Quality of Service Management Solution Becomes a Software-Defined Network Challenge

Abstract

The use of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has created a huge leap in the management of computer networks. SDN offers flexibility and the ability to dynamically manage networks, but along with its advantages, it also brings significant challenges in managing quality of service (QoS). QoS is critical to maintaining performance and user experience in increasingly complex and distributed network environments. The research method uses Solution Development to address a quality of service (QoS) management challenge and solution in Software Defined Networking with the approach of designing and developing practical solutions to address QoS management issues and challenges in SDN environments. Control Separation and Data Plane are centralized network control at the SDN controller, while the data plane reside in the networks hardware, both capable of maintaining QoS and a challenges in SDN with a computer network approach that separates the control layer from the data layer, enabling more flexible and centralized network management. Research conclusions related to SDN Software Defined Networking quality of service management problems and solutions, focusing on the problem of separating management and data levels. The separations of control and data plane concept in SDN has great potential to improve flexibility, scalability and more efficient network management.
