Abstract:
Unlike traditional networking methods, software-defined networking technology provides a way for many networks to become more agile and adaptive as its design helps in addressing the dynamic needs for modern networks. This project presents the implementation of two different topologies (three-legged and three-part) using SDN, It also indicates the key different between traditional and SDN networks and demonstrates the benefits of SDN technology considering the presented topologies in terms of factors such as: management, security, and performance.
Mininet emulation environment and its components are used. POX SDN controllers is used to provide fair comparison and illustrates the key differences according to various scenarios.
