Future wireless networks are expected to provide augmented and data-intensive services in a multi-vendor multi-proprietor scenario. This scenario introduces relevant challenges to the networkinginfrastructure, especially in terms of flexibility and interoperability, that could be addressed by extending the concept of Virtualization and Software Defined Networking (SDN) to the wireless or wired-cum-wireless world. This paper provides a review of the perspectives to the…

Wireless Networks have become ubiquitous and dense to support the growing demand from mobile users. To improve the performance of these networks, new approaches are required, such as context and service aware control algorithms, which are not possible on today’s closed proprietary WLAN controllers. In this work, we propose Ethanol, a software-defined networking architecture for 802.11 dense WLANs. This paper describes…

Nowadays, network management has become difficult because of tremendous increase on IP traffic demands. At this point, a flexible and dynamic control mechanism is needed that diminishes the complexity of physical topology. Software Defined Networking (SDN), is one of the proposed next generation technologies to overcome this problem. SDN paradigm provides a simple management strategy for dummy switches in physical topology…

Large latency of applications will bring revenue loss to cloud infrastructure providers in the cloud data center. The existing controllers of software-defined networking architecture can fetch and process traffic information in the network. Therefore, the controllers can only optimize the network latency of applications. However, the serving latency of applications is also an important factor in delivered user-experience for arrival requests.…

The OpenFlow (OF) protocol is widely used in Software Defined Networking (SDN) to realize the communication between the controller and forwarding devices. OF allows great flexibility in managing traffic flows. However, OF alone is not enough to build more complex SDN services that require complete control and management of the data plane (e.g. configurations of ports, queues, etc.). The…

Software-Defined Networking promises to deliver more flexible and manageable networks by providing a clear decoupling between control plane and data plane and by implementing the latter in a logically centralized controller. However, if such principles are to be applied also to wireless networks, new primitives and abstractions capable of providing programmers with a global view of the networkcapturing channel quality and…

Virtual machine migration is an essential capability that supports cloud service elasticity. However, there is a big concern on what happens to the security policy associated with the migrated machine. Recently, Software Defined Networking (SDN) has gained momentum in both research and industry. It has shown great potential to be used in cloud data centers, particularly for inter-domains migration…

Due to the emergence of cloud computing and various cloud services which are remote and geographically distributed, datacenters interconnected by optical networks have attracted much attention of network operators and service providers. With the purpose of supporting cloud services more effectively and efficiently, IT resources and interconnected network resources provisioning could be considered in an…

Nowadays, the explosive growth of real-time applications that need stringent Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) support, forces network programmers to design network protocols that deliver specified performance guarantees. This paper exploits the use of Software-DefinedNetworking (SDN) in conjunction with the OpenFlow protocol to differentiate network services with quality level assurance and to respect agreed Service Level Agreements. Initially, we define a…

Widely available and remotely accessible test beds have been used for a direct comparison of innovative protocols and ideas with existing technologies. Therefore, multiple test beds have been established, aiming at providing experimentation services with both wireless and wired networks. In this context, several frameworks have been developed that enable easy experimentation with the heterogeneous…
