Abstract. This paper aims to present CDFS, a centralized, dynamic flow schedule mechanism to maximize network throughput and to minimize the conflict between elephant and mice flows. CDFS schedules elephant flows with a scalable "Max-min Weight" scheme, which is adaptive to the available bandwidth of links. Meanwhile, switches route mice flows with multipath routing method. Experiment results show that CDFS improves network throughput by 10% when mice flows dominate the network traffic, and reduces mice flow latency by at least 60% compared to the standard OpenFlow model.

Las redes definidas por software (SDN) son un nuevo paradigma en redes de datos que separan el plano de control del plano de datos, dicha separación proporciona grandes ventajas asociadas con el control y la gestión de redes; estas redes abren muchas oportunidades en investigación para proponer soluciones a los problemas existentes. Por otro lado, IPv6 es el protocolo de nueva generación y de la futura infraestructura global de Internet. El objetivo principal de este artículo es presentar una metodología sencilla para la emulación de una SDN configurada con el protocolo IPv6, usando OpenFlow 1.3 y el controlador RYU mediante la herramienta Mininet; esta combinación facilita la enseñanza e investigación en esta área. Para este propósito, en este documento se describe las características importantes de IPv6, SDNs el protocolo OpenFlow 1.3 y el controlador RYU. Además se describen los requerimientos y recomendaciones fundamentales para dicha emulación, y se presentan los resultados de pruebas sencillas con el fin de verificar la conectividad, transferencia de datos y operación sobre una topología de prueba.

Software Defined Networks (SDN) have become a new way to make dynamic topologies. They have great potential in both the creation and development of new network protocols and the inclusion of distributed artificial intelligence in the network. There are few emulators, like Mininet, that allow emulating a SDN in a single personal computer, but there is lack of works showing its performance and how it performs compared with real cases. This paper shows a performance comparison between Mininet and a real network when multimedia streams are being delivered. We are going to compare them in terms of consumed bandwidth (throughput), delay and jitter. Our study shows that there are some important differences when these parameters are compared. We hope that this research will be the basis to show the difference with real deployments when Mininet is used.Keywords: Multimedia delivery; Multimedia streaming; Software Defined Networks (SDNs); Mininet.www.macrothink.org/npa 37 Network Protocols and Algorithms ISSN 1943-3581 2015 IntroductionDue to the substantial improvement in terms of hardware and software for computer networks and also the number of network devices available around the world, the interconnections of devices as well as the network complexity have increased. This fact has also enhanced the way we currently process the information transmitted through the network. Over the past 30 years, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has developed and built around 5500 Request for Comments (RFC) [1]. Nowadays, Internet and other networks are able to offer huge amount of functionalities suited to the requirements of users.In general, network devices perform two main functions, i.e., the transport function and the control function. On the one hand, the transport function (data plane) that is in charge of sending data through the routes previously calculated. This function is normally performed by specialized circuits known as Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). The control function (control plane) manages the transport operation thanks to the exchanged information between network devices and the calculation of optimal routes. This allows each device to independently treat the traffic. Network administrators have available few resources to manage and increase the efficiency of the data flows.A professional of networks often finds a big challenge the fact of configuring a network and installing the needed network elements to work properly. Due to the services and the features required by the applications currently require, it is possible to increase the network efficiency if we try to manage jointly the entire network. In this way, there appears the need of developing a new technology to reduce the costs and increase the efficiency by automating policy-based flows.Software-Defined networking (SDN) is a new approach for designing, building, and managing networks that separates the network's control and forwarding planes of a better network optimization [2]. The SDN architecture decouples the netw...
