Abstract

Emerging trends in information technology like cloud computing, mobile computing, big data etc are posing new challenges to future Internet, as it requires higher accessibility, high bandwidth, and dynamic management. On the other hand, traditional approaches cannot fully utilize the capability of physical network infrastructure. Software-defined networking (SDN) is one of the most promising solutions for future Internet. SDN is characterized by its two distinguished features (1) decoupling the control plane from the data plane, and (2) providing programmability for network application development. As a result, SDN is positioned to provide better performance, and higher flexibility to accommodate innovative network designs. This paper surveys the programmable networks with main focus on SDN. The SDN architecture and the OpenFlow standard are discussed.
