Emerging mega-trends (eg, mobile, social, cloud, and big data) in information and
communication technologies (ICT) are commanding new challenges to future Internet, for …

OpenFlow is currently the most commonly deployed Software Defined Networking (SDN)
technology. SDN consists of decoupling the control and data planes of a network. A software …

MPLS was an attempt to simplify network hardware while improving the flexibility of network
control. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) was designed to make further progress along …

(57) ABSTRACT A control plane device in a cloud computing system executes a plurality of
virtual machines for implementing network function virtualization (NFV). The control plane …

(57) ABSTRACT A method for implementing a general packet radio service (GPRS) tunnel
protocol (GTP) in a packet core (PC) of a third generation (3G) network having a split …

(57) ABSTRACT A method implements a control plane of an evolved packet core (EPC) of a
long term evolution (LTE) network in a cloud computing system. A cloud manager monitors …

In the OpenFlow based split architecture, data-plane forwarding is separated from control
and management functions. Forwarding elements make only simple forwarding decisions …

In this paper, we describe an evolution of the mobile Evolved Packet Core (EPC) utilizing
Software Defined Networking (SDN) that allows the EPC control plane to be moved into a …

Software-defined networking (SDN) has attracted the attention of the research community in
recent years, as evidenced by a large number of survey and review papers. The architecture …
