Data Communication Speed and Network Fault Tolerant Enhancement over Software Defined Networking

Abstract

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new networking paradigm where control plane is decoupled from the forwarding plane. Nowadays, for the development of information technology large number of data traffic has been added in the global network each day. Due to proliferation of the Internet, e-commerce, video content and personalized cloud-based services higher channel bandwidth required to deliver larger data from one center to others. Lower data communication speed and fault tolerance are major factors for SDN which degrades network performance. This paper presents enhancement of data communication speed and fault tolerance over SDN using link aggregation control protocol (LACP). The result of this paper shows network performance has been improved by increasing approximately 31% data transmission speed over SDN using LACP. Moreover, this paper shows fault tolerance have been improved by LACP which prevents failure of any single component link from leading to breakdown the entire communications.
