“…SDN has changed management of network infrastructure by decoupling the network control plane and the data plane [17]. With the help of ONF, there has been wide scale industry adoption of the OpenFlow protocol as the standard southbound interface (SBI) to communicate with pure and hybrid OpenFlow SDN switches.…”

“…Such an environment is subjected to software and hardware restrictions, repetitive deployments and configurations, and dynamic business requirements. Small business enterprises, which are typically defined as possessing less than 500 employees in the United States and less than 250 employees in Europe, need to adopt an infrastructure that is efficient to configure and manage, inexpensive to deploy and operate, highly scalable, easy to operate, and secured from internal and external threats [32,17].…”

Software-defined networking (SDN) is reshaping the networking paradigm. Previous research shows that SDN has advantages over traditional networks because it separates the control and data plane, leading to greater flexibility through network automation and programmability. Small business networks require flexibility, like service provider networks, to scale, deploy, and self-heal network infrastructure that comprises of cloud operating systems, virtual machines, containers, vendor networking equipment, and virtual network functions (VNFs); however, as SDN evolves in industry, there has been limited research to develop an SDN architecture to fulfil the requirements of small business networks. This research proposes a network architecture that can abstract, orchestrate, and scale configurations based on small business network requirements. Our results show that the proposed architecture provides enhanced network management and operations when combined with the network orchestration application (NetO-App) developed in this research. The NetO-App orchestrates network policies, automates configuration changes, and manages internal and external communication between the campus networking infrastructure.While SDN can be difficult to define, the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) defines an SDN architecture as a networking model that is directly and programmatically configured, decouples the network control functions from the forwarding functions, logically centralizes the control, and is open standards-based and vendor-neutral [3]. In a small business networking environment, the infrastructure incorporates both SDN and traditional devices and must use an architecture that can flexibly manage both traditional and SDN domains [13].Traditional network engineering relies on device configuration via the command line interface (CLI) and does not scale to meet the complexity of multi-vendor SDN/traditional networks in small businesses. Programmability of traditional devices is cumbersome because they lack open, programmable interfaces, which prohibits developers from programming the network in the most efficient method [21,22]. Furthermore, integrating SDN and traditional networks is difficult due to the disparities between how they function: traditional networks operate with the help of MAC address tables and routing tables, whereas SDN with OpenFlow uses flow entries in flow tables. These disparities need a different methodology to integrate as a system, and research indicates that only a limited number of tools can handle these problems efficiently [23].Network automation reduces the manual effort required for completing routine tasks and decreases the amount of human error caused by traditional, manual CLI configurations. Starting with scripting and progressing to intelligent network control and efficient translation and deployment of network plans and policies, network automation is a key tool to facilitate traditional network management and operations. While using information from configuration files and deploying routin...

“…While this evolution is still progressing, a typical solution is required to create a customizable network environment that can provide immediate as well as long‐term network services without affecting the existing architecture. Many efforts have been made to meet this requirement such as network virtualization, overlay networks, SDN, etc. Among them, network virtualization is a promising way to create customizable and service‐oriented networking solutions through new or customized technologies inside the virtualized layer.…”

In this paper, we propose a service‐independent, user‐perspective reliability analysis index for the modern virtual service networks to quantify the magnitude of failure impacts in terms of actual user‐perceived value. If a virtual service network encounters failures, it will generate disruptions to the demand traffic. The proposed algorithm observes these disrupted demand flows and then maps that value to the overall network reliability. Comparative analysis and simulation results show that our proposed method is suitable for reliability evaluation in modern virtual service networks and can provide acceptable accuracy. Consequently, it can be used by service providers as a reliability indicator to monitor the application‐specific reliability for each virtual service network.

Abstract. Traditional network architectures are complex to manage, comparatively static, rigid and difficult to make changes for new innovation. The proprietary devices in such architectures are based on manual configuration which are unwieldy and error-prone. Software Defined Network (SDN) which is described as a new network paradigm that decouple the control plane from data plane are capable to solve today's network issues and improve the network performance. Nevertheless, among so many challenges and research opportunity in SDN, Controller Placement Problem (CPP) is said to be the most important issues which can directly affect the overall network performance. Thus far, the issue regarding the CPP and its challenge has not been completely reviewed and discussed properly in any other papers. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review on several optimized controller placement problem algorithms in SDN. This paper also highlights some limitations of the reviewed methods and also emphasizes on suitable approach to address the aforementioned problems.
