This section contains information about the implementation of the SDN switch core, interconnection of multiple SDN switches with the SDN controller (PowerPC) and the attacker nodes (Microblaze). The main functionality of the SDN switch is to modify packet header fields based on the flow table and forward it to the next port(s). The SDN controller is responsible for programming the flow table in each switch and monitor these switches to observe each packet flow. The Microblaze processor, acting as attacker nodes plays the role of an outside network and transmits packets at different programmable rates to the SDN switch network using an array of packet drivers. The big picture showing the connection between different components is given in Figure 3.1. The chapter is divided into two main sections. Section 3.1 describes the details of hardware implementation and section 3.4 describes the software implementation. 3.1 SDN Switch The Figure 3.2 shows the implementation of a 4 × 4 programmable switch implemented with store and forward architecture. It contains multiple internal registers for software access to provide insight about the traffic flowing through the switch. This switch is a simplified version of NetFPGA’s 1G Switch [21]. The logic is customized so that multiple switches can fit in to one FPGA. This switch provides 10-tuple matching to identify a flow and can support 32 flows at a time. The flow lookup table is implemented in a hash table which is programmed by

amid this configuration we tend to look for guidance from them as data, control, and application planes. At base, the data plane is included system segments, whose SDN Data ways uncover their abilities through the Control-Data-Plane Interface (CDPI) Agent. On top, SDN Applications exist inside of the application plane, and impart their needs by means of northward Interface (NBI) Drivers. inside of the centre, the SDN Controller interprets these needs and applies low-level administration over the SDN Data ways, while giving pertinent data up to the SDN

The purpose of this paper is to provide a better understanding of switching and routing used in a network environment and familiarize the reader with various hardware and software associated with there functions. This paper will look at some switching concepts that will include store and forward switching, cut through switching, fragment free switching, and V-Lan. This paper will also cover routing concepts, along with some comparisons including routed vs. routing protocols, Classful vs. classless protocols, and distance vector vs. link state protocols.

As this demand for dynamic and unpredictable data grows, more and more devices have to be added to existing networks and configured accordingly. The need of the hour is to regulate networks centrally and as a whole rather than configure individual network devices and gain more control to achieve flexibility in existing networks.
SDN is the new emerging technology used in data centers, mobiles and enterprise networks typically used for network virtualization. SDN allows for customized control planes and centralized data plan abstraction, making control and data planes parted.
In order to have a greater understanding of the terminology and descriptions offered in this paper, we must first understand what a network switch is. A brief definition of a network switch is a computer networking device that connects network segments. It uses the logic of a Network bridge, but allows a physical and logical star topology. It is often used to replace network hubs. A switch is also often referred to as an intelligent hub.
This article discusses the best in class in traffic engineering for SDN with attention to four cores including flow management, fault tolerance, topology update, and traffic analysis. The challenging issues for SDN traffic engineering solutions are talked about in detail. SDN is a developing networking administration that isolates the network control plane from the data sending plane with the guarantee to significantly enhance organize asset usage, streamline network management, reduce working expenses, and promote development and advancement. For network performance optimization by dynamically analyzing, predicting, and regulating the behavior of the transmitted data, traffic engineering is an important subject. Over the last two decades

Our model extends the network model as previously literature suggests so to account for end host and switch or physical migration. It also
Abstract—The advent of software defined networking enables flexible, reliable and feature-rich control planes for data center networks. However, the tight coupling of centralized control and complete visibility leads to a wide range of issues among which scalability has risen to prominence. We observe that data center traffic is usually highly skewed and thus edge switches can be grouped according to traffic locality. As a result, the workload of the central controller could be highly reduced if we carry out distributed control inside those groups. Based on the above observation, we present LazyCtrl, a novel hybrid control plane design for data center networks. LazyCtrl aims at bringing laziness to the central controller by dynamically devolving most of the control tasks to independent switch groups to process frequent intra-group events using distributed control mechanisms, while handling rare inter-group or other specified events by the controller. We implement LazyCtrl and build a prototype based on Open vSwich and Floodlight. Trace-driven experiments on our prototype show that an effective switch grouping is easy to maintain in multi-tenant clouds and the central controller can be significantly shielded by staying lazy, with its workload
Software Defined Network (SDN) Controllers are software applications that are able to perform network functions in an independent manner. They work as the brain of the network and take decisions based on fixed policies and the load present on the network, just like physical switches and network modules. SDNs are the technology of the future, and researchers around the world are eager to produce applications that employ them in various applications. Currently, researchers are finding out the important parameters of SDNs in order to use them on a larger, more unified scale. We will take a look at some important literature studies that have been recently presented on the topic of SDNs. Most of these studies were represented as conference
