Abstract
Recently, it has emerged that both Internet of Things (IoT), and Software Defined Network (SDN) are becoming popular technologies. The main goal of IoT is to link electronic devices via the internet, meanwhile SDN facilitates network arrangement for management of a network by distinguishing the control layer and the data layer from each other. The number of electronic devices over the internet is increasing constantly, therefore it is a complicated process to manage and control especially over the huge distributed network. IoT network can be reasonably flexible and programmable through The SDN without introducing any trouble to the previously implemented network infrastructure. This paper reviews various IoT domains and applications such as cellular network, wireless Sensor, IoT management, security and smart city framework and common IoT SDN solutions. Moreover, The IoT and SDN notion has been explored critically, with assessing the current contributions in the research field. Lastly, analyzing current available solutions for SDN-based IoT implementations comparatively helps easily understanding the emerging trends view.

The IoT seems to have a profound impact on the communication approach between human and electronic devices in the decades
Summary
The Internet of Things (IoTs) is an emerging technology which enables smart ecosystem for leveraging heterogeneous technologies. A huge data is generated and collected from IoT devices that made an issue with developers and researchers while managing, controlling, monitoring and securing of IoT devices in a heterogeneous network. The infrastructure of traditional network and devices should be changed to realize full IoT benefits. SDN is a new networking architecture that tries to decouple the control and data planes. This separation gives a global view of the net-work to the network controller, facilitating traffic engineering and network management at runtime [4]. Different works highlighted that provide SDN based solutions for IoT environment.
