Abstract:The Software Defined Network paradigm deviates from traditional networks by logically centralising and physically separating the control plane from the data plane. In this work, we present the idea of a modular, agent-based SDN controller. We first highlight issues with current SDN controller designs, followed by a description of the proposed framework. We present a prototype for our design to demonstrate the controller in action using a few common use-cases. We continue the discussion by highlighting areas th… Show more
