“…Pupatwibul et al [19] proposed to enhance Mobile IP networks using Openflow, which share similar goals to us. However, as we will show, they only proposed one possible way to solve the problem, which may not be optimal in many scenarios, while in this paper, we will abstract the problem and give a general discussion to seek for the best solution.…”

A large number of solutions have been proposed to support mobility in IP networks including original Mobile IP, its derivatives and several newly proposed protocols. However, these solutions have drawbacks in different aspects including triangle routing, handover inefficiency, heavy signaling overhead, etc. In this paper, we argue that these problems can be addressed based on Software Defined Networks (SDN). We discuss why SDN helps to solve the problems in current IP mobility protocols and give our algorithms to demonstrate how the problems are solved. We also present an Openflow-based protocol design to realize our idea. We show performance benefits of our protocol comparing with existing IP mobility protocols through implementation and experiments on Mininet.

“…Resilience strategies may use the concept of mobility in the face of a challenge, e.g., a device may need to temporarily migrate to another region until normal service is re-established. Challenges related to user mobility are summarized in the work of Pupatwibul et al [128], where the authors recognize that OpenFlow is a suitable technology for dealing with mobility issues. Sabbagh et al [134] propose a solution based on reprogramming OpenFlow switches to solve the problem of relocation rules in order to maintain communication when the user moves from one point to another in network.…”

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an architecture for computer networking that provides a clear separation between network control functions and forwarding operations. The abstractions supported by this architecture are intended to simplify the implementation of several tasks that are critical to network operation, such as routing and network management. Computer networks have an increasingly important societal role, requiring them to be resilient to a range of challenges. Previously, research into network resilience has focused on the mitigation of several types of challenges, such as natural disasters and attacks. Capitalising on its benefits, including increased programmability and a clearer separation of concerns, significant attention has recently focused on the development of resilience mechanisms that use software-defined networking approaches. In this article, we present a survey that provides a structured overview of the resilience support that currently exists in this important area. We categorize the most recent research on this topic with respect to a number of resilience disciplines. Additionally, we discuss the lessons learned from this investigation, highlight the main challenges faced by SDNs moving forward, and outline the research trends in terms of solutions to mitigate these challenges . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 This article presents a survey on the support for network resilience in SoftwareDefined Networking (SDN). This has been the subject of intense investigation by the academic and industrial community in the past few years, as evidenced by the number of papers included in our survey (159 references in total). Capitalizing on the benefits of SDN, including increased programmability and a clearer separation of concerns, significant attention has recently focused on the development of resilience mechanisms that use software-defined networking approaches. Thus, a wide range of solutions to classical network problems have been revisited using this architecture, but many problems continue to be challenging.Our survey investigates the resilience support that currently exists in this important area, and categorizes the most recent research on this topic with respect to a number of resilience disciplines. Additionally, we discuss the lessons learned from this investigation, highlight the main challenges faced by SDNs moving forward, and outline the research trends in terms of solutions to mitigate these challenges. The aim of the survey is to offer to the reader a structured view of network resilience in the SDN spectrum, and how resilience aspects are supported in these architectures.We believe that this subject material is closely aligned with the objectives of the journal.

Abstract. With the proliferation of mobile device and applications, a large number of mobility management solutions have been proposed to support mobility in IP networks. Mobile IP and its derivatives are basically network layer solutions for terminal mobility problems. However, there are several shortages in those solutions, such as large overhead, high latency, lack of scalability and weak security. Software Defined Networking (SDN) provides a flexible centralized approach to handle mobility in IP networks. In this paper, we propose a network based secure mobility management architecture. SDN controller manages the mobility with full authority and controls OpenFlow Switches to forward packets for mobile nodes in optimal path. The implementation and test results show a better delay and throughput performance during the handover process. IntroductionWith the growing number of mobile devices (e.g., smart phones, tablets, and laptop computers), the demand for mobility management is becoming a primary requirement in current mobile infrastructure. Today's cloud-enabled, everything-as-a-service (XaaS) [1] network environments expect to provide simple and secure mobile access to all the data and applications for users, regardless of their physical location. Service providers want to make it easy to locate users and provision their services ubiquitously. Currently, IP mobility solutions (Mobile IP (MIP) [2] with its derivatives, variations, and auxiliary [3][4][5][6]) are insufficient in terms of scalability and resource utilization to large scale mobile networks. It is urgent to excogitate more flexible and easier methods to provide world-wide mobility support. Software Defined Networking (SDN) [7] is an emerging network architecture approach. The separation of control plane with data plane is its essential feature and the evolution comparing with traditional fixed IP networks. In SDN, the underlying network infrastructure is abstracted from applications while network structures, functions and status are logically centralized. OpenFlow [8] is the potential protocol for the communication between controllers and OpenFlow Switches (OFSs). OFSs are simply responsible for data forwarding based on their flow table which is configured by controller. SDN controllers expose and abstract various network functions and * Corresponding author.
