    programmability enabling innovation. The present work reviews the
    state of the art in software defined networking providing a
    historical perspective on complementary technologies in network
    programmability and the inherent shortcomings which paved the way
    for {SDN}. The {SDN} architecture is discussed along with popular
    protocols, platforms, and existing simulation and debugging
    solutions. Furthermore, a detailed analysis is presented around
    recent {SDN} development and deployment avenues ranging from mobile
    communications and data centers to campus networks and residential
    environments. The review concludes by highlighting implementation
    challenges and subsequent research directions being pursued in
    academia and industry to address issues related to application
    performance, control plane scalability and design, security, and

    a tedious and time-consuming iterative process. The reproducibility

    contributions. We think that being able to smoothly test

    better experimental practices. To address this issue, this paper
    introduces the notion of environment transposition and implements
    it in {NixOS} Compose, a tool that generates reproducible
    distributed environments. It enables users to deploy their
    environments on virtualized (docker, {QEMU}) or physical
    (Grid’5000) platforms with the same unique description of the
    environment. We show that {NixOS} Compose enables to build
    reproducible environments without overhead by comparing it to
    state-of-the-art solutions for the generation of distributed
    environments ({EnOSlib} and Kameleon). {NixOS} Compose actually
    enables substantial performance improvements on image building time
    over Kameleon (up to 11x faster for initial builds and up to 19x
  faster when building a variation of an existing environment).},

    tools suffer from an imperative model, where system administration
