Representational State Transfer

Summary Software-defined Networking (SDN) is a new networking paradigm also referred to as a “radical new idea in networking” [1]. The SDN enables network operators to make changes to the network infrastructure without sacrificing network availability and at the same time reduces network maintenance costs by providing a centralized point of control and one unified user configuration interface for switches, routers and middle-boxes1 from diverse vendors [2]. According to Sarah Sorensen, the author of the book of “The Sustainable Network”, “SDN tackles the barriers that constrain scale, automation, and agility by decoupling the forwarding layer from the control layer, which provides a central view and control over the network.” The basic idea behind SDN is to decouple forwarding plane from control plane, therefore SDN- capable switches are merely responsible for forwarding traffic whereas software controllers are middlemen between network applications and SDN-capable switches. For example, a BGP2 network application can reside on a software controller and exchange its routing table with other routers. It also updates the flow-table of the SDN switch according to its routing-table by using the REST APIs of the software controller without knowing about switch specific vendor-specific capabilities. Software controllers also present a unified, centralized and abstract model of the whole network to the network applications. Software controllers are merely programs running on the…

hotter object (higher temperature) to colder object (lower temperature) When an object is heated, it will absorb heat energy and the temperature will increase. When an object is cooled, it will release heat energy and the temperature will decrease. (c) Thermal Two objects are in thermal contact when heat energy contact can be transferred between them. (d)Heat transfer When two objects with different degrees of hotness come into thermal contact, heat energy is transferred between the two objects.…

Mathematical model Heat and mass transfer properties of counter flow wet cooling tower are obtained through the balance of mass and energy equations. The assumptions made for deriving the governing equations are listed below [14, 15]: • Heat and mass transfer take place only normal to the flow direction. • Heat transfer to the environment through the walls are negligible. • Heat transfer from cooling-tower fan is negligible. • Specific heats of water and dry air are constant. • Heat and mass…

Case Study 1: 1.The most likely cause of the ABO typing discrepancy in the reverse type is due to “unexpected antibodies” such as a cold/room temperature reacting alloantibody. 2.Since the auto control didn’t agglutinate, an alloantibody is suspected. With that being said, it needs to be one that reacts at room temperature. Furthermore, based on the antigen typing of the patient P1 is suspected to be interfering with the ABO results. The Lewis antigen was ruled out due to it being present on…

Logical maybe, but incorrect! "Hot air" rises but "heat" can travel in any direction. That is why you can feel the heat of the cup when you place your hand to the side of it. Radiant energy transfer is caused by a warm surface giving up its heat to a cooler surface. Whenever there is a temperature difference between two surfaces, both surfaces will attempt to equalize. Radiant energy travels through space without heating the space itself. It only turns into heat when it contacts a cooler…

1. Cite everyday illustrations of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. How does the laws of thermodynamics underlie every organism’s ability to function? The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; however, it can be converted to other forms. An everyday illustration of the first law of thermodynamic is photosynthesis in which a plant uses sunlight, a form of light energy, to produce sugars that are assembled into glucose, which is a type of…

Strain (ε) vs. Time curve (t). A classic creep curve is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Classic creep curve of metals (Strain as a function of time) There are three stages of creep. In the initial stage, or primary creep, the creep rate is relatively high, but gradually slows with increasing time. This is due to strain hardening which occurs when a metal is strained beyond its yield point. During the secondary stage, or steady-state creep, the strain rate achieves a relatively uniform rate. This…
