Smart delivery and retrieval of swab collection kit for COVID-19 test using autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), are one of the highly emerging technologies of the modern day. Due to their small size, flying capabilities, and complex machinery, drones can be deployed in diverse fields, including agriculture, sports, entertainment, parcel delivery, disaster management, search and rescue, emergency medicine, and healthcare. In case of medical emergency, timely delivery of the required emergency kit is very important. This is often not possible in many un

Lookaside: Augmenting the Performance of Packet Processing Pipeline
The network switches and routers need to forward the network packets at a line-rate. The underlying hardware and software implementations may limit the performance of these packet processing devices. In this paper, we propose a novel model, called Lookaside, to increase the performance of the network switches by extracting the payload from the packet and storing it in a nearby standard memory, such as dynamic random access memory (DRAM), before the packet is sent for processing. We know that the

Effective routing technique: Augmenting data center switch fabric performance
Today, data center networks (DCNs) are built using multi-tier architecture. These large-scale networks face many challenges, such as security, delay, low throughput, loops, link oversubscription, TCP Incast and Outcast, etc. In this paper, a TCAM (Ternary Content Addressable Memory) based routing technique is proposed, augmenting the routing capabilities of multi-tier architectures in large scale networks. The routing complexities in these architectures are rectified and improved by implementing

Fuzzy logic and bio-inspired firefly algorithm based routing scheme in intrabody nanonetworks
An intrabody nanonetwork (IBNN) is composed of nanoscale (NS) devices, implanted inside the human body for collecting diverse physiological information for diagnostic and treatment purposes. The unique constraints of these NS devices in terms of energy, storage and computational resources are the primary challenges in the effective designing of routing protocols in IBNNs. Our proposed work explicitly considers these limitations and introduces a novel energy-efficient routing scheme based on a fu

TOSwitch: Programmable and high-throughput switch using hybrid switching chips
The future of networking switches and routers foresees in two key features: Programmability and Throughput. In this letter, we propose a Traffic Offload Switch (TOSwitch) model for such a versatile switch, using different breeds of switching chips, an ASIC and an FPGA, to achieve the above two key features. Our TOSwitch model is useful in many real-world use cases. The TOSwitch gives line-rate throughput and low latency for current and future network protocols. In our simulation on Xilinx Zynq 7
