Software Defined Networking or SDN is an architectural approach to managing the network where the control and forwarding are different planes that are controlled through an application interface.
Software-defined networking (SDN) represents a revolutionary shift in network technology by decoupling the data plane from the control plane.}In this architecture, all network decision-making processes are centralized in a controller,…
To meet the ever-growing demand for a higher communicating rate and better communication quality, more and more small cells are overlaid under the macro base station (MBS) tier, thus forming the heterogeneous networks. Small cells can ease…
SDN provides a programmable command and control networking system in a multi-tenant cloud network using control and data plane separation. However, separating the control and data planes make it difficult for incorporating some security…
