Abstract:
Software-defined network continues to be one of the most hyped
technology evolutions in information and communication technology
compare to all traditional and perfuse network technologies.
These traditional networks introduce many challengestime-consuming,
Multi-vendor environments require a high level of expertise and complicate
network segmentation, inconvenience and difficulty of learning to manage
such a huge systems and devices and more.
In this study, mininet software is emulated using many different scenarios
in order to evaluate the connectivity and performance of SDN networks
compare to traditional networks.
Consider the difficulty of SDN network as new technology the performance
of these scenarios is evaluated by using iperf tool to investigate that the
SDN networks can meet the basic function of traditional networks.
The requirements for the functionalities of the current network are not
complex, only basic switching and routing are required. These were
simulated with the different topologies.
