Legacy IPv4 networks are strenuous to manage and operate. Network operators are in need of minimizing the capital and operational expenditure of running network infrastructure. The implementation of software-defined networking (SDN) addresses those issues by minimizing the expenditures in the long run. Legacy networks need to integrate with the SDN networks for smooth migration towards the fully functional SDN environment. In this paper, we compare the network performance of the legacy network with the SDN network for IP routing in order to determine the feasibility of the SDN deployment in the Internet Service provider (ISP) network. The simulation of the network is performed in the Mininet test-bed and the network traffic is generated using a distributed Internet traffic generator. An open network operating system is used as a controller for the SDN network, in which the SDN-IP application is used for IP routing. Round trip time, bandwidth, and packet transmission rate from both SDN and legacy networks are first collected and then the comparison is made. We found that SDN-IP performs better in terms of bandwidth and latency as compared to legacy routing. The experimental analysis of interoperability between SDN and legacy networks shows that SDN implementation in a production level carrier-grade ISP network is viable and progressive.

“…They are the last mile internet service providers that have their home internet users and enterprises as clients. To avoid traffic flow in the hierarchies, ISPs in the same label can have private, public, transit, or donut peering with other ISPs 34 and might have settlement‐free interconnection agreement. Multiple ISPs can have peering through Internet eXchange Point (IXP) 35–3 7.…”

“…Hence, during the game play, ISPs are migrating to SoDIP6 network by setting the strategies based on the evaluation of different parameters, and their results are provided by Equation and the fitness value provided by Equation . When considering all N ISPs running with legacy IPv4 system in the beginning of the game play, then the utility (

μ_{k}^{4}

) for a Group‐1 ISP is

μ_{k}^{4} = p_{k}^{4} - c_{k}^{4} .

The symbols with their usual meaning as depicted in Table 1, initial parameter value assumptions in Table 2, and the mathematical interpretations were adapted from our previous work presented as a preliminary analysis 34 . If any ISP at a moment decided to migrate to SoDIP6 network, then the utility for an ISP migrated to SoDIP6 network can be expressed as

μ_{k}^{s 6} = p_{k}^{s 6} - c_{k}^{s 6} .

We suppose that SoDIP6 network is backward compatible and hence the utility due to its legacy networking capability will be an added benefit.…”

Summary With the increasing number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, current networking world is suffering in terms of management and operations with lack of IPv4 addresses leading to issues like network address translation (NAT) proliferation, security and quality of services. Software‐defined networking (SDN) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) are the new networking paradigms evolved to address related issues of legacy IPv4 networking. To adapt with global competitive environment and avoid all existing issues in legacy networking system, network service providers have to migrate their networks into IPv6 and SDN‐enabled networks. But immediate transformations of existing network are not viable due to several factors like higher cost of migration, lack of technical human resources, lack of standards and protocols during transitions, and many more. In this paper, we present the migration analysis for proper decision making of network transition in terms of customer demand, traffic engineering, and organizational strength with operation expenditure for network migration using evolutionary gaming approach. Joint migration to SDN‐enabled IPv6 network from game theoretic perspective is modeled and is validated using numerical results obtained from simulations. Our empirical analysis shows the evolutionary process of network migration while different internal and external factors in the organization affect the overall migration. Evolutionary game in migration planning is supportive in decision making for service providers to develop suitable strategy for their network migration. The proposed approach for migration decision making is mostly applicable to fairly sustained service providers who lack economics, regulation/policy, and resources strengths.

“…Das et al 76 presented the multitechnology migration using an agent‐based modeling technique, finding that joint migration is more beneficial than single technology migration in terms of cost optimization. A preliminary analysis with an economic model 86 of SoDIP6 network migration for nationwide interconnected ISPs to migrate their legacy networks into SoDIP6 networks from the evolutionary gaming approach was presented in our previous work 10 . To the best of our knowledge, there are limited studies on ISP network migration cost optimization considering different technologies.…”

Summary This paper studies a problem for seamless migration of legacy networks of Internet service providers to a software‐defined networking (SDN)‐based architecture along with the transition to the full adoption of the Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) connectivity. Migration of currently running legacy IPv4 networks into such new approaches requires either upgrades or replacement of existing networking devices and technologies that are actively operating. The joint migration to SDN and IPv6 network is considered to be vital in terms of migration cost optimization, skilled human resource management, and other critical factors. In this work, we first present the approaches of SDN and IPv6 migration in service providers' networks. Then, we present the common concerns of IPv6 and SDN migration with joint transition strategies so that the cost associated with joint migration is minimized to lower than that of the individual migration. For the incremental adoption of software‐defined IPv6 (SoDIP6) network with optimum migration cost, a greedy algorithm is proposed based on optimal path and the customer priority. Simulation and empirical analysis show that a unified transition planning to SoDIP6 network results in lower migration cost.
