Software switches are pivotal in the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm,
particularly in the early phases of development, deployment and testing. Currently, the most …

Currently, software-defined networking (SDN) platforms leverage the link-layer discovery
protocol (LLDP) to discover the underlying topology. However, the LLDP is suboptimal in …

In Software Defined Networking (SDN), it is crucial for the controller to manage the data
plane and provide basic services with creating and maintaining a real-time abstract topology …

Discovering network elements in a dynamic and optimized manner and being able to
contend with ever-growing traffic is a key requirement for current networking environments …

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a pillar of next-generation networks. Implementing
SDN requires the establishment of a decoupled control communication, which might be …

Handling efficiently both wired and/or wireless devices in SDN networks is still an open
issue. eHDDP comes as an enhanced version of the Hybrid Domain Discovery Protocol …

Computer networks are adopting the new Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture,
however not all devices can support it, mainly due to power and computational constraints …

The continuous progress of society has created conditions for the widespread use of
information technology. People rely more and more on information technology and the …

This letter presents an enhanced hybrid Software-Defined Networking (SDN) layer-2 switch
whose behavior is specified by the Programming Protocol-independent Packet Processors …

Software defined networking (SDN) aims to provide simplified network design, operation,
and management using a decoupled control plane. However, its centralized control and …
