SDN (SOFTWARE-DEFINED NETWORK)
1. Introduction
The aim of this report is to throw light on the Software Defined
Network, which is a revolutionary technology that is capable of
revolutionizing networks through Control Planes and decoupling the data.
This can be helpful in providing much end-to-end controls, flexibility, and
agility that has been necessary for the cloud computing. This report presents
a literature review on the SDN that describes about its layers, comparison
with traditional networks and advantages and disadvantages over the
traditional networks. A critical analysis has also been proposed in this report
to describe the security issues and the countermeasures for these issues
associated with the application of SDN.
