Software-defined networking (SDN) is an evolving technology providing proper segregation between the control part and data-forwarding domain of network devices. The expansion of the Internet of Things (IoTs) and embedded mobile devices increases the volume of traffic at the network backbone and causes processing costs in the control plane. This directly affects the Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) of the switches because insufficient space makes it more challenging to manage the flow-entries. In this situation, providing services to specific users who newly authenticate after the successful handoff from the previous SDN domain is challenging. This paper proposes a method for implanting the users’ primary domain’s flow-rules in the serving SDN domain. As the TCAM is already suffering from a short space, it is hard to handle the flow-tables of multiple SDN domains in limited TCAM storage. The SDN-based Integration of the Interdomain Flow-rule in the SDN (IIF-SDN) scheme maximizes the proficiency of the switches by effectively storing flow-table and flow-entries. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is benchmarked with proactive and reactive SDN approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
