Estimating the Flow Rule Installation Time of SDN Switches When Facing Control Plane Delay

Performance Evaluation of Next-Generation Data Plane Architectures and their Components

“…Performance Monitoring [18] Performance Modeling [1,2,19] Control Plane Performance [10,14] Traffic Modeling [6,17,22,23] Network Security [15] Data Plane Abstraction [3,12,20] Methodology [21] Simulative Performance Analysis Performance Modeling. Subsequently, in Chapter 2 of this thesis, we apply our monitoring approach to obtain measurement values for a state-of-the-art software router.…”

Optimization of Controller Placement and Information Flow in Softwarized Networks

“…To this end, we conducted several performance benchmarks of SDN-enabled hardware switches w.r.t. the flow rule installation time [14] and its sensitivity towards control plane delays [22]. While these benchmarks allow quantifying the heterogeneous performance of available hardware, functional tests regarding the isolation between virtual networks [7] can be used to determine the suitability of a switch for a particular use case.…”
