Implementation of SDN inaCampus NAC Use Case

Abstract

Software defined networks aim to provide high flexibility to modify network state and behavior, conventional networks are fixed and lack such features. This project introduces and demonstrates how to implement software defined networking concept within a campus network taking Sudan University of Science and Technology network as an example. The project uses Mininet emulation environment, and OpenDayLight as a controller to control this environment, the emulation components are integrated together to construct the system. The output of this project is an SDN based network controlled by the OpenDayLight controller. Which is using OpenFlow protocol to communicate between the controller and the switches
