Software defined networking (SDN) decouples the control plane from the data plane of
forwarding devices. This separation provides several benefits, including the simplification of …

Hybrid IP networks that use both control paradigms-distributed and centralized-promise the
best of two worlds: 1) programmability of software-defined networking (SDN) and 2) …

Changing the whole network into a software defined network (SDN) is impractical due to
high replacement cost. Therefore, there exist SDN hybrid networks, where SDN switches …

We propose a Dynamic Load-balanced Path Optimization (DLPO) algorithm which can suit
for different SDN-based data center network topologies. The proposed DLPO changes paths …

Software defined networking (SDN) is gaining the confidence of network operators, who are
increasingly motivated to introduce it in their networks. However, since SDN is based on …

Given the rate at which communication technologies and protocols evolve, network
operators are often cautious of fully migrating to a new technology like Software Defined …

Software Defined Network (SDN) for large-scale IP provider network is an open issue and
different solutions were proposed. However, the hybrid IP networks in which both distributed …

This article addresses the joint switch and controller placement problem in a hybrid software-
defined network (SDN), which is an intermediate step of transforming a traditional backbone …

Software Defined Network (SDN) has been considered as one of the most promising next-
generation network solutions due to its network programmability. However, the upgrade from …

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a computer network paradigm that has the potential
to simplify network management and configuration by increasing network programmability …
