Networking in Cloud Computing: Embracing Contests and Seizing Prospects

Abstract

Cloud computing presents the concept of utility computing, which allows users to access computing, storage, and networking resources as needed, with a usage-based pricing model. However, consumers have limited control over network resources, and cloud-computing providers confront a number of issues when operating infrastructure as a service (IaaS) environments. This research investigates the networking difficulties and federation challenges inherent in IaaS, as well as unique software-defined networking (SDN) concepts that could provide efficient solutions for future deployments.
