Abstract
Conventional networking devices require that each is programmed with different rules to perform specific collective tasks. Next generation networks are required to be elastic, scalable and secured to connect millions of heterogeneous devices. Software defined networking (SDN) is an emerging network architecture that separates control from forwarding devices. This decoupling allows centralized network control to be done network-wide. This paper analyzes the latency and jitter of SDN against a conventional network. Through simulation, it is shown that SDN has an average three times lower jitter and latency per packet that translate to improved throughput under varying traffic conditions.
Highlights
Research on the future network is still on-going for solutions that will enable networks with better flexibility, dynamic, and support of programmable resources [1,2,3]
The control plane (CP) takes care of all routing decisions while the data plane (DP) performs packet forwarding and network control based on policy determined by the CP
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an interesting paradigm in networking that will change how network is built designed and operated
