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.}, pages = {1543--1564}, number = {8}, journaltitle = {Software: Practice and Experience}, author = {Kjorveziroski, Vojdan and Bernad, Cristina and Gilly, Katja and Filiposka, Sonja}, urldate = {2024-09-19}, date = {2024}, langid = {english}, keywords = {edge-cloud continuum, Kubernetes, orchestration, virtual private networks, Wireguard, {ZeroTier}}, file = {Attachment:/home/lhebendanz/Zotero/storage/BGJCY48V/Softw Pract Exp - 2024 - Kjorveziroski - Full‐mesh VPN performance evaluation for a secure edge‐cloud continuum.pdf:application/pdf}, } @inproceedings{hugerich_no-hop_2022, location = {New York, {NY}, {USA}}, title = {No-hop: In-network Distributed Hash Tables}, isbn = {978-1-4503-9168-9}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1145/3493425.3502757}, doi = {10.1145/3493425.3502757}, series = {{ANCS} '21}, shorttitle = {No-hop}, abstract = {We make a case for a distributed hash table lookup in the network data plane.

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 interdomain connectivity in the context of {SDN}.}, pages = {7191647}, number = {1}, journaltitle = {Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing}, author = {Bakhshi, Taimur}, urldate = {2024-09-23}, date = {2017}, langid = {english}, file = {Attachment:/home/lhebendanz/Zotero/storage/TXFJ8DJB/Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing - 2017 - Bakhshi - State of the Art and Recent Research Advances in Software.pdf:application/pdf}, } @online{noauthor_sci-hub_nodate, title = {Sci-Hub}, url = {https://sci-hub.usualwant.com/}, abstract = {Sci-Hub,{SciHub}: Contains the latest literature in 2024,world where everyone has free access to knowledge.}, urldate = {2024-11-19}, file = {Snapshot:/home/lhebendanz/Zotero/storage/Q6ZNWGBH/sci-hub.usualwant.com.html:text/html}, } @article{shukla_towards_2021, title = {Towards software defined low maintenance structured peer-to-peer overlays}, volume = {14}, issn = {1936-6442, 1936-6450}, url = {https://link.springer.com/10.1007/s12083-021-01112-7}, doi = {10.1007/s12083-021-01112-7}, pages = {1242--1260}, number = {3}, journaltitle = {Peer-to-Peer Netw.

The indirect approach conceptualizes information seeking and sharing as discrete activities connected by an intermediating factor, for example, information need. The sequential approach assumes that information seeking precedes information sharing.

This is happening as family and community social capital declines in most parts of developed world. Increased competition and individualism are not necessarily beneficial to creating social capital in schools and their communities. This article argues that: (1) the evidence remains controversial that test-based accountability policies improve the quality and efficiency of public education; (2) the current practice of determining educational performance by using primarily standardized knowledge tests as the main means of accountability is not a necessary condition for much needed educational improvement; and (3) there is growing evidence that increased high-stakes testing is restricting students’ conceptual learning, engaging in creative action and understanding innovation, all of which are essential elements of contemporary schooling in a knowledge society. Finland is used as an example to suggest that educational change should rather contribute to increasing networking and social capital in schools and in their communities through building trust and strengthening collective responsibilities within and between schools. This would create better prospects of worthwhile lifelong learning in and out of schools.

Secure and high performance virtual private networks ({VPNs}) will be necessary for that purpose.Therefore, we investigated and compared various {VPN} solutions. Their performance was tested on multiple hardware platforms ranging from very resource constrained to very powerful. Non-functional aspects, relating around security, manageability and ease of use, were discussed in order to assess their suitability for future use cases.We arrive at clear recommendations on which software {VPN} solutions to choose for future industrial setups.}, eventtitle = {2019 15th {IEEE} International Workshop on Factory Communication Systems ({WFCS})}, pages = {1--8}, booktitle = {2019 15th {IEEE} International Workshop on Factory Communication Systems ({WFCS})}, author = {Lackorzynski, Tim and Köpsell, Stefan and Strufe, Thorsten}, urldate = {2026-02-11}, date = {2019-05}, keywords = {Encryption, Hardware, industrial {IoT}, industrial networks, Industry, Logic gates, network security, Production facilities, secure transport, Software, tunneling, Virtual private networks, {VPN}}, file = {PDF:/home/lhebendanz/Zotero/storage/DWSF7ERP/Lackorzynski et al. - 2019 - A Comparative Study on Virtual Private Networks for Future Industrial Communication Systems.pdf:application/pdf;Snapshot:/home/lhebendanz/Zotero/storage/PXWNAC6D/8758010.html:text/html}, } @online{noauthor_nat_2026, title = {{NAT} Traversal: How It Works}, url = {https://dev.to/alakkadshaw/nat-traversal-how-it-works-4dnc}, shorttitle = {{NAT} Traversal}, abstract = {{NAT} traversal is the set of techniques that solves this problem: discovering public addresses,...}, titleaddon = {{DEV} Community}, urldate = {2026-02-11}, date = {2026-01-30}, langid = {english}, file = {Snapshot:/home/lhebendanz/Zotero/storage/UHJQ84AV/nat-traversal-how-it-works-4dnc.html:text/html}, } @software{krause_krausestjs-framework-benchmark_2026, title = {krausest/js-framework-benchmark}, rights = {Apache-2.0}, url = {https://github.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark}, abstract = {A comparison of the performance of a few popular javascript frameworks}, author = {Krause, Stefan}, urldate = {2026-02-11}, date = {2026-02-11}, note = {original-date: 2015-12-09T20:10:53Z}, }
