Software defined network emulation with OpenFlow protocol

Tsehay Admassu Assegie

Abstract


In software defined network the network infrastructure layer where the entire network devices, like switches and routers reside is connected with the separate controller layer with the help of standard called OpenFlow. The open flow standard enables different vendor devices like juniper, cisco and Huawei switch to connect to the controller or a software program. The software program controls and manages the network devices. Therefore, software defined network architecture makes the network flexible, cost effective and manageable, enables dynamic provisioning of bandwidth, dynamic scale out and dynamic scale in compared to the traditional network. In this study, the architectures and principles of software defined network is explored by emulating the software defined network employing a mininet.
