Software Defined Home Networking: Research Challenges and Innovation Opportunities
نویسندگان
چکیده
The myriad of connected devices in today’s households have greatly increased the complexity of home networks. Evolving use cases demand new networking capabilities in the home and call for new approaches to deal with the control requirements and quality of experience expectations of end users. OpenFlow/SDN represents a recent trend in open interfaces to network elements and new control plane abstractions that may change the landscape of home networking. In this paper, we discuss the challenges of home networking and discuss the concept of Software Defined Home Networking (SDHN). In addition, we present some of our related achievements and a number of open research questions.

متن کاملSDN Security: A Survey
The pull of Software-Defined Network- ing (SDN) is magnetic. There are few in the networking community who have escaped its impact. As the benefits of network visibility and network device programmability are discussed, the question could be asked as to who exactly will benefit? Will it be the network operator or will it, in fact, be the network intruder? As SDN devices and systems hit the mark...
