Software Defined Networking (SDN) has been recently introduced as a new communication paradigm in computer networks. By separating the control plane from the data plane and entrusting packet forwarding to straightforward switches, SDN makes it possible to deploy and run networks which are more flexible to manage and easier to configure. This paper describes a set of extensions for the INET fram...

The telecom industry has recently started to adapt the emerging paradigm of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) in combination with cloud computing to the telecommunication world. Both technologies enable a high degree of automation and flexibility for existing and novel networks. As this combination can reduce costs and enables the development of new business opportunities, telecom providers bui...

Software-defined network (SDN) is a new programmable networking designed to perform tasks easier by enabling network administrators to add network control via a centralized control platform and open interfaces. Common network use procedures such as traffic shifts, troubleshooting and various types of device configuration. Thus devices are needed to reconfigure with the network, in order to crea...

ion allowing the control of low level behavior in switching devices. Such an approach could turn out to be beneficial, since it would simplify the deployment of new more efficient schemes for low level switch operations [20]. On the other hand, while moving all control operations to a logically centralized controller has the advantage of easier network management, it can also raise scalability ...

With the prosperity of cloud computing, various simulation tools, such as CloudSim, are developed to experiment ever-changing user requirement and system supply before deploying a system into real-world scenarios. However, there is no existing cloud simulation tool to support Software Defined Network (SDN), which provides programmable networking paradigm. To implement SDN into the cloud simulat...

Software-defined networking (SDN) is an emerging network technology that decouples the control plane from the data plane. Using SDN, a fine-grained flow-level inspection for cyber security can be performed by capturing suspicious packets on the network and steering the captured traffic to a traffic analyzer. This work proposes a flow inspection scheduling for various types of traffic flows on S...

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is rapidly transforming the networking ecosystem of cloud computing data centers. However, replicating SDN-enabled cloud infrastructures to conduct practical research in this domain requires a great deal of effort and capital expenditure. In this paper, we present the architecture of theCLOUDS-Pi, a testbed for conducting research on SDNenabled cloud computing....

Smart environment requires uninterrupted connection when moving from one network to another. This is best accomplished at the network level (L3). Full interoperability and integration of heterogeneous networks is necessary for communication session continuity. Software Defined Networking (SDN) with virtual IP addresses solves the problem. Implementing a homogeneous SDN is expensive, given the e...

This white paper presents concept and solutions for virtualization of networks using Software Defined Networking. Software Defined Networking is an emerging trend in the networking and communication industry and it promises to deliver enormous benefits, from reduced costs to more efficient network operations. It is an architecture that allows network administrators to easily manage and introduc...

The demand for flexible network management has been growing significantly over the last several decades, which comes with a series of other related demands in network virtualization, stringent security, tenant isolation in cloud, and high performance and reliability for broadband access. To meet these demands from both users and enterprises, numerous networking protocols had been designed and d...
