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

Recently, several large-scale software defined networking (SDN) testbeds have been
designed and developed. These SDN testbeds have spurred numerous network …

We present OpenVirteX, a network virtualization platform that enables operators to create
and manage virtual Software Defined Networks (vSDNs). Tenants are free to specify the …

In this paper we investigate synergies between Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)
architectures and Software-Defined Networks (SDN). We identify value adding capabilities …

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has recently been proposed as a tool to optimize the
deployment of network functions by shifting the processing from dedicated middleboxes to …

Network virtualization is a promising approach for virtual network operators to configure their
own inter-cloud networks flexibly on an inter-cloud substrate network. Virtual network …

This paper addresses the problem of cloud and networking resources mapping in distributed
and hybrid cloud environments. In this context private and public resources are acquired …

Softwarization is the current trend of networking based on the success of technologies like
Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Virtualization. Network as a Service …

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is transforming the way networks are designed and
built, by decoupling control and data forwarding planes and centralizing network …

In this paper, we focused on two prevailing architectural approaches for control-plane
virtualization in multi-tenant OpenFlow-ready SDN domains: The first permits the delegation …
