家庭网络在设备和应用方面变得越来越丰富，但继续以中立的方式共享宽带链路。我们认为，个性化家庭网络体验的时机已经成熟，允许家庭区分其用户（例如，父亲的笔记本电脑优先于孩子的iPad）和服务（例如，视频流优先于下载）。在本文中，我们认为SDN提供了一种家庭自动化自定义的方法，而基于云的交付简化了用户管理。我们开发了一个架构，包括基于云的前端门户网站和基于SDN的后端API，并展示了这些可以被用户用来提高流媒体视频（YouTube）的质量和视频会议（Skype）的经验，并允许设备特定的家长控制（例如Facebook访问）。我们在一个包含泛光灯控制器和OVS开关的平台上对我们的解决方案进行原型设计和验证。最后，我们通过现实场景的实验来评估我们的解决方案，以量化用户体验质量提高和新功能方面的好处。
Home networks are becoming increasingly rich in devices and applications, but continue to share the broadband link in a neutral way. We believe the time is ripe to personalize the home network experience, allowing a household to differentiate its users (e.g. father's laptop prioritized over kid's iPad) and services (e.g. video streaming prioritized over downloading). In this paper we argue that SDN provides a way to automate self-customization by households, while cloud-based delivery simplifies subscriber management. We develop an architecture comprising a cloud-based front-end portal and SDN-based back-end APIs, and show how these can be used by the subscriber to improve streaming-video (YouTube) quality and video conferencing (Skype) experience, and to permit device-specific parental controls (e.g. Facebook access). We prototype and validate our solution in a platform comprising the Floodlight controller and OVS switches. Lastly, we evaluate our solutions via experiments of realistic scenarios to quantify the benefits in terms of improved quality of experience and new features for the user.
