There are no data sets at that link per se, but you have, I think, explained that the AM SOSR data sets are at:
https://github.com/knowledgedefinednetworking/Unveiling-the-potential-of-GNN-for-network-modeling-and-optimization-in-SDN/tree/master/datasets
I have, also, just found this link:
Which was created 25 days ago.
The v1 datasets includes these topologies:
What I don’t know is if the delay and jitter data is the same in the datasets_v0, datasets_v1 and the data sets from the ACM SOSR paper.
I can further see that there is a gbnbw topology, which looks like it is the same as the GBN topology in the ACM SOSR paper.
Then we have, in datasets_v1, a germany50bw topology, whereas in datasets_v0 we have a synth50bw topology. Looking at the topology diagrams, these appear to be quite different networks. So you seem to have dropped the synth50bw and included the germany50bw.
Questions:
Is the delay and jitter data in all three versions of the nsfnetbw and geant2bw topology data sets the same?
Is the gbnbw topology from datasets_v1 the same as the GBN topology from the ACM SOSR paper, and are the delay and jitter the same?
Why do we have a germany50bw instead of the synth50bw topology?
Can I generally assume that the datasets_v1 supersedes the previous dataset versions in the sense that the training data is exactly the same, when the topologies are the same?
Can I generally assume that the later format of the data, in tar.gz files, supersedes any earlier format?
Many thanks

Hi Nathan,
In the ACM SOSR paper we only train the model with 260,000 training samples from the NSF network topology and evaluate it on 100,000 samples simulated in the GBN and GEANT2 topologies. You can find the datasets used in this paper at the following link:
https://github.com/knowledgedefinednetworking/Unveiling-the-potential-of-GNN-for-network-modeling-and-optimization-in-SDN/tree/master/datasets
Please, do not confuse these datasets with the ones that we used in our ACM SIGCOMM demo paper ("Challenging the generalization capabilities of Graph Neural Networks for network modeling"), which are on this link:
https://github.com/knowledgedefinednetworking/NetworkModelingDatasets/tree/master/datasets_v0
We made evaluations (internally) to train the jitter model from scratch and it works perfectly. However, in the ACM SOSR paper we wanted to show the possibility to make transfer learning from a model trained (in an early stage) to learn the delay and retrain it to model the jitter. This typically enables to save training time.
Regards,
José

Jose, following up now that I have the ACM version of the paper.
I can see that you are testing with both the GBN and Geant2 networks.
You also appear to say that you train only with the NSF network, and so you do not train with the synth50bw network. Is that correct?
Also, it looks like you have not trained a jitter model from scratch, as you explained that the jitter model "was trained from a model previously trained for the delay”. Training a jitter model from scratch is one of the aspects I should like to explore, so I wanted to understand this aspect better.
Many thanks
Nathan

Dear Nathan,
Probably you read our work-in-progress version uploaded at ArXiv. Please, check the last version published in the proceedings of ACM SOSR (https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3314357). Here, we make the evaluation also in GBN.
Sorry for the possible misunderstanding. We uploaded the README page (https://github.com/knowledgedefinednetworking/Unveiling-the-potential-of-GNN-for-network-modeling-and-optimization-in-SDN) to provide the link to ACM SOSR.
Regarding the GBN topology, unfortunately we didn't prepare a figure. However, you can find an image of this topology at the following paper (Figure 4):
J. Pedro, J. Santos, and J. Pires, “Performance evaluation of integrated otn/dwdm networks with single-stage multiplexing of optical channel data units,” in Proceedings of ICTON, 2011, pp. 1–4.
I hope it will be useful.
Regards,
José

Thank you Jose. I have read the paper (many times :-)). I have seen the details of the evaluation with the Geant2 network, but there is no mention of the GBN network in the paper.
I am perfectly comfortable with processing the data (you can see my code here: https://github.com/Data-Science-Projects/demo-routenet).
Specifically for the GBN network, I wanted to see what the topology looks like. I have the NED file, but I can’t use that NED file with OMNet (for reasons discussed elsewhere).
I can, of course, manually reverse engineer the NED file. But I wanted to ask if there was already a topology diagram just to save me the effort.
Regards
Nathan

Hello Nathan,
All these datasets where used in our paper:
Krzysztof Rusek, José Suárez-Varela, Albert Mestres, Pere Barlet-Ros, Albert Cabellos-Aparicio; "Unveiling the potential of Graph Neural Networks for network modeling and optimization in SDN," in Proceedings of ACM Symposium on SDN Research (SOSR) , pp. 140-151, April 2019.
Particularly, we trained RouteNet only with samples of the NSFNET dataset to predict the delay and jitter. Then, we evaluate the accuracy of the models already trained. This evaluation is made separately on the three datasets (NSFNET, GBN and GEANT2) to test the generalization capability of the model.
Please, find more details in Section 4 (Evaluation of the accuracy of the GNN model) of the paper.
Also, you can find information on how to process the datasets at the following link:
http://knowledgedefinednetworking.org/data/README_gnn.pdf

José

Hi
On this page:
https://github.com/knowledgedefinednetworking/Unveiling-the-potential-of-GNN-for-network-modeling-and-optimization-in-SDN/tree/master/datasets
I have seen that there is this data set:
http://knowledgedefinednetworking.org/data/GBN.zip
It is described as having been used for evaluation, but I can’t find anything else that refers to it.
Can anyone tell me more please?
Many thanks
Nathan
