Abstract : User applications, such as VoIP, have problems traversing NAT
gateways or firewalls. To mitigate these problems, applications send
keepalive messages through the gateways. The interval of sending
keepalives is often unnecessarily short, which increases the network
load, especially in mobile networks. Port Control Protocol (PCP)
allows the applications to traverse the gateways and to optimize the
interval. This paper describes the deployment of PCP in
software-defined networks (SDN) and proposes a method to measure
keepalive traffic reduction in mobile networks using PCP. The
proposed solution extends the battery life of mobile devices and
reduces the traffic overhead in WCDMA networks.
