Implementing new OpenFlow features in ns-3 network simulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are witnessing a rapid growth in communication, and current networks are becoming larger and more complex. Many works point to the use of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and the OpenFlow protocol as enabling technologies to overcome current limitations. As the use of software-based simulation is a straightforward option for researchers in this area, the main contribution of this work is the validation and enhancement of the OpenFlow module for the well-known ns-3 network simulator.

متن کاملFloware: Balanced Flow Monitoring in Software Defined Networks
OpenFlow is a protocol-implementing Software Defined Networking, a new networking paradigm, which segregates packet forwarding and accounting from the routing decisions and advanced protocols. This segregation increases agility and flexibility and reduces operational expenses of the networking infrastructure. Despite the apparent benefits, many companies are unable to upgrade their networks to ...
