COMPLEMENTARY, NOT SUBSTITUTIVE: LOAD-DEPENDENT INTERACTION EFFECTS OF FIBRE-OPTIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND SOFTWARE-DEFINED NETWORKING ON ISP NETWORK PERFORMANCE IN A KENYAN RESEARCH-AND-EDUCATION NETWORK
Fibre-optic infrastructure and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) are each independently documented to improve network performance, yet whether their combined effect is simply additive or functionally interactive has not been empirically tested in an African ISP context. This paper reports that test, using KENET, Kenya'...
