Software defined networking (SDN) has emerged as a promising paradigm for making the
control of communication networks flexible. SDN separates the data packet forwarding …

Software-defined networking (SDN) is an emerging paradigm that has become increasingly
popular in recent years. The core idea is to separate the control and data planes, allowing …

We explain the notion of software-defined networking (SDN), whose southbound interface
may be implemented by the OpenFlow protocol. We describe the operation of OpenFlow …

To build a resilient and secure microgrid in the face of growing cyber-attacks and cyber-
mistakes, we present a software-defined networking (SDN)-based communication network …

Software-defined networking (SDN) is an innovative network architecture that splits the
control and management planes from the data plane. It helps in simplifying network …

Software-defined networking (SDN) has emerged as a new network paradigm that promises
control/data plane separation and centralized network control. While these features simplify …

Network Service Chaining (NSC) is a service deployment concept that promises increased
flexibility and cost efficiency for future carrier networks. NSC has received considerable …

Network failures continue to plague datacenter operators as their symptoms may not have
direct correlation with where or why they occur. We introduce 007, a lightweight, always-on …

Data center networks often have errors in the forwarding tables, causing packets to loop
indefinitely, fall into black-holes or simply get dropped before they reach the correct …
