Performance Evaluation of Software Defined Networking compare to Traditional Networks

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.
