OpenFlow is one of the most famous protocols for controller-to-switch communications in
software-defined networking (SDN), commonly seen as a promising way towards future …

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging architecture for the next-generation
Internet, providing unprecedented network programmability to handle the explosive growth …

The aim of this letter is to propose an analytical model to study the performance of software-
defined network (SDN) switches. Here, SDN switch performance is defined as the time that …

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a new paradigm that promises to enhance network
flexibility and innovation. However, operators need to thoroughly assess its advantages and …

Software defined networking (SDN) aims to standardize the control and configuration of
network infrastructure. It consolidates network control by moving the network's control plane …

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging networking technology that has
attracted intense interest from both the industry and research communities. Thus far, it is …

OpenFlow enabled networks split and separate the data and control planes of traditional
networks. This design commodifies network switches and enables centralized control of the …

Due to the limited service capabilities of centralized controllers, it is difficult to process high
volume of flows within reasonable time. This particularly degrades the strict quality of service …

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is emerging as a new paradigm in which the control
plane is decoupled from the data plane. SDN is an enabler of network control to become …

Traditional IP networks are becoming more complex to satisfy the demands of modern
applications and it draws communication providers to exploit a wide range of specialized …
