Software-Defined Networking

TL;DR: A comprehensive survey of different SDN-based technologies, which are useful to fulfill the requirements of IoT, from different networking aspects—edge, access, core, and data center networking.

TL;DR: This article comprehensively survey studies that examine the SDN paradigm in optical networks; in brief, it mainly organize the SDON studies into studies focused on the infrastructure layer, the control layer, and the application layer.

TL;DR: This paper aims to shed light on SDN related issues and give insight into the challenges facing the future of this revolutionary network model, from both protocol and architecture perspectives, and present different existing solutions and mitigation techniques that address SDN scalability, elasticity, dependability, reliability, high availability, resiliency, security, and performance concerns.

TL;DR: A comprehensive up-to-date survey of the research and development in the field of hybrid SDN networks is presented and guidelines for future research on hybridSDN networks are derived.

TL;DR: This work presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of B4, a private WAN connecting Google's data centers across the planet, using OpenFlow to control relatively simple switches built from merchant silicon.

TL;DR: The SDN architecture and the OpenFlow standard in particular are presented, current alternatives for implementation and testing of SDN-based protocols and services are discussed, current and future SDN applications are examined, and promising research directions based on the SDN paradigm are explored.

TL;DR: This work compares and discusses design choices and features of proposed ICN architectures, focusing on the following main components: named data objects, naming and security, API, routing and transport, and caching.

TL;DR: The question posed here is: Can one build a network operating system at significant scale?
